Scientific Simulations Gas Phase Nucleation Multi-Component/ Multi-Phase Materials Estimating Hospital Quality Future Symposium Colloquium Series Special Seminars Visitors Supercomputing '98 Research Reports The Supercomputing Institute was one of three partners participating in the IBM booth at Supercomputing ‘98 in Orlando, Florida, the other two being the Maui High-Performance Computing Center and PDC (a high-performance computing research center in Sweden). Tom Cortese (left), a researcher working with Professor David Yuen, Geology and Geophysics Department at the University of Minnesota, with Birali Runesha (right) of the Supercomputing Institute’s User Support Staff are pictured in front of the live demonstration showing how pv3, an interactive parallel visualization program developed by Kirk Jordan of IBM, interfaces with three-dimensional mantle convection cores. The demonstration was done by co-processing, a process by which data was visualized at the same time it was being calculated. Both visualizations and calculations were done on-site by an IBM SP supercomputer with NightHawk processors. space
