Large-Scale Visualization and Multi-Resolution (GPU) Data Structures
The rapidly increasing amount of data acquired or computed in data-driven science presents a tremendous challenge to visualization and analysis. Nevertheless, for exploring, analyzing, and understanding large-scale data it is crucial to enable interactive visualization. Well-established basic approaches to tackling this challenge are on the one hand using multi-resolution representations, while often on the other hand exploiting the processing power of GPUs. However, scaling to extreme-scale data requires going beyond standard approaches. This talk will give an overview of some of our work on multi-resolution methods for very large data, such as microscopy volumes from neuroscience or large-scale particle data from molecular dynamics simulations, and designing data structures and visualization algorithms that are well-suited to the characteristics of GPU architectures.
