Foil 6 1D Client Server "Collaborative" Visualization (Ki, Klasky)

From Summary of Binary Black Hole Technologies Visit by CEWES Team -- Mar 25 1997. by Scott Klasky *

Features:
  • Platform Independence: Java 1.1 implementation.
  • User definable filters. The most important aspect of scientific visualization is "filtering" raw data, and converting it into coherent graphs to investigate the physics! There is a lack of good tools available for scientific use.
  • Client Server access. Data is typically on a supercomputer, and we want to send this data from the client to the server which is on the "users" machine.
  • Animations, cut/paste data between windows. Typically systems evolve in time, and we need to animate the data to observe trends. We need to merge data together to compare and contrast.
  • F77, F90, C libraries to link to our server.
