Data and Visualization Corridors: Report on the 1998 DVC Workshop Series, Note: DOE Report, September, 1998.
The Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation sponsored a series of workshops on data manipulation and visualization of large-scale scientific datasets. Three workshops were held in 1998, bringing together experts in high-performance computing, scientific visualization, emerging computer technologies, physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering. These workshops were followed by two writing and review sessions, as well as numerous electronic collaborations, to synthesize the results. The results of these efforts are reported here. Across the government, mission agencies are charged with understanding scientific and engineering problems of unprecedented complexity. The DOE Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative, for example, will soon be faced with the problem of understanding the enormous datasets created by teraops simulations, while NASA already has a severe problem in coping with the flood of data captured by earth observation satellites. Unfortunately, scientific visualization algorithms, and high-performance display hardware and software on which they depend, have not kept pace with the sheer size of emerging datasets, which threaten to overwhelm our ability to conduct research. Our capability to manipulate and explore large datasets is growing only slowly, while human cognitive and visual perception are an absolutely fixed resource. Thus, there is a pressing need for new methods of handling truly massive datasets, of exploring and visualizing them, and of communicating them over geographic distances. This report, written by representatives from academia, industry, national laboratories, and the government, is intended as a first step toward the timely creation of a comprehensive federal program in data manipulation and scientific visualization. There is, at this time, an exciting confluence of ideas on data handling, compression, telepresence, and scientific visualization. The combination of these new ideas, which we refer to as Da ta and Visualization Corridors (DVC), can raise scientific data understanding to new levels and will improve the way science is practiced

SPRINT2D Software for Convection Dominated PDEs, In Modern Software Tools in Scientific Computing, Edited by E. Arge and A.M. Bruaset and H.P. Langtangen, Birkhauser Press, 1997.
SPRINT2D is a set of software tools for solving time-dependent partial differential equations in two space variables. The software uses unstructured triangular meshes and adaptive error control in both space and time. This chapter describes the software and shows how the adaptive techniques may be used to increase the reliability of the solution procedure for a challenging combustion problem. The recent construction of a problem solving environment (PSE) has partially automated the use of SPRINT2D. This PSE consists of tools such as a visual domain specification tool, which helps ease the input of complex geometries, and a visual problem specification tool. After describing these components an evaluation will be made of SPRINT2D and its associated PSE.
