Progress on H5Part: A Portable High Performance Parallel Data Interface for Electromagnetics Simulations (2008)

Adelmann, Andreas, Gsell, Achim, Oswald, Benedikt, Schietinger, Thomas, Bethel, Wes, Shalf, John, ...

Significant problems facing all experimental and computationalsciences arise from growing data size and complexity. Common to allthese problems is the need to perform efficient data I/O on...

HDF5-FastQuery: Accelerating Complex Queries on HDF Datasets Using Fast Bitmap Indices (2005)

Gosink, Luke, Shalf, John, Stockinger, Kurt, Wu, Kesheng, Bethel, Wes

Large scale scientific data is often stored in scientific data formats such as FITS, netCDF and HDF. These storage formats are of particular interest to the scientific user community since they...

NERSC Annual Report 2004 (2005)

Hules, John, Bashor, Jon, Yarris, Lynn, McCullough, Julie, Preuss, Paul, Bethel, Wes

The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) is the premier computational resource for scientific research funded by the DOE Office of Science. The Annual Report includes...

DEX: Increasing the Capability of Scientific Data Analysis Pipelines by Using Efficient Bitmap Indices to Accelerate Scientific Visualization (2005)

Stockinger, Kurt, Shalf, John, Bethel, Wes, Wu, Kesheng

We describe a new approach to scalable data analysis that enables scientists to manage the explosion in size and complexity of scientific data produced by experiments and simulations. Our approach...

Performance Modeling for 3D Visualization in a Heterogeneous Computing Environment (2004)

Bowman, Ian, Shalf, John, Ma, Kwan-Liu, Bethel, Wes

The visualization of large, remotely located data sets necessitates the development of a distributed computing pipeline in order to reduce the data, in stages, to a manageable size. The required...

ProteinShop: A tool for interactive protein manipulation and steering (2004)

Crivelli, Silvia, Kreylos, Oliver, Max, Nelson, Hamann, Bernd, Bethel, Wes

We describe ProteinShop, a new visualization tool that streamlines and simplifies the process of determining optimal protein folds. ProteinShop may be used at different stages of a protein structure...

Visual Data Exploration and Analysis -- Report of the Visualization Breakout Session at the 2003 SCaLeS Workshop - Volume II (2004)

Bethel, Wes, Frank, Randy, Fulcomer, Sam, Hansen, Chuck, Joy, Ken, Kohl, Jim, ...

This article describes the role of scientific visualization in computational and experimental sciences with emphasis upon future research challenges.

VisPortal: (2003)

Wes Bethel, Cristina Siegerist, John Shalf, Praveenkumar Shetty, Oliver Kreylos, Kwan Liu Ma

The LBNL/NERSC Visportal e#ort explores ways to deliver advanced Remote/Distributed Visualization (RDV) capabilities through a Grid-enabled web-portal interface. The e#ort focuses on latency tolerant...

VisPortal: Deploying grid-enabled visualization tools through a web-portal interface (2003)

Bethel, Wes, Siegerist, Cristina, Shalf, John, Shetty, Praveenkumar, Jankun-Kelly, T.J., Kreylos, Oliver, ...

The LBNL/NERSC Visportal effort explores ways to deliver advanced Remote/Distributed Visualization (RDV) capabilities through a Grid-enabled web-portal interface. The effort focuses on latency...

SmartBRT: A Set of Planning, Analysis and Evaluation Tools for Bus Rapid Transit: Final Report Year 1 of 2 (2003)

Balvanyos, Tunde, Bethel, Wes, Gardes, Yonnel, Kourjanskaia, Natalia, Liu, Hongchao, Misener, Jim, ...

We report Year 1 results from a two-year project to develop a computer simulation, evaluation and visualization "toolbox", SmartBRT, to describe and evaluate operational aspects of bus rapid transit...

Wes Bethel

We describe a collection of tools designed to be used in a Modular Visualization Environment (MVE) that facilitate the use of a Virtual Reality (VR) input device. VR input devices provide the means...

Visualization Dot Com (2000)

Visualization Dot Com, Wes Bethel

In this article, we explore the seemingly well-worn subject of distance-based, or remote visualization. Current practices in remote visualization tend to clump into two broad categories. One...

Site Remediation in a Virtual Environment (1996)

Wes Bethel, Janet Jacobsen, Preston Holl

We describe the process used in combining an existing computer simulation with both Virtual Reality (VR) input and output devices, and conventional visualization tools, so as to make the simulation...

Chemical Flooding in a Virtual Environment - A Survivor's Guide to VR Development (1996)

Wes Bethel

Building something which could be called "virtual reality" (VR) is something of a challenge, particularly when nobody really seems to agree on a definition of VR. We wanted to combine scientific...
