High Performance Computing  

Name Description Funding Source Contact
amask The amask tool exposes process masks (affinity) of an application within a parallel environment, so that users can determine the cores/hardware-threads where each process is allowed to run. NSF Award 1134872 Kent Milfeld
milfeld@tacc.utexas.edu
ICAT ICAT assists users in modifying, compiling, and optimally running their applications on HPC platforms equipped with the Intel Knights Landing (KNL) processors. NSF Award #1642396
NSF Award #1359304

Visualization

Name Description Funding Source Contact
Display Cluster DisplayCluster is a software environment for interactively driving large-scale tiled displays. The software allows users to interactively view media such as high-resolution imagery and video, as well as stream content from remote sources such as laptops / desktops or high-performance remote visualization machines.   Gregory D. Abram
gda@tacc.utexas.edu
GraviT Two-pronged approach: GraviT will replace the OpenGL pathways commonly used for visualization with a high-performance, open-source ray tracing engine that can interactively render on both a CPU and on accelerator architectures; GraviT will provide a direct interface to a high-performance distributed ray tracing engine. Collaborative Research: SI2-SSI

Massive Pixel Environment (MPE) MPE is a library for extending Processing sketches to multi-node tiled displays. This library makes it possible to render interactive Processing sketches across distributed computing systems on many displays. National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Heri Nieto
hnieto@tacc.utexas.edu
SpRay A distributed-memory speculative ray tracer for out-of-core and in situ rendering   Paul Navrátil
pnav@tacc.utexas.edu
Texas Pandemic Flu Toolkit The Texas Pandemic Flu Toolkit is a collection of tools for forecasting and simulating flu pandemics, as well as optimizing health resources across the state. These tools are made available via a web-based interface, where users can compute new models and interactively visualize results using a variety of methods.
