ACENET and the Power of Scientific Visualization

Online

We all know the advantages of a bar chart instead of a table full of numbers. The bigger your dataset, the greater the value of seeing it visually and being able to pinpoint both broad and specific critical areas for decisions. Scientific visualization of large datasets can be applied across a number of areas, including engineering, material science, sensor/drone data, geospatial, and life sciences. Join them at this session to learn about powering up innovation with supercomputing, and using scientific visualization to make better decisions. There are no prerequisites and no technical knowledge is needed. This session is aimed at mid to senior level managers with R&D technology responsibilities, and R&D engineering or scientific staff with no scientific visualization experience. The webinar is a precursor to the Interactive Data Analysis & Visualization with Paraview workshop below.
