Description:


    This tape presents the aesthetic highlights of scientific visualization projects by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. NCSA, a nonprofit organization, provides access to advanced scientific computing resources and new approaches to interdisciplinary research to scientists. These visualizations (originally two to 12 minutes in length), envision large scientific databases from many research areas. Scientists use visualization both to understand their data and to communicate their findings to their peers . AIl GCI was created on Wavefront and in-house modeling and imaging software on the Sun 3/60, SGI IRIS 3130 and Raster Technologies hardware. Rendered performed on an AlliantF/X-80, images are recorded on ¾” videotape via an Abekas A62.
