High performance flow field visualization with high-order access dependencies
10.1109/SciVis.2015.7429515
We present a novel model based on high-order access dependencies for high performance pathline computation in flow field. The high-order access dependencies are defined as transition probabilities from one data block to other blocks based on a few historical data accesses. Compared with existing methods which employed ...

In Situ Eddy Analysis in a High-Resolution Ocean Climate Model
10.1109/TVCG.2015.2467411
An eddy is a feature associated with a rotating body of fluid, surrounded by a ring of shearing fluid. In the ocean, eddies are 10 to 150 km in diameter, are spawned by boundary currents and baroclinic instabilities, may live for hundreds of days, and travel for hundreds of kilometers. Eddies are important in climate s...

We introduce a set of integrated interaction techniques to interpret and interrogate dimensionality-reduced data. Projection techniques generally aim to make a high-dimensional information space visible in form of a planar layout. However, the meaning of the resulting data projections can be hard to grasp. It is seldom...
