Visualization

CS undergrads Jen Solyanik, Wes Rupert and Stephen Grugett join us to discuss their experiences and accomplishments as summer 2011 interns at Microsoft. They were part of a team of engineering interns whose technical challenge was to design and implement parallel visualization technology…

This discussion about new Concurrency Visualizer features available in Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview includes team members James Rapp, Sasha Dadiomov, Matthew Jacobs, and Alexey Kamenev.  Some of the new features include C++ AMP profiling support, an SDK for custom visualizations,…

In this video we demonstrate how to run ParaView scalably with the Microsoft HPC Server. We describe the requirements for accessing, processing and rendering your data in parallel and demonstrate parallel visualization with a challenging meterological data set. We explain our pipeline which first…

Kathy Palmer, Lead Program Manager of the HPC Team, presents the management and monitoring enhancements released with R2.  The notion of personal supercomputing is a core operational paradigm that is rapidly evolving in the numerical computing ecosphere.  Various visualization aids, such…

The BizSpark startup called Fireside Experience is one of the first to implement the now Web-friendly PivotViewer online by way of an app called Zoomappy. The app is a visual search engine for Apple, Android and Windows Mobile games (and wow, there are a lot of them!). As with any data hosted in…
