The development of a new visualization facility called HIPerWall (Highly Interactive Parallelized Display Wall) to advance the state of Earth science modeling and visualization. HIPerWall is a high-performance visualization system with a wall-sized ultra high-density tiled display that operates at the perception threshold of the human eye, allowing researchers to view and manipulate their data sets as resolutions commensurate with today’s large-scale computational grids or dense sensor network data. HIPerWall, a best-of- breed system, will be the first massively-tiled, 180 Mega-pixel display and facilitate interaction with and analysis of complex scientific information. Advance distributed computing and rendering techniques will allow out team to develop and deploy this system at a fraction of the cost and require physical space of current projection based systems.
