Exploring Visualization Techniques with HACC Simulation Data

Abstract

In this project we explore several different techniques for visualizing data created by Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) cosmology simulations. We present four methods that have thus far been explored. Mainly, we discuss visualizing data through ParaView, vl3, SPH interpolation, and virtual reality environments. We display our preliminary results, as well as our plans to begin applying our techniques to large scale data sets.
