This task becomes even more critical when dealing with larger data sets. Therefore, a valuable visualisation design strategy is to couple graphical representations and user tasks to better support the sense making process. This paper focuses on a particular task where users must make sense of state changes occurring on nodes of a graph. To this end, we propose JASPER, a new layout algorithm focusing on the visualisation of nodes inspired from pixel-oriented layouts, relying on node clustering to identify and represent existing connections through spatial adjacency. JASPER can layout moderate size graphs in real-time and is able to tackle large graphs with up to 2 million nodes and 5 million edges in reasonable time (about half a minute). Furthermore, although JASPER has been designed around a specific application , the underlying methodology can be employed to draw quick overviews of any type of graphs. The paper lays down the underlying principles of JASPER, and reports it performances (execution times) on increasingly large graphs. JASPER is then used and showcased to visualise network propagation phenomenon in large graphs.","PeriodicalId":89305,"journal":{"name":"Visualization and data analysis","volume":"47 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87054828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design of the system is motivated for ease of use and its future transition to mobile platforms, so as to have the widest possible impact across users possessing a range of skills/interests.

Serial algorithms are commonly translated to parallel CUDA or OpenCL algorithms. To perform this translation a user must first overcome various GPU development entry barriers. These obstacles change depending on the user but in general may include learning to program using the chosen API, understanding the intricacies of parallel processing and optimization, and other issues such as the upkeep of two sets of code. Such barriers are experienced by experts and novices alike. Leveraging the unique source to source transformation tools provided by Clang/LLVM we have created a tool to generate CUDA from C++. Such transformations reduce obstacles experienced in developing GPU software and can increase efficiency and revision speed regardless of experience. Image processing algorithms specifically benefit greatly from a quick revision cycle which our tool facilitates. This manuscript details togpu, an open source, cross platform tool which performs C++ to CUDA source to source transformations. We present experimentation results using common image processing algorithms. The tool lowers entrance barriers while preserving a singular code base and readability. Providing core tools enhancing GPU developer facilitates further developments to improve high performance, parallel computing.","PeriodicalId":89305,"journal":{"name":"Visualization and data analysis","volume":"48 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76370857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, the continuously growing scale of the data nowadays challenges the traditional data analytics in the ”big-data” era. Particularly, the human cognitive capabilities are constant whereas the data scale is not. Furthermore, most existing work focus on how to extract interesting information and present that to the user while not emphasizing on how to provide options to the analysts if the extracted information is not interesting. In this paper, we propose a visual analytic tool called MaVis that integrates multiple machine learning models with a plug-andplay style to describe the input data. It allows the analysts to choose the way they prefer to summarize the data. The MaVis framework provides multiple linked analytic spaces for interpretation at different levels. The low level data space handles data binning strategy while the high level model space handles model summarizations (i.e. clusters or trends). MaVis also supports model analytics that visualize the summarized patterns and compare and contrast them. This framework is shown to provide several novel methods of investigating co-movement patterns of timeseries dataset which is a common interest of medical sciences, finance, business and engineering alike. Lastly we demonstrate the usefulness of our framework via case study and user study using a stock price dataset.","PeriodicalId":89305,"journal":{"name":"Visualization and data analysis","volume":"13 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75605328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
