Calit2 & CEOA at SC06
Description
The California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2)
and the Center for Earth Observations and Applications (CEOA) present collaborative
research on sensor networks and instrument grids designed for the NSF funded projects EarthScope, the Ocean Observatories Initiative,
LOOKING, and ROADNet, enabled by cyberinfrastructure initiatives such as the OptIPuter. A 35-megapixel Intel-based MacMini tiled
display system (MiniMe) was used to demonstrate the transmission of real time
signals from the USArray seismic sensors, the ROADnet image bank, and remote playback of HDTV imagery transmitted from vigorously venting
submarine hydrothermal fields near the northern end of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, with simultaneous stream analysis and 3D visualizations of
various geophysical datasets. Work done under the Scripps-BP collaboration, protein data visualizations by Calit2 and the Scripps
Genome Center, will also be displayed. CEOA will also participate in a demonstration of remote and collaborative approaches to visualization
as demonstrated by LSU and IBM.

Through the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research (NCMIR), this exhibit demonstrates neuroscience initiatives based on OptIPuter technologies, showcasing real-time experiments performed by users collaboratively manipulating 2-D and 3-D datasets. The data is located on local and remote storage clusters but is tied to public databases such as the Cell Centered Database. The multi-megapixel display also showcases live and pre-recorded high-definition video streams from remote light and electron microscopes. (This work is also being supported by the NIH National Center for Research Resources and the Center for Research in Biological Structure.)

Through efforts led by the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL), several OptIPuter partners on the SC06 exhibition floor are participating in the first "Visualcasting" trial, an application-level form of multicasting in which multiple HDTV video camera and scientific visualization animation streams are distributed easily to partner sites and displayed on variable-sized tiled displays."
