T he NCAR SCD Visualization Lab is a complex facility that combines visual supercomputers with a next-generation, electronic collaboration environment. Featuring two visual supercomputers, several midrange visual workstations, five high-resolution projectors, and a 24-by-9-foot projection screen, the lab gives researchers the capability to visualize massive data sets and numerical models. It is also a node on the AccessGrid, an ensemble of network and computing resources designed to foster geographically distributed scientific research.
The Vislab has been in nearly constant use since early 2002 by numerous researchers, working groups, and organizations. These photos show evolution of the facility from its early construction phase in fall 2000 to the present.
