Researchers rave about visualization system
By Alex Cheatham
Staff Writer
After six months of
construction, the UNT
Research and Visualization
Environment at Discovery
Park is complete. An open
house will take place Friday.
Sporting a display of
12 monitors in a four-
by-three grid totaling 49
million pixels, the system
can give researchers a new
way to analyze informa-
tion created from the UNT
supercomputer, the TALON
cluster. Elizabeth Hinkle-
Turner, assistant director of
academic computing and user
services, and Jesse Hamner,
project manager, said the
system is important for data
analysis.
"The 21st century has
brought the ability to generate
overwhelming amounts of
data," Hinkle-Turner and
Hamner wrote in an article.
"These data, while useful,
must still be examined and
understood."
The system cost about
$100,000 to build.
UNT's TALON cluster uses
more than 1,700 computer
processors. Each processor
can work on a specific problem,
creating an immense amount
of data for the researchers,
Hamner said.
"After the data is gener-
ated, now what?" Hamner
said. "The RAVE answers
the now what and can give a
better understanding of the
work [the researchers have
done]."
Hinkle-Turner said the new
system would arrange the data
produced by the supercom-
puter in a various ways.
"Because of high perfor-
mance computing, researchers
have generated so much data,"
Hinkle-Turner said. "It's hard
to analyze a bunch of numbers
and create a graph, so the RAVE
translates data [created by the
TALON cluster] into a visual
entity to help researchers
better understand."
A visual entity can include
a shape, graph or picture to
demonstrate the data.
The system was created
to give researchers a more
comprehensive way of
analyzing data while
enhancing research at UNT.
The system's large display
shows lists of numbers as
graphs or pictures or can
allow researchers to zoom
in without losing important
information.
Researchers who might
benefit from the system
include the UNT faculty,
professors and students,
who need not be limited to a

The UNT Research And Visualization Environment will have an open house from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday in room C236 at Discovery Park. On display will be a system of
12 monitors arranged in a four-by-three grid totaling 49 million pixels. The system can give researchers a new way to analyze information created from the IJNT
supercomputer, the TALON cluster.
specific area of research.
Although not open as a
generaJ-access computer Jab,
students in the engineering,
information science, social
science, art and political
science programs will be able
to use the system.
Most students using the
system will be graduate
students, Hamner said.
After researchers view the
data on the large screen, they
have opportunity to print
their data on a large-scale
printer.
"The printer works just
like a regular ink-jet printer,
but has nine ink-cartridges
and can print up to five feet
by 100 feet at a really high,
photographic resolution," said
Hamner.
The system will be open
to the public from 1 p.m. to 4
p.m. Friday for an open house
at Discovery Park C236. There,
staff will conduct demonstra-
tions of the facility and the
software as well as answering
questions about research
opportunities.
