The visualization team develops and supports tools for visualizing and presenting scientific data generated by users of the LC high-performance computing Center. Team members are experienced in the use of graphics libraries and environments ranging from "turn-key" tools (e.g. EnSight, AVS, Tecplot, VisIt) to visualization libraries (e.g., IDL and OpenGL) to utilities such as plotting packages and image conversion programs. A complete listing of supported graphics software is also available. This includes information about each of the products, how to set up your environment to run the software, documentation pointers, and information on installing a local copy of the software if applicable.

PowerWall Facilities
Our "PowerWalls" include physically large and high resolution displays, built and maintained by ASC. Two unclassified PowerWalls are located in the Building 453 Armadillo Room (a large projector display) and the Building 451 White Room (a large LED scren).
