Visualization and Research Computing
An Introduction to Deep Media
Nicholas Polys
is presenting a series of short six courses in Visualization and
Research Computing which will serve as an introductory to the production and
deployment of Deep Media. 'Deep Media' refers to interactive 3D virtual
spaces that may include rich media types such as images, sound, video
and animation. The first session will be a high-level exploration of
the possibilities for visual communication using a variety of
technologies and display venues. Their applicability for research and
pedagogical challenges will be central to this discussion and
demonstration.

Including Visualization in Grant Propsals
Computer visualization can add significant strength to your project's research design. This workshop will feature
practical ways you can build sophisticated visualization techniques into your grant proposal, adding to its
intellectual merit as well as the proposal's immediate visual appeal.
AOE 4065 Design (Space)
During Fall Semester of 2007,
Dr. Kevin Shinpaugh,
Director of Cluster and Research Computing at Virginia Tech, is teaching
AOE 4065 Design (Space)
which he had also taught in Fall of 2006.
This course introduces aerospace engineering students to the design of
complex space systems. The key elements and subsystems of several
important classes of space systems are presented. The systematic
approach necessary to design space systems effectively is illustrated
through case studies. Individual and group design projects are
conducted and presented.
This course serves as a senior design capstone in the Aerospace
Engineering program, integrating space science and engineering material,
and introducing students to the problems associated with designing space
systems. This course also meets the University "writing intensive"
requirement.
Prior Courses
During Fall semester 2006, the Center for High-End Computing Systems (CHECS)
offered two short-courses open to VT researchers interested
in getting started with parallel programming -- it is anticipated that similar classes will
be offered again in the future:
- Introduction to Parallel Programming with MPI.
5:00-6:15 p.m., October 16, 18, 23, 25.
- Introduction to Parallel Programming with OpenMP.
5:00-6:15 p.m., October 31, November 2, 7, 9.
