Laboratory (Bologna, Italy), a research facility run by a consortium of
Italian universities, has selected software from Advanced Visual Systems
to visualize a broad range of scientific, analysis and high-performance
computing projects at the new state-of-the art facility.
Using AVS/Express Multipipe Edition (MPE) in conjunction with an SGI Onyx2,
Origin 3800 and a CRAY T3E massively parallel computer to project data
onto a 150 degree curved screen using a Barco Barron immersive desk connected
to three Onyx2 graphics pipes, the Laboratory will undertake, among other
projects, the development of breakthrough bioengineering applications
and the simulation of cultural heritage data to maintain and protect valuable
historic sites.
According to Sanzio Bassini, Manager of CINECA's High Performance Systems
Division, "We are pleased to be able to use the AVS software systems
in our Virtual Theater because they open up a wider range of applications
for us to use in our research. We have used AVS's software at the Lab
for many years and have developed a close relationship with the company.
As such, the move to empower our Virtual Theater with AVS/Express was
a natural step and it enables us to consider undertaking larger projects
and collaborative research with external organizations."
"We find it very important to have a tool such as AVS/Express,"
continued Bassini, "because the software allows one to be able to
build an application on a laptop computer and visualize the data without
any additional effort inside the Virtual Theater. Partnership is key to
our mission at CINECA, and the partnership with AVS helps us to improve
our technologies, especially in the industrial fields."
