NCSA a key partner in next-generation data analysis center

The University of Tennessee, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the University of Wisconsin, NCSA, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory will receive $10 million from the National Science Foundation over four years to establish a state-of-the-art visualization and data analysis center aimed at interpreting the massive amounts of data produced by today's most powerful supercomputers.

The TeraGrid eXtreme Digital Resources for Science and Engineering award will fund UT's Center for Remote Data Analysis and Visualization (RDAV), which will include a new SGI machine named Nautilus.

NCSA will collaborate with staff at the University of Tennessee to develop and deploy a portal and service-oriented architecture for visualization and analysis of scientific data on Nautilus.
