NASA tapped Kitware as the open source software company to work on solving critical issues regarding an ultrascale visualization system that can enable real-time investigation of extremely large datasets using massive distributed memory architectures and up 100,000 cores.
Collaborating with California-based SciberQuest, Kitware will embark on Phase I of the project. This phase of the project is limited to developing prototypes and selecting a solution.
If Phase II is funded, those prototypes and that solution will be incorporated into ParaView and the underlying Visualization Toolkit.
