A Continuum is Emerging

• All information is becoming digital• Computing is becoming

– Ubiquitous used everywhere– Continuous interconnected– Pervasive invisible to the user

Page 6: AAAS  February 2002 Boston,  Massachusetts USA Sid Karin skarin@sdsc

Human Performance is Finite

An individual can absorb about one gigabyte of information per second (1 GB/s).

Most of this information is visual.

Page 9: AAAS  February 2002 Boston,  Massachusetts USA Sid Karin skarin@sdsc

High-end Computing

Page 10: AAAS  February 2002 Boston,  Massachusetts USA Sid Karin skarin@sdsc

• Collect data from digital libraries, laboratories, and observation

• Analyze the data with models run on the grid

• Visualize and share data over the Web

• Publish results in a digital library

Looking out for San Diego’s Regional Ecology

• Unique partnership– 31 federal, state, regional,

and local agencies– John Helly, et al., SDSC

• Combines technologies and multi-agency data– Sensing, analysis, VRML– Physical, chemical, and

biological data

• Web-based tool for science and public policy

Digital Galaxy

• Collaboration with Hayden Planetarium– American Museum of

Natural History

– Support from NASA

• MPIRE Galaxy Renderer – Scalable volume visualization

– Linked to database of astronomical objects

– Produces translucent, filament-like objects
