What will I be researching in lab? (Right) The image shows an example of a visualization tool built using Vtk with its Tcl/Tk to visualize the flatten ANAG AMR data and the embedded boundaries. 1 1. http://vis.lbl.gov/Research/ChomboVis99/vtk-initial.html LPPD, University of Illinois at Chicago • Grid/Mesh Generation • ITK and VTK • Delaunay Triangulation • 32 versus 64 bit • Does the tech exist, or do I have to create it?
Mesh Generation An unstructured 3D Mesh.3 2.http://vis.lbl.gov/~prabhat/Incite19/getting-started.html 3. http://chenlab.ece.cornell.edu/projects/Portable3DFaces/ LPPD, University of Illinois at Chicago Creation of a mesh that approximates a geometric domain 2D polygonal 3D polyhedral Unstructured vs. Structured An unstructured 2D Mesh.2

Delaunay Meshing/Triangulation Graphical representation of a Delaunay Mesh. 7 7 http://blog.121pcs.com/terrain-modeling-delaunay-triangulation.html LPPD, University of Illinois at Chicago • A grid generation method with two tasks • Addresses mesh topography through mesh points • Create a mesh topology through Delaunay Triangulation
How does the computer process information? A graphical denotation on how information is analyzed and outputted in a computer system.8 8. Wikipedia.org 9. http://computer.howstuffworks.com/osi1.htm A graphical denotation of the seven computer layers.9. LPPD, University of Illinois at Chicago • How is data stored on computers? • This is done by the computers CPU • The CPU organizes and analyzes the if/or statements in data, and organizes them into bits, then bytes, which then become executable software. • The computer we know of is composed of seven layers. Data analysis is the second layer in computing.
32 vs. 64 bit? • 32 and 64 bit CPU’s • How is the correlated to computer RAM? • What are the differences is memory capacity? A X86-64 Architecture Intel CPU10. 10. http://www.alexrruiz.com/ 11. http://sisblog.structuredit.ca/?p=9 LPPD, University of Illinois at Chicago 11.

How does this relate to data analysis? 12. LPPD, University of Illinois at Chicago Insufficient memory problems 64 bit machines: greater computational engines 12. http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/unisex/generic/65a0/
My Semester Goals LPPD, University of Illinois at Chicago Find/install a 64 bit Mesh Generator Application - 50% If there isn’t one, modify source code so that the generator is 64 bit compatible- 0% Learn how to use ITK/VTK/ParaVIEW grid generation tools- 5% Create an application with ITK that computates meshes of any size (+4 GB)- 0% Create fixing tools that eliminate meshing problems – 0%
Questions? LPPD, University of Illinois at Chicago I will take this time to answer any questions about my presentation.
