Introduction ParaView Catalyst has yielded some amazing results. Such results include iso-surfacing and generating images with 256K Message Passing Interface (MPI) ranks on Mira at Argonne National Laboratory, as well as computing particle paths and outputting iso-surfaced extracts at 42K cores using Adaptable Input/Output System (ADIOS). The wide variety of outputs that have been obtained […]

The implementation of numerical simulations has led to several benefits for the scientific community, including cost and time savings, improved product performance, and new product design and manufacturing. With high-performance computing (HPC), the potential benefits are significantly greater [1]. For years, the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and ParaView development teams have been dedicated to providing state-of-the-art […]

With simple zero-dimensional data, basic statistics of a population can be displayed with a boxplot. A boxplot shows the median, interquartile range, and outliers in a population described using single scalar values. For example, you can plot the distribution of ages for a random sampling of 40 individuals. The boxplot shown below enables you to identify the median age, […]
