AVIDD Facility Dedication

AVIDD, which stands for Analysis and Visualization of Instrument-Driven Data, is a distributed computing facility with components at IU Bloomington, IUPUI, and IU Northwest. AVIDD will:

  • Manage very large data sets
  • Provide facilities for analysis of real-time data streams
  • Enable scientists to interact with and analyze data with distributed visualization environments

The AVIDD facility is opening new doors for research at Indiana University because its novel design addresses the full life cycle of data analysis including intake, storage, analysis, and visualization. AVIDD is aimed at a great diversity of sciences, including the life sciences, geophysics, atmospheric sciences, physics, and chemistry. There are few, if any, similar efforts in existence today.

The presentation will be broadcast live to the following locations:
IUPUI – University Library, Lilly Auditorium
IUN – Hawthorn Hall 105

Program
9:30-10:15am Opening remarks, Wrubel Computing Center Atrium

Assistant Director of the NSF (Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering)

10:05-10:15am Demonstration overviews
10:15-10:30am Refreshments
10:30am Demonstrations and machine room tours
IU researchers will demonstrate innovative applications currently running on the AVIDD facility, making use of its data management, computational, and visualization capabilities. Planned demonstrations will include chemical applications, computer science, and high energy physics. Tours of the UITS machine room in the Wrubel Computing Center will also be available.
