Welcome
Collaviz is an innovative multi-domain remote collaborative platform for the simulation-based design applications.
The major value brought by Collaviz to the scientific and industrial community is to make remote analysis and collaboration easily available and scalable. Web-based technologies, on the top of shared high-performance computing and visualization centers, will permit researchers and engineers handling very large data sets, including 3D data models, by using a single workstation, wherever in the world. Just a “standard” internet connexion will be needed.
The classical approach is not adapted anymore: simulation-based design applications tend to generate Terabytes and even Petabytes of data and:
- The (worldwide) networks are still not strong enough (10 Gb/s -and soon 40 Gb/s- is the infrastructure’s backbone but 10Mb/s or less are the common daily network of users), to transfer back these data from centralized supercomputer centers where the data are computed to the local client for processing,
- Even with multi-core technologies, researchers’ and engineers’ local computing resources are not suited to treat this kind of volume of data anymore.
Collaviz proposes a smart solution to break the bottlenecks of data volume production and processing that the industry will quickly face.
The present forge hosts the developments done in the frame of the project, including:
- Source codes
- Specifications and technical documentation
- Results and experimentation
The forge will also offer a collaborative support to the Colliviz community.
