Sensor Data Bus
Overview The wealth of data available from sensors, satellites, and Internet services has created a glut of information that is often too vast for a researcher to adequately capture or comprehend in a simplistic data model. Multidisciplinary research that uses environmental data—such as research on the impacts of climate change—requires scientists to be able to […]

Secure Research Space: Security for a world of distributed data
Overview The Carolina Data Warehouse for Health (CDW-H) houses clinical health records for all UNC Hospitals patients. These records are a valuable source of data for researchers. In addition to enabling access for legitimate healthcare and research purposes, the CDW-H must protect against loss of these records to ensure patient privacy and security. RENCI’s Role […]

Polymer Modeling
Overview Melissa Pasquinelli, a textile researcher and assistant professor in the College of Textiles at NC State University, uses computer simulations of polymers to figure out new ways to take advantage of polymers’ unique properties to make advanced materials. Pasquinelli teamed with RENCI visualization and data software development specialist Sidharth Thakur to develop a suite […]

Visualize Particulate Matter
Overview Fine particles—such as pollen, dust, ash and pollutants—are constantly whirling through the air we breathe. But which particles are harmful, and in what concentrations? Government agencies responsible for safeguarding the health of humans and the environment must set emission standards and other regulations based on what they know about the properties of fine particles […]

WRF with Google Earth
Overview The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is a mesoscale numerical weather prediction system designed to serve both forecasting and atmospheric research needs. In order to produce high-resolution forecasts for North Carolina, RENCI ran WRF at 12km and 4km (or 1.3km for special cases) resolution twice a day to produce a 36 hour forecast. With […]

Voluminous
Voluminous: Volume Visualization Tool Authors: David Borland. Visualization lead Jeffrey L. Tilson. Scientific application lead Installers and example data download at: https://code.renci.org/gf/project/voluminous/frs/ Description Voluminous is a tool developed to assist in the visualization of volumetric scalar fields and in particular for finding and emphasizing locations in the field that separate positive and negative regions. It was […]

UNC Network Vis
Overview This image is a graph-based network visualization consisting of traffic from UNC department subnets to external machine connections. The graph is placed in three dimensions using a gravity model where each edge provides an attractive force and each node provides a repelling force. This can be used to variably weight nodes in the graph […]

UNC Worldwide Grants
Overview Understanding the worldwide impact of grants at a Research I institute can be challenging. UNC has been tracking its grant awards, and is gradually building up a historical database of grants that spans decades. However, a database is merely that–a collection of data. The university sought a closer look at where grant money was […]

Supernovas
Overview Supernovas are dying stars that explode, causing a sudden burst of radiation that can briefly outshine an entire galaxy, before fading after several weeks or months. Astrophysicists theorize that as the iron core of a star cools and runs short on fuel, a shockwave of energy ripples back through the star and it explodes. […]

Storm Surge
Overview Natural disasters such as hurricanes heavily impact the United States’ East and Gulf coasts. This creates the need for large-scale modeling in the areas of meteorology and ocean sciences, coupled with an integrated environment for analysis and information dissemination. In turn, there is an increased need for large-scale, distributed, high-performance resources and data environments. […]
