The Cosmo.Lab Project: Developing AstroMD, an Object Oriented, Open Source Visualization and Pre-analysis Tool for Astrophysical Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Cosmo.Lab project, financed by the European Community, has the object of developing AstroMD, a tool of visualization and analysis of astrophysical data. AstroMD responds to the requirements proposed by several research fields: data coming from cosmological simulations, from observational catalogues and extended objects like radiosources or clusters of galaxies. AstroMD exploits also the most advanced visualization technology, based on virtual reality, in order to build a leading edge instrument for scientific research. However it is a scalable software which can be used also on PCs or workstations. It is open-source and freely downloadable from the web site http://cosmolab.cineca.it.

We present a new code allowing to evolve three-dimensional selfgravitating collisionless systems with a large number of particles N ≥ 10. FLY (Fast Level-based N-bodY code) is a fully parallel code based on a tree algorithm. It adopts periodic boundary conditions implemented by means of the Ewald summation technique. FLY is based on the one-side communication paradigm to share data among the pr...

In this paper, we present an open-source project, Visi for high-dimensional engineering and scientific data visualization. Visi is with state-of-the-art interactive user interfaces and graphics kernels based upon Qt (a cross-platform GUI toolkit) and VTK (an object-oriented visualization library). For an initialization of Visi, a preliminary window will be functioned by invoking Qt, and the ker...
