     **********         WORKSHOP        *************

     Scientific Visualization using IBM Data Explorer

     **********         WORKSHOP        *************

          ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FOREIGN APPLICANTS


The Cornell Theory Center's Cornell National Supercomputer Facility
(CNSF) will hold a workshop December 8-10, 1992 to train
researchers and programmers in the use of IBM Data Explorer
software (DX). The goal of the workshop is to enable participants to
design scientific visualization--animated or still--with emphasis on
large 3-D scalar and vector fields.

DX allows point-and-click program design and animation, providing
an easily learned, flexible 3-D graphics environment.  DX is an
X-client which runs on the IBM RISC System/6000 (and is announced
for other workstations) as well as on the POWER Visualization System
(PVS). PVS is a visualization supercomputer designed to allow
interactive, rapid data analysis. Program design, exploration of data
sets and still image production can all be done on workstations, while
the PVS can be used for massive data sets or to produce animation.

The first two days of the workshop will offer instruction and lab time
on the Theory Center's IBM RISC System/6000 serial cluster and on
the PVS. The third day is optional time for code development, with
in-depth consulting help from Theory Center staff. Please note that
attendance on the third day is limited to ensure adequate consulting
staff and computing resources.

Topics covered by the workshop will include:

                        Morning                     Afternoon

need application data suitable for DX. The workshop will
be held in the training facility on the fourth floor of the Engineering
and Theory Center Building on Hoy Road on the Cornell University
campus in Ithaca, New York.
