High-Throughput Characterization of Porous Materials Using Graphics Processing Units
We have developed a high-throughput graphics processing units (GPU) code that can characterize a large database of crystalline porous materials. In our algorithm, the GPU is utilized to accelerate energy grid calculations where the grid values represent interactions (i.e., Lennard-Jones + Coulomb potentials) between gas molecules (i.e., CH and CO) and material's framework atoms. Using a parallel flood fill CPU algorithm, inaccessible regions inside the framework structures are identified and blocked based on their energy profiles. Finally, we compute the Henry coefficients and heats of adsorption through statistical Widom insertion Monte Carlo moves in the domain restricted to the accessible space. The code offers significant speedup over a single core CPU code and allows us to characterize a set of porous materials at least an order of magnitude larger than ones considered in earlier studies. For structures selected from such a prescreening algorithm, full adsorption isotherms can be calculated by conducting multiple grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations concurrently within the GPU
Linking Automated Data Analysis and Visualization with Applications in Developmental Biology and High-energy Physics
Knowledge discovery from large and complex collections of todayâs scientific datasets is a challenging task. With the ability to measure and simulate more processes at increasingly finer spatial and temporal scales, the increasing number of data dimensions and data objects is presenting tremendous challenges for data analysis and effective data exploration methods and tools. Researchers are overwhelmed with data and standard tools are often insufficient to enable effective data analysis and knowledge discovery. The main objective of this thesis is to provide important new capabilities to accelerate scientific knowledge discovery form large, complex, and multivariate scientific data. The research covered in this thesis addresses these scientific challenges using a combination of scientific visualization, information visualization, automated data analysis, and other enabling technologies, such as efficient data management. The effectiveness of the proposed analysis methods is demonstrated via applications in two distinct scientific research fields, namely developmental biology and high-energy physics. Advances in microscopy, image analysis, and embryo registration enable for the first time measurement of gene expression at cellular resolution for entire organisms. Analysis of highdimensional spatial gene expression datasets is a challenging task. By integrating data clustering and visualization, analysis of complex, time-varying, spatial gene expression patterns and their formation becomes possible. The analysis framework MATLAB and the visualization have been integrated, making advanced analysis tools accessible to biologist and enabling bioinformatic researchers to directly integrate their analysis with the visualization. Laser wakefield particle accelerators (LWFAs) promise to be a new compact source of highenergy particles and radiation, with wide applications ranging from medicine to physics. To gain insight into the complex physical processes of particle acceleration, physicists model LWFAs computationally. The datasets produced by LWFA simulations are (i) extremely large, (ii) of varying spatial and temporal resolution, (iii) heterogeneous, and (iv) high-dimensional, making analysis and knowledge discovery from complex LWFA simulation data a challenging task. To address these challenges this thesis describes the integration of the visualization system VisIt and the state-of-the-art index/query system FastBit, enabling interactive visual exploration of extremely large three-dimensional particle datasets. Researchers are especially interested in beams of high-energy particles formed during the course of a simulation. This thesis describes novel methods for automatic detection and analysis of particle beams enabling a more accurate and efficient data analysis process. By integrating these automated analysis methods with visualization, this research enables more accurate, efficient, and effective analysis of LWFA simulation data than previously possible.Die Analyse komplexer wissenschaftlicher Daten ist eine zentrale Herausforderung in der heutigen Forschung. Komplizierte VorgĂ€nge können immer detaillierter gemessen und simuliert werden. Dies fĂhrt dazu, dass aktuelle wissenschaftliche DatensĂ€tze Informationen ĂŒber immer mehr Datendimensionen und Datenobjekte enthalten. Wissenschaftler werden ĂŒberwĂ€ltigt mit Daten, und herkömmliche Analyseverfahren sind oft nicht ausreichend um eine effektive Analyse der vorhandenen Daten zu ermöglichen. Das Hauptziel dieser Dissertation ist es, wichtige neue Methoden zu entwickeln um den effizienten Gewinn von Wissen von groĂen, komplexen, multivariaten wissenschaftlichen Daten zu ermöglichen. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, verwendet diese Arbeit eine Kombination aus Visualisierung,Datenanalyse, und anderen grundlegenden Technologien (zum Beispiel Verfahren zum Management von groĂen Daten). Die EffektivitĂ€t der vorgeschlagenen Methoden wird demonstriert anhand zweier unterschiedlicher Applikationen aus der Entwicklungsbiologie und der Hochenergiephysik. Fortschritte in der Mikroskopie, Bildanalyse, und Verfahren zur Registrierung von Embryonen ermöglichen zum ersten Mal die Messung von Genexpression mit zellulĂ€rer Auflösung fĂŒr vollstĂ€ndige Organismen. RĂ€umliche Genexpressionsdaten sind hochdimensional, wobei die verschiedenen Gene durch komplexe Prozesse miteinander in Verbindung stehen. Die Analyse dieser hochkomplexen Daten ist schwierig. Durch die Integration von Clustering und modernen Visualisierungsverfahren ermöglicht diese Forschungsarbeit die Analyse von komplexen, rĂ€umlichen und sich zeitlich verĂ€ndernden Genexpressionsmustern sowie deren Beziehungen zueinander. Mittels der Integration von MATLAB, einem fortgeschrittenen System zur Datenanalyse, mit der Visualisierung ermöglicht diese Forschungsarbeit Biologen den Zugriff auf fortgeschrittenen Analyseverfahren. Plasmabasierte Kielfeld-Beschleuniger ermöglichen die Erzeugung von hochenergetischen Partikeln in sehr kurzer Distanz und versprechen in Zukunft die Möglichkeit des Baus von wesentlich kompakteren Partikelbeschleunigern, die Anwendung in der Medizin wie auch in der Physik finden können. RechnergestĂŒtzte Simulationen werden verwendet, um ein besseres VerstĂ€ndniss der komplizierten physikalischen VorgĂ€nge zu erlangen. Die resultierenden Simulationsdaten sind (i) extrem groĂ, (ii) haben unterschiedliche zeitliche und rĂ€umliche Auflösung, (iii) sind heterogen und (iv) hochdimensional. Die Analyse solcher hochkomplexen Daten ist kompliziert. Durch die Integration des Visualisierungssystems VisIt mit dem Datenmanagementsystem FastBit ermöglicht diese Forschungsarbeit die interaktive visuelle Analyse von extrem groĂen dreidimensionalen Simulationsdaten. Im Rahmen der Datenanalyse sind hier insbesondere charakteristische, hochenergetische PartikelbĂŒndel, die wĂ€hrend der Simulation geformt werden, von Interesse. Um einen effizienten Datenanalyseprozess zu ermöglichen, wurden im Rahmen dieser Dissertation verschiedene Verfahren zur automatischen Detektion und Analyse von Partikelstrahlen entwickelt. Die Integration dieser automatischen Verfahren mit der Visualisierung ermöglicht die genaue, effiziente, und effektive Analyse von Simulationsdaten von Kielfeld-Beschleunigern

Distributed Hierarchical Contour Trees
Contour trees are a significant tool for data analysis as they capture both local and global variation. However, their utility has been limited by scalability, in particular for distributed computation and storage. We report a distributed data structure for storing the contour tree of a data set distributed on a cluster, based on a fan-in hierarchy, and an algorithm for computing it based on the boundary tree that represents only the superarcs of a contour tree that involve contours that cross boundaries between blocks. This allows us to limit the communication cost for contour tree computation to the complexity of the block boundaries rather than of the entire data set
