Abstract:         When accessing large data sets from disk during interaction, performance is highly sensitive to the spatial coherence of the data layout 

and is improved by the use of hierarchical space-filling curves. Professor Joy will review the use of these space-filling curves in massive data visualization applications. Hilbert curves can be applied to applications based on quadtrees and octrees; Sierpinski curves arise naturally in applications that utilize triangle bintrees; and Z-order curves can be used in a variety of applications where fast disk access is necessary. The presentation illustrates the use of these curves in visualizing massive isosurface data. 

 

Bio:                  Professor Joy is a founding member of the UC Davis Computer Science department, and specializes in visualization, geometric 

                        modeling and computer graphics. He is co-director of the campus's Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization and has collaborated on

                        more than 50 publications during the past three years. Joy is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery, the IEEE Computer

                        Society, and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. He also is a guest researcher at the Center for Applied Scientific

                        Computing at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
