Kelly Gaither is the Director of Data Information & Analysis at the University of Texas, Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), and was present in the Dell Booth at SC10 last year touting the impact of visualization in HPC. HPCatDell has an interview with her on YouTube.
“In the visualization, we are exploiting what our brain does every day,” she says, adding that the technology and people who harness it are assisting in curing cancer, understanding how aircraft fly and helping scientists predict hurricanes. One collaboration project, the Longhorn Project, has deployed the largest, remote, interactive visualization cluster in the world.
She was in the Dell Booth as TACC runs some rather large Dell clusters. I’ve known her for several years and heard her speak many times at several events, and she really is a driving force in the HPC visualization space, both for her impact on dealing with large data and parallel systems, and for her development of large “superdisplays” comprised of large tiled displays.
