SARA booth at WCIT 2010.
SARA supercomputer center in The Netherlands did a major SAGE demonstration for the WCIT 2010 conference, showcasing applications developed in-house as well as by its users and guests. The theme of WCIT 2010 was Challenges of Change. Nine tracks focused on the use of IT now and in the near future, aiming to give a response to social issues such as climate change, energy saving, water management. SARA has participated in the Track Energy. In the Energy pavilion, SARA gave demonstrations on its Tiled Display Panel, a visualization setup with very high resolution. SARA focused on projects that related to Greening by IT; i.e., working on sustainability by deploying IT. On top of static images, SARA ran movies and applications, using SAGE to maximize various windows when they wanted the audience to focus on that particular content. EVL provided tech support prior to the event.
