SAVE THE DATE: SAGE Meeting at SC14 – Introducing SAGE2

For those attending SC14 in New Orleans, Louisiana, we will hold the annual “Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment (SAGE) for Global Collaboration” Birds of a Feather (BOF):

We will introduce SAGE2™, the next-generation SAGE™, in addition to providing SAGE updates. SAGE2 is browser-based and integrates cloud services, a multi-resolution image viewer, a stereoscopic image viewer, mirrored portals, and network streaming of high-resolution imagery. Like SAGE middleware, SAGE2 is a software framework that enables local and remote collaboration on scalable resolution display walls (from single monitors to a wall of tiled displays) by sharing diverse media content, including 2D and 3D visualizations and applications. One major benefit of browser-based software is that there is no installation requirement for users and it is inherently cross-platform. A user simply needs an up-to-date web browser on the device he/she wishes to use as an interaction tool for the wall. SAGE2 services are essentially brought to the user through the Cloud …continue reading

SAGE BIRDS OF A FEATHER (BOF): Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment (SAGE) for Global Collaboration

Tuesday, November 19, 2013, 12:15PM – 01:15PM
Colorado Convention Center, Rooms 501/502

SAGE, the Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment, receives major funding from the National Science Foundation to provide the scientific community with persistent visualization and collaboration services for global cyberinfrastructure. SAGE is a widely used open-source platform and the defacto operating system, or framework, for managing “big data” content on scalable-resolution tiled display walls. The SC BOF provides an unparalleled opportunity for the global SAGE user community, and potential users, to meet, review current development efforts, share community-developed use cases and applications, and have dynamic discussions on user requirements and future roadmaps …continue reading

Advanced Software and Global Networks Stream 4K 3D Digital Movies from Poland to the U.S.

July 8, 2013

On June 25, 2013, in a special demonstration for the first annual US Ignite Application Summit held in Chicago in the U.S., computer scientists from Poland’s Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) streamed ultra-high-resolution 3D movies over high-performance optical networks to the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). These films were “4K” resolution, a digital cinema standard that is slightly more than four times the resolution of high-definition television (HDTV) …continue reading

OCTOBER 16, 2012

On October 11th, 2012, at the 12th Annual Global LambdaGrid Workshop in Chicago, sponsored by the Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF), an international ultra-high-definition, high-performance, digital streaming application was showcased by researchers at the SITOLA laboratory at Masaryk University in the Czech Republic. To elevate digital media resolution to match the capabilities of human vision, which traditional media does not, 8K digital media (ultra-high-definition video with 16 times the resolution of common Full-HD video) was demonstrated. The size of these data streams is much higher than those that can be supported by today’s networks …continue reading

New UIC ‘Cyber-Commons’ Wall Pops with 3-D Imagery

November 9, 2011

Seamlessly-tiled LCD flat-screen displays stretching floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Electronic Visualization Laboratory “Cyber-Commons” has served as a digitally-enhanced way to display, manipulate and exchange information and images since its opening in 2009. On November 11, EVL demonstrates Cyber-Commons’ latest enhancement – three-dimensional imagery, displayed along with traditional 2-D images.

“It’s a very powerful way to communicate ideas,” said Jason Leigh, UIC-EVL director and professor of computer science. “It lets people work together, make sense of lots of information and hopefully derive insights quicker. We’ve found it changes the way students work together.” …continue reading
