Title: Introduction to VisIt: a parallel visualization and data analysis tool

ABSTRACT
--------

VisIt is an open source, richly-featured, parallel scientific
visualization and data analysis application. VisIt was developed at Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory to visualize some of the largest computer
simulations ever run. VisIt employs a client-server architecture to visualize
remote data on a local client using a remote parallel server. VisIt
incorporates various visualization techniques as well as support for
many different file formats through its use of plugins. In addition,
VisIt provides sophisticated data manipulation and queries, allowing
users to isolate important features in their data. This talk
introduces VisIt and presents a broad sample of its capabilities
before concluding with a high-level view of VisIt's implementation.
