Information Visualization Brings Data into Sharper Focus
|
| | Analyzing greater volumes at improved resolution that allows access for all levels
Michael Freedman
Data mining is an information extraction activity that seeks to discover hidden facts contained in large relational databases. However, reports generated from a data mining project may be difficult for non-technical users to understand. These reports are typically summarized to make them more easily understood. However, this means that they often omit important information that might be actionable by business users ...continue

| | A zero-to-sixty look at pivotal growth areas
Phil Fraher
As more companies take advantage of high performance computing (HPC), two trends are emerging: visualization and the evolution of 64-bit software. Following is an overview of why visualization will be a necessary next step for data analysis, and software will need to evolve to support increasing power demands. Most companies still rely on historical data to help them make the right business decisions. Technically, historical review is the first of four data analysis frontiers, followed by visualization, predictive analytics ...continue

| | Hayden Planetarium achieves high-quality visualization with commodity hardware
Suzanne Tracy, Editor in Chief
Seeing the night sky in upper Manhattan can be a challenge. However, for more than 70 years, the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History has provided one of the world's best views of the observable universe. In 2000, the Museum opened the Rose Center for Earth and Space, which was constructed over the footprint of the former Hayden Planetarium. One of the nation's premier institutions for research and public education now had an astrophysics department, and the Hayden Sphere became the centerpiece of a monumental new 120-foot-high, 333,500-square-foot exhibition, research and education facility ...continue
