Service bwVisu

Visualization and interactive processing of data in research and education

The web-based service bwVisu enables the user-friendly execution of interactive and graphical applications on the powerful hardware of the supercomputer bwForCluster Helix for the processing of scientific data stored in bwForCluster Helix and in the storage service SDS@hd. A list of available applications can be found in the bwVisu Wiki. bwVisu can also be used for courses and workshops.
