January 2017 - The HPCCloud development team is pleased to introduce HPCCloud 0.9!

HPCCloud is Kitware’s latest open-source tool, a web-based simulation environment to design and develop and end-to-end simulation workflow from HPC resources. With this tool, you can create a cluster using a cloud provider such as Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud, and tailor it to a particular simulation workflow in term of size, specification and software provisioned.

One of HPCCloud’s main strengths is its free of charge maintenance cost, since the cluster clouds   can be shut down as soon as the workflow is complete.

HPCCloud comes with a couple of built-in workflows and can visualize the results with ParaViewWeb. HPCCloud simplifies the addition of new simulation workflows to support a wide range of domains and applications.

To get started using HPCCloud 0.9, go to https://github.com/Kitware/HPCCloud.

September 4, 2014 - Kitware - New in ParaView : Histogram View

Newly added to ParaView (and slated to be included in the upcoming ParaView 4.2 release) is a brand new Histogram View. Histograms are nothing new to ParaView. Using the Histogram filter and plotting the results in a Bar Chart View, you could always look at histograms for data arrays. What was lacking was the ability to then select bins in this histogram and see which data elements those corresponded to.

To support this, we added a new Histogram View. You can show any arbitrary dataset, without the need for apply the Histogram filter in this view. The view will automatically show the histogram for the selected data array (which you can select using the Properties panel). These histogram parameters are now available under the Display section.

Using the selection buttons at the top of the view (or the S key), you can enter selection mode and then click-and-drag to select bins in this view. The selection should then reflect in all other views showing the same dataset including Render View, Plot Matrix View, Parallel Coordinates View, and SpreadSheet View.
