What is VisIt, and where is it installed on XSEDE?

VisIt is an interactive parallel visualization and graphical analysis tool for viewing scientific data on Unix and Windows platforms. Users can quickly generate visualizations from their data, animate and manipulate them, and save the resulting images for presentations.

VisIt contains a rich set of visualization features that support the display of data in different ways. It can be used to visualize scalar and vector fields defined on two- and three-dimensional structured and unstructured meshes. VisIt was designed to handle very large data set sizes in the terascale range, but can also handle small data sets in the kilobyte range. For more, see the VisIt web site.

To find which XSEDE resources have this software (and which version) installed, use the Comprehensive Software Search on the XSEDE Software page.

  1. Make sure the first drop-down list is set to Name.

  2. Enter the application name in the text box.

  3. Click Search.

If your search returns 0 results, it may mean this software is not available on XSEDE. If you wish to use such an application, contact  help@xsede.org . If a product (e.g., Python) is installed on a resource, and you want to use a specific module associated with that product (e.g., Biopython), you may contact  help@xsede.org  to request its installation.
