Update Required
To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
Brock Palen and Jeff Squyres speak with Mark Miller on the Silo (wci.llnl.gov/codes/silo) storage format. Mark also works on the Visit (wci.llnl.gov/codes/visit) project which were our guests on RCE 6. Be sure to catch Jeff and Brock at SC09 this year in Portland! Mark received his Ph.D. from U.C. Davis in EE with emphasis on compression of very large datasets for real-time signal processing. I started at LLNL in May of 1995 working on I/O analysis of Silo. From there, I became involved in the ASCI Data Models and Formats effort leading the development of the Sets and Fields (SAF, pronounced 'safe') data modeling system where I also became involved in scalable, parallel I/O. Then, I moved to VisIt, adding scalable rendering as my first major enhancement. Since then, I have been working about 50-75% time on VisIt, 25% time on Silo and, more recently, on ITAPS SciDAC project. |
