Visualization and Knowledge Discovery: Report from the DOE/ASCR Workshop on Visual Analysis and Data Exploration at Extreme Scale
The developed visualization and data exploration tools have served admirably with gigabyte and even terabyte datasets, but at the peta- and exascale levels, those tools will no longer suffice.  Scientists and researchers met under the auspices of ASCR in Salt Lake City on June 7-8, 2007 to discuss the coming "data tsunami" and issues involved in data exploration, data understanding, and data visualization at the petascale and beyond.
