Speaker: Paul Navrátil, PhD, Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), University of Texas

Dr. Navrátil discusses the state-of-the-art and near-term trends driving HPC application development efforts in preparation for the massive scale of data and computation in the exascale era. He reviews the ongoing efforts of the SOLAR Ray Tracing Consortium to use ray tracing for compute and the role of the emerging Khronos* ANARI* API, the necessary merging of compute and visualization workflows (also known as In-situ), plus advances in color theory enabling scientists to extract more detail during visual analysis.
