SC2006 is the International Conference for high performance computing networking and storage. The theme, "Powerful Beyond Imagination," for SC2006 will showcase how high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis lead to advances in research, education and commerce. ResearchChannel will be participating as an exhibitor at SC2006.

Visualization and Collaboration: The Research Environment of the Future

Demonstrations: Global, Collaborative HD Videoconferencing and OptIPortal Visualization

Research and technology come together in this year’s demonstration. The latest high-definition communication tools allow researchers from around the globe to work together, whether it’s to discuss their work or show research findings in incredible detail so that they can see, analyze and correlate data. From the University of Washington campus, oceanography professor Deborah Kelley will give a lecture in high definition to an audience in the booth. The University of Michigan’s School of Information and Medical School will show high-definition research video and images on the OptIPortal, a remarkable tool that allows scientists to conduct large-scale, application-driven e-science experiments. And NTT Labs will demonstrate its very low latency hardware system, i-Visto, which will run ResearchChannel’s proprietary iHDTV™ technology.
