Abstract

This paper presents the VELaSSCo project (Visualization for Extremely LArge-Scale Scientific Computing). It aims to develop a platform to manipulate scientific data used by FEM (Finite Element Method) and DEM (Discrete Element Method) simulations. The project focuses on the development of a distributed, heterogeneous and high-performance platform, enabling the scientific communities to store, process and visualize huge amounts of data. The platform is compatible with current hardware capabilities, as well as future hardware.
