Abstract :
Visualizing terascale computing results requires considering the entire data visualization system. The systems approach presented in the paper decreases the time needed to prepare large data sets for visualization four-fold. To explore the issues of very large data sets, the paper first considers an analyst´s workflow and presents a systems engineering method to improve the workflow process. Then it presents a systems perspective of information flow with an emphasis on team environments. A case study demonstrates an application of the systems approach to improve an early production visualization system
