Dr. Mark Horowitz Approved for the University Committee on Graduate Studies: iii Abstract As computer systems continue to grow rapidly in both complexity and scale, developers need tools to help them understand the behavior and performance of these systems. While information visu- alization is a promising technique, most existing computer systems visualizations have focused on very specific problems and data sources, limiting their applicability. This dissertation introduces Rivet, a general-purpose environment for the development of com- puter systems visualizations. Rivet can be used for both real-time and post-mortem analyses of data from a wide variety of sources. The modular architecture of Rivet enables sophisticated visualiza- tions to be assembled using simple building blocks representing the data, the visual representations, and the mappings between them.

  • Visual Analytics Application
    Selecting a Visual Analytics Application AUTHORS: Professor Pat Hanrahan Stanford University CTO, Tableau Software Dr. Chris Stolte VP, Engineering Tableau Software Dr. Jock Mackinlay Director, Visual Analytics Tableau Software Name Inflation: Visual Analytics Visual analytics is becoming the fastest way for people to explore and understand data of any size. Many companies took notice when Gartner cited interactive data visualization as one of the top five trends transforming business intelligence. New conferences have emerged to promote research and best practices in the area, including VAST (Visual Analytics Science & Technology), organized by the 100,000 member IEEE. Technologies based on visual analytics have moved from research into widespread use in the last five years, driven by the increased power of analytical databases and computer hardware. The IT departments of leading companies are increasingly recognizing the need for a visual analytics standard. Not surprisingly, everywhere you look, software companies are adopting the terms “visual analytics” and “interactive data visualization.” Tools that do little more than produce charts and dashboards are now laying claim to the label. How can you tell the cleverly named from the genuine? What should you look for? It’s important to know the defining characteristics of visual analytics before you shop. This paper introduces you to the seven essential elements of true visual analytics applications. Figure 1: There are seven essential elements of a visual analytics application. Does a true visual analytics application also include standard analytical features like pivot-tables, dashboards and statistics? Of course—all good analytics applications do. But none of those features captures the essence of what visual analytics is bringing to the world’s leading companies.

Stephen North (AT&T Research) Approved for the University Committee on Graduate Studies: iii Abstract Many real-world domains can be represented as large node-link graphs: backbone Internet routers connect with 70,000 other hosts, mid-sized Web servers handle between 20,000 and 200,000 hyperlinked documents, and dictionaries contain millions of words defined in terms of each other. Computational manipulation of such large graphs is common, but previous tools for graph visualization have been limited to datasets of a few thousand nodes.

(August 2012 – December 2014) Co-founder and software developer Bebop is a software-as-a-service enterprise software startup building both applications and an underlying platform to support them. Worked with other co-founders and early employees to design the overall platform architecture and to build the company. Implemented several components of the server- side platform layer and the initial deployment infrastructure for running on Google Compute Engine. By the time I left, the platform was supporting the company’s first application, which was in initial customer trials. Google acquired the company in December 2015 for $380 million. Intel Corporation (Jan. 2008 – August 2012) Senior Research Scientist, Intel Labs Led a 12-person team building prototype real-time 3D graphics systems. The team developed a prototype real-time ray-tracing game for a new hardware platform (“Larrabee”), using SW/HW co- design to deliver it months ahead of other applications. Initiated and managed the early development of the open source Embree high performance ray tracing kernels, which typically yielded at least 5x performance improvements for major ISVs compared to existing software and enabled Intel hardware to retain a strong position in ray tracing for professional graphics. Built stronger ties between Intel and academia in the areas of visual computing and parallel computing. In my last year, contributed to the design of the ispc language for high-performance SIMD programming on CPUs.
