Systems like the NAS hyperwall can help researchers visualize their data at large scale, across different viewpoints or using different parameters for new ways of analysis. The improved resolution of the new system will help researchers \u201czoom in\u201d with greater detail.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The hyperwall is just one way researchers can utilize NASA\u2019s high-end computing technology to better understand their data. The NAS facility offers world-class supercomputing resources and services customized to meet the needs of about 1,500 users from NASA centers, academia and industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
