In the actual Peta-scale era, simulations are being run in thousand of nodes, and so the results are being generated in a distributed way. Analyzing and visualizing these result is becoming a challenge, and more so in the next-to-come Exa-scale era. On the other hand scientists also need to analyze thousand of simulations which are not always centralized.

VELaSSCo brings Big Data expertise into the computer simulation field in order to better manipulate and analyze distributed simulation results to be visualized by the engineer specific visualization clients and tools, like GiD or iFX.
