CultureVis: HPC in the Humanities

By Gary Stiehr, January 13, 2009 2:28 am

CultureVis is a growing number of projects using information visualization to graph cultural patterns, relationships, and dynamics.  According to this article, they have been awarded 330,000 hours of time “to explore the full potential of cultural analytics in a project on ‘Visualizing Patterns in Databases of Cultural Images and Video.’ The grant is one of three inaugural awards from a new Humanities High Performance Computing Program established jointly by DOE and NEH.”

It is an interesting new application of HPC.  Do you know of other humanities projects utilizing HPC?
