abstract = {Exploratory visualization of physical simulations in
virtual environments greatly benefits from interactively
changing parameters with real-time feedback. The present
thesis addresses two specific research questions by problem
reformulation and implementation on the Graphics Processing
Unit's many-core architecture towards a simulation and
interaction in real-time: (1) simulating and manipulating
wireless radio networks and (2) estimating and
disambiguating neuronal fiber connectivity in the living
human brain. This works assists in the exploratory
scientific analysis by directly coupling simulation input
and output with visual feedback and natural interaction via
an interactive Virtual Reality (VR) interface. The user
becomes an integral part of the workflow in order to observe
computation results in real-time and to react appropriately.
An interactive manipulation is enabled by decomposing and
reformulating the domain specific algorithms into parallel
sub tasks. Their scalability is demonstrated in the presence
of a huge number of cores as available on current graphics
hardware. This work uses VR interfaces to put the user in
more control of the computing pipeline in order to exploit
the full potential of a human-in-the-loop to see patterns
and structures arise.},
