Scientific computing is no longer be purely about how fast computations can be performed. Energy constraints, processor changes, and I/0 limitations necessitate significant changes in both the software applications used in scientific computation and the ways in which scientists use them. Components for modeling, simulation, analysis, and visualization must work together in a computational ecosystem, rather than working independently as they have in the past. The XVis project provides the necessary research and infrastructure for scientific discovery in this new computational ecosystem by addressing four interlocking challenges: emerging processor technology, in situ integration, usability, and proxy analysis. This report reviews the accomplishments of the XVis project to prepare scientific visualization for Exascale computing.
