The Renaissance Computing Institute at North Carolina State University
(RENCI at NCSU) supports the use of visualization technology and analytical
methods to explore engineering, scientific, design and educational 
challenges.
In addition to assisting NC State University faculty, staff and students,
RENCI at NCSU also supports Renaissance Computing Institute initiatives 
funded by
the State of North Carolina.

RENCI at NCSU officially opened on March 23, 2007. The main facility, 
located in
Partners I Suite 1500 on NC State University's Centennial Campus, features a
14 x 8-foot visualization wall, an access grid for internet based 
conferencing
and and editing suite for producing video productions.

Recently, a visualization by the RENCI at NCSU team helped RENCI win top 
honors at
the annual meeting of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Scientific Discovery
through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program held in Seattle July 13 – 
17, 2008.
SciDAC held an Electronic Visualization and Poster night July 13 as part 
of its
2008 meeting. Fifty-two entries took part in the competition, and 10, 
including
the RENCI entry, won OASCR (for Office of Advanced Scientific Computing
Research) awards. The visualization, a Weather Research Forecast (WRF) 
model of
Hurricane Katrina, depicts the research of Gary Lackmann, an associate 
professor
in NC State’s department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and 
Megan
Gentry, a doctoral student and member of Lackmann’s research team.

Visitor's Booth to obtain a visitor's parking pass. Drive straight down
Varsity Drive, to the first stop sign, and turn right on Main Campus 
Drive, go
