The SciDAC Ultra-Scale Visualization Institute, established on September 15, 2006, is a 5-year research and outreach effort sponsored by the DOE SciDAC program.  Its mission is to address the upcoming peta-scale visualization challenges facing computational science and engineering.  The Institute will foster the exchange of knowledge between universities, DOE laboratories, and industry to make advanced visualization an integrated component in scientific discovery.  The Institute will revolutionize the very process of scientific discovery by equipping scientists with tools that shed light on the knowledge hidden in previously incomprehensible datasets.
