From the about page:
Superconductor is a framework for creating interactive big data visualizations in the web browser. It contains two components: a JavaScript library for running visualizations in your browser, and a compiler which generates the high-performance visualization code from our simple domain specific language for describing visualizations.
Superconductor was created by Leo Meyerovich and Matthew Torok at the University of California, Berkeley’s Parallel Computing Laboratory. The ideas behind it evolved out of our research in the parallel browser project. Over the last two years, we’ve worked to apply the ideas behind that research to the task of big data visualization, and to create a polished, easy-to-use framework based around that work. Superconductor is the result.
The demos are working with 100,000 data points, interactively. Very impressive.
Available as a developer preview with the following requirements:
The developer preview of Superconductor currently only supports the following platform:
- An Apple laptop/desktop computer
- Mac OS X 10.8 (‘Mountain Lion’) or newer
- An NVIDIA (preferred) or ATI graphics chip available in your computer
Support for more platforms is a high priority, and we’re working hard to add that to Superconductor.
Suggestions of a commercially available OS X 10.8 VM for Ubuntu? 😉
