SpinView: General Interactive Visual Analysis Tool for Multiscale Computational Magnetism

Abstract

Multiscale magnetic simulations, including micromagnetic and atomistic spin dynamics simulations, are widely used in the study of complex magnetic systems over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. The advances in these simulation technologies have generated considerable amounts of data. However, a versatile and general tool for visualization, filtering, and denoising this data is largely lacking. To overcome these limitations, we have developed SpinView, a general interactive visual analysis tool for graphical exploration and data distillation. Combined with dynamic filters and a built-in database, it is possible to generate reproducible publication-quality images, videos, or portable interactive webpages within seconds. Since the basic input to SpinView is a vector field, it can be directly integrated with any spin dynamics simulation tool. With minimal effort on the part of the user, SpinView delivers a simplified workflow, speeds up analysis of complex datasets and trajectories, and enables new types of analysis and insight.
