The Chemistry Visualization program at NCSA (ChemViz) is a program which uses the power of the World Wide Web in combination with the power of the SGI supercomputer to generate images of atoms, molecules, and atomic orbitals. The user inputs a set of parameters as they are prompted and submits these parameters to the supercomputer. A picture file is generated which the user downloads and views either in their Web browser or with a visualization program, NCSA Collage, available for free from this site.

To accomplish this, ChemViz has developed two web interfaces. They are the Waltz Interface to DISCO and the CSD-Search Interface.

In order to use these programs, a login and password are required. These accounts can be freely obtained by anyone interested in the project by submitting the form on the Request a ChemViz Account Page.
