RawVis: A System for Efficient In-situ Visual Analytics

Summary: RawVis, an open-source system, enables in-situ visual analytics on huge raw data without preprocessing or loading into a DB. Novel indexing schemes and adaptive processing allow direct operations on data files with real-time interactivity on commodity hardware. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
