Computing: SGI 16-processor Graphics Server (nwvisus)
Quick Specs
- SGI Onyx 350 system
- 16 800 MHz R16000 processors
- 32 gigabytes of RAM
- 3 V12 graphics boards
The primary graphics server in EMSL's Graphics & Visualization Laboratory is code-named NWVisus. This server is comprised of a Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) Onyx 350 system with sixteen 800-MHz R16000 processors, 32 gigabytes of RAM, three graphics pipes, and 820 gigabytes of striped local disk storage.
The system contains digital audio/video output for digital audio/video streaming. The system's digital video network captures users' scientific visualization for real-time recording. The system is equipped with a 23-inch stereo display viewed using CrystalEyes technology (primary display) and two secondary displays. The system is also connected to Christie Mirage 2000 stereo video projection capability to allow for a larger display for presentations and collaborations within a larger group. Users who wish to use this system for their research may submit a proposal for use. Once the proposal is granted, Graphics & Visualization Laboratory staff can provide the training specific to the user's needs.
