Eureka / Gadzooks Guide

Researchers often analyze the huge data sets generated on Intrepid by converting it into visual representations on ALCF's Eureka, a system featuring a large installation of NVIDIA Quadro Plex S4 external graphics processing unit (GPUs). 

The ALCF also operates Gadzooks, a visualization test and deployment system.
