Visualization Theater
The Center for Advanced Computing and Data Science Visualization Theater features seating for 30 people and a 16’x9′ screen supporting 4K digital cinema resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 and both active and passive stereo 3D modes. The system is powered by an upgraded dual boot Linux/Windows workstation with 64 GB RAM and dual Intel Xeon Haswell processors (E5-2618L v3), 8 cores each at 2.3 GHz, and 2 TB of local storage. Two AMD v8800 graphics cards drive two Sony SRX-S105 projectors with polarizing shutter filters at 4096 x 2160 pixels. The system is controlled by a RGB Spectrum MediaWall 4500 processor with 24 inputs and 12 outputs. The video processor provides digital and analog video inputs for TV/DVD/laptop computers. The workstation is compatible with most digital video formats. The room is also equipped with 7.1 surround sound.
Software
Compilers: We have the latest GNU and Intel C/C++/Fortran compiler and PGI compiler suites, as well as Nvidia’s CUDA compiler for GPU computing. We also maintain compilers for other languages as requested including Java.
Programming environments: We maintain several versions of Python, Matlab, and R, as well as several other languages and environments. These environments include many commonly used third-party libraries and packages.
Data-processing tools: These include programs for dealing with large-scale data formats, like HDF5 and NetCDF.
Numerical libraries: These include Intel’s Math Kernel Library (MKL), a set of highly tuned linear algebra routines; the GNU Scientific Library (GSL); FFTW Fourier transform library; and others.
Community codes: We have a large number of commonly-used scientific software packages including codes for molecular dynamics, such as LAMMPS and NAMD; and visualization, such as ParaView; and many more.
Training and Workshops
We provide trainings and workshops to learn about more advanced features and capabilities of our high performances computers and software. Courses are offered through the HPE DSI.
