Graphics & Visualization Laboratory
The Graphics and Visualization Laboratory (GVL) provides production graphics and visualization facilities for the display and analysis of complex data sets from both experiments and simulations. The GVL contains four high-performance graphics stations based on SGI technologies with high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connections to the production supercomputers and to the EMSL archive system in the Molecular Science Computing Facility, a digital video system integrated with the workstations to facilitate the display and capture of scientific data, and digital video editing equipment for the preparation of scientific presentations. The video system also is connected to the EMSL auditorium as well as to the World Wide Web to facilitate internet conferencing. An IBM SGE is connected to the MSCF Dell Linux Cluster for the highest performance visualization capabilities.
