ROCKs Cluster drives 22-Megapixel Visualization Wall

The multi-touch enabled display is a composite of 28 projectors with a total resolution of 7168 x 3072 pixels. It supports both physical and acoustic gestures to pan and zoom data sets of arbitrary size. It is driven by a 31-node ROCKs v4.x visualization cluster. Each node is a Dell Precision 370 workstations (Intel Pentium 4 EM64T at 3.2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, HyperThreading, NVIDIA Quadro FX 3400 with 256 MB VRAM on a PCI Express x16 bus).

Given the age of the ROCKs distro and the supporting compute hardware, this display must have been in place for a number of years.
