By the Numbers: - Number of tiles: 50 (fully supported in networked configuration) - Display resolution: 25,600 x 8,000 pixels, 204,800,000 pixels total - Number of display nodes: 25 - Control and development nodes: 3
Hardware: - 11 Dual 2.5GHz Power Mac G5’s with nVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL - 17 Dual 2.7GHz Power Mac G5’s with nVIDIA Quadro FX4500s - 56 Apple 30” Cinema Displays
Those are the specs for the HiperWall at UC Irvine. This wall is at UC San Diego and is now part of HiperSpace (which includes the HiperWall at UCI).
It consist of 55 (11x5) Dell 30 LCDs, powered by 15 Dell XPS 720 machines with 2.6 GHz Core 2 Quad, 4 GB RAM, and 2 Quadro FX 5600 video cards (each with 1.5 GB video ram).
There are plans to extend the wall to 75 monitors.
Also we are using Rocks Linux on this display wall ( http://www.rocksclusters.org ). It's a special distribution of Linux developed by the San Diego Supercomputing Center for cluster computing.
