"The hyperwall-2 offers a supercomputer-scale environment that is truly up to the task of visualization and exploration of the very large datasets routinely produced by NASA supercomputers and instruments," said Bryan Biegel, NAS deputy chief. "The system also will be used to get highly detailed information on how NAS supercomputers are operating, enabling staff to quickly and precisely diagnose problems or inefficiencies with the supercomputers or the software running on them."
This large display is powered by a system made of 128 graphics processing units and 1024 processor cores. This will be enough to ensure no less than 74 TeraFlops of peak processing power. The system will also deal with a high data storage capacity of 475 terabytes.
