The Scientific Development and Visualization Laboratory (SDVL) recently purchased a SunFire V440 Visualization/Computation Server. It is a 4-processor shared memory system with 16 GB of memory. Each processor is a 1.28GHz UltraSPARC IIIi processor. The system has a Sun XVR-1200 graphics accelerator for high-quality visualization. The system will help users to run large memory visualizations applications interactively. The resource will especially benefit researchers working in areas of computational fluid dynamics and other engineering disciplines.

The SDVL also purchased a 3D LCD display called True View MkIII from Ampronix Inc. This 19" display allows glasses-free real-time viewing of 3D images. The display is attached to a dual 3.2 GHz processor workstation with NVIdia Quadro FX 3400 graphics and runs Windows XP. The technology will assist researchers in visualizing volumetric data from various fields in medicine, engineering, seismology, geochemistry, atmospheric research, fluid dynamics and molecular structures. The system is located in 585 Walter library.
