  1. Visualization at KTH Lennart Johnsson Professor CSC Director, PDC

  2. Visualization at KTH • Courses • Presentation facility • Integrated into applications • Visualization research • Augmented reality – haptics • Collaboration

  3. Course setup • 15 - 20 graphics workstations, half replaced every year with state-of-the-art graphics cards • Small graphics cluster, 4 – 8 nodes • Small display wall, 3x4 4 Mpixel LCD display • Software: • Support: 0.25 – 0.5 FTE

  4. Course setup Hardware cost: ~1 Mkr (~0.5Mkr/yr) Software: 0.5 – 1 Mkr (~0.2Mkr/yr) Staff: 0.2 – 0.4 Mkr/yr Space: 0.15 Mkr/yr Total: ~1.2Mkr/yr

  5. Presentation Facility 50 seat auditorium • Two 8 Mpixel projectors, stereo • Four graphics workstations each with • dual-core dual socket Opterons with 1GHz HT bus • 4+ GB of memory • Dual nVidia Quadro FX 4500 512MB cards • Audio

  6. Presentation Facility 50 seat auditorium • Hardware cost: ~3Mkr • Software: 1 – 2 Mkr • Support: 0.25 – 0.5 FTE • Space: 0.4 Mkr/yr • Total: ~2.5Mkr/yr • Plus potentially shared rendering and simulation resources for large scale applications

  7. Visualization integrated into applications Distributed Visualization • A small display facility for each application group • 2x3 or 3x4 display wall • 1 or 2 graphics workstations • Shared/central simulation, rendering and data management facility • Min 20 – 30 node cluster, hundreds of nodes or more for rendering of HD movies • Software: • High-Speed networking: 10 GigE

  8. Visualization integrated into applications Distributed Visualization Local setup cost: 150 – 250kkr Shared setup: 750kkr – 30,000kkr Software: Infrastructure/space: 15%-20%/yr for shared setup Support: 0.1FTE/local setup 1+ FTE central 10 groups: 300+kkr/yr/group + Softw.

  9. Visualization Research • Large scale ….. • 100+ Mpixels • Volume rendering of large data sets • Find data of interest/navigate/mine/ … • large data sets ………..
