Hardware for remote visualisation at the LRZ

Hardware for remote visualisation at the LRZ

As of May 2012, the LRZ operates two remote visualisation servers. The two are called gvs3 and gvs4, respectively. Those two machines are reserved for Linux-Cluster users and can be accessed from Linux-Cluster login nodes (e.g. lx64ia2.lrz-muenchen.de).

The remote visualisation servers gvs3 and gvs4 are both Sun x4600 servers with 32 CPU cores (8 quad-core Opterons) and 256 GB RAM each, running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES 11.1). Both gvs3 and gvs4 contain two Nvidia Quadro FX5800 graphics cards. Each one of the four available graphics cards has 4GB graphics RAM. (Both machines were purchased with funds from D-GRID, hence the name "grid visualisation server", gvs.)
The machines gvs3 and gvs4 are both connected to the parallel filesystem ($PROJECTS and $OPT_TMP), giving you transparent access to your data.

Both machines have a 10 GBit/s ethernet connection to the LRZ network.
