Visualization Server

Additionally to our supercomputers "blizzard" and "tornado", the DKRZ also provides a visualization cluster called "halo". The system is designed for an interactive 3D visualization and analysis of large model data.

In the following, you find information about:

The visualization cluster "halo" itself
How to get an account for "halo" to work with the system
How to perform a reservation for a VIZ node and how to log on to the system
How the remote 3D Rendering system works and what requirements are needed
Which filesystems are available and where to store your data, as well as
What software is installed on "halo" for post-processing and 3D visualization.

	Vis Cluster "halo": Technical description of halo's hardware and network systems.		Account: How to get an account for Halo?
	Reservation System: Using a reservation system, one can reserve a VIZ node for a specific time.		Remote3D Rendering: Using a TurboVNC/VirtualGL based remote rendering technique, one can log on and use the visualization cluster from virtually anywhere.
	Filesystems: The filesystems that are available and the quota on these.		Software: The available software for pre- and post processing, as well as vor visualization and image/video editing.
