Computing

A cluster is a group of computers which are linked together and work in parallel to draw high resolution visual imagery. Clusters can also be used in numerical computation applications due to the incredible processing power of today's off-the-shelf PC graphics cards.

Organizations who are installing an advanced display or numerical computation system, or want to update their current image generator, should consider a Mechdyne visualization cluster. We can provide just the cluster and software or a complete turnkey visualization system, including audio visual (AV) and support services.
 

graphics clusters configured to your requirements

We have designed and delivered the world's two largest PC-based (dual boot Windows and Linux) graphics visualization clusters, both 96 graphics channels, to drive the 100 million pixel C6 immersive rooms at Iowa State's Virtual Reality Applications Center and the Cornea at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.

Mechdyne's Proficiency

• Continuous testing of the latest graphics card technology 
• Extensive experience with graphics genlock required to synchronize the video refresh rates for providing stereo across multiple projectors and eliminate "tearing" of the images across the seams of the display 
• Over two decades of 'hands-on' experience with the integration of the world's most advanced visualization solutions 
• Quality, commercial, off-the-shelf components and software to ensure years of easy maintenance and administration 
• Specification, configuration, and integration of each visualization cluster's operating system and any Mechdyne software and drivers 
• Pre-staging and testing of all clusters prior to installation and integration with visual systems 

System Configurations

• A single PC to drive a single or dual projector or flat panel display 
• Quadro® Plex graphics for multi-channel displays 
• Multi-channel graphics for immersive systems such as CAVEs, FLEXs, PowerWalls or tiled Hi-PowerWall systems. 
• Support for monoscopic, passive/polarized stereo and active-stereo 3D displays 
• Support for numerical computation clusters
