When the power of our desktop workstations is not adequate to properly
view and manipulate the molecules we study, we must use larger systems
with additional memory, processing power, video, and input devices. Our
primary visualization workstations are a Sun Ultra 40 workstation featuring
nVidia Quadro FX 5800 graphics and 32 gigabytes of memory and Supermicro
workstations featuring nVidia Quadro FX 5800 graphics and 48 or 72 gigabytes of memory;
equipped with stereo emitters, dual monitors or a 30" display, and SpaceNavigator input devices
for the best user experience; one of these also runs our
3D projection facility
.
We also have additional Sun Ultra 40s, Supermicro workstations, and
an Apple Mac Pro available for public visualization
use. The full list is available
