<slide introducing hardware/softwarefor supercomputing>

Jupiter: SUN 4 Quad-Core AMD Opteron 2.3GHz

with 128GB RAM (to be expanded to 8 Quad-Core AMD Opteron 2.3GHzwith 256GB RAM)

CUDA Cluster: Homogeneous 30–nodecluster with newest AMD processorsand nVidia graphics cards.

Xgrid: Software to turn a heterogeneousgroup of computers into a clusterusing Mac OS X Server.

<look for pics>

Objective: High resolution visualization

High resolution visualization of the M1 catalyst (MoVTeNb-oxide)under a FEI XL30 environmental scanning electron microscope

Data: Low resolution time-series projections

The trick: Super-resolution
