New Visualization Partition now available on Biowulf
Date: 02 March 2021 12:03:44From: David Godlove
The NIH HPC staff has created a visualization partition that enables applications with GPU-accelerated graphics to run directly on Biowulf. You can use this partition to visualize large data sets, manipulate the visualizations responsively on Biowulf, or create publication quality figures, for example. Applications that may benefit from using GPU resources within the visualization partition include but are not limited to biomedical imaging and molecular modeling programs. For instance: - AFNI / SUMA - FSL / FSLeyes - VMD - ChimeraX - Schrödinger - Connectome Workbench How it works: The visualization partition is composed of K20x GPU nodes. In contrast with other system resources, these nodes are allocated in their entirety to one user at a time. Walltime limits are kept low since these resources are limited. To use the GPU hardware within the compute node, you will need to use TurboVNC and follow the procedure at https://hpc.nih.gov/docs/svis.html Please direct questions or comments to staff@hpc.nih.gov.
