Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Hi, I'm new to the AWIPS II jihad so I beg tolerance for the infidel. Is there a model for the CAVE client implementation in the teaching environment such as a 20+ computer lab? For example, an existing computer lab may not be equipped with suitable OS and/or RAM for the AWIPS client. But as an X-11 display based tool, can the CAVE environment be X-11 port-forwarded to a remote desktop X-11 emulator from a suitable client host? Could that host in fact be a 64-bit CentOS VM with remote login facility? Could a 'bank' of such VM's of suitable RAM resource serve as hosts to multiple computer lab desktops? We may have an opportunity for a gift of used but well endowed data center compute nodes … the mind reels. So I'm wondering if we can acquire CAVE classroom implementation while minimizing the expense of upgrades to existing lab resources. -Neil --- Neil Smith neils@xxxxxxxx 979.845.6272 Senior IT Professional, Atmospheric Sciences, TAMU
