We already have a 3x3 hyperwall running Gentoo, but thats a lot simpler than |
| 12 |
what we will be building. If you are interested, our mini got a little |
| 13 |
publicity a year ago in the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter: |

We also just had a paper published in IEEE Transactions on Visualization and |
| 18 |
Computer Graphics. The graphics cluster described is our 7x7, which is |
| 19 |
rather old and still running Fedora Core 2. |

The new cluster will be designed to do more of what is described in that |
| 24 |
paper. |
