NASA’s Advanced Supercomputing Division at Ames has created a mega display capable of rendering one quarter billion pixels.

The mega display is called hyperwall-2 and it measures 7- x 3- meters. It is powered by 128 GPUs, 1,024 processor cores with 74 teraflops of peak processing power and data storage capacity of 475 terabytes.

Hyperwall-2 has more than 100 times the processing power of it’s predecessor, the 49-screen hyperwall developed in 2002.
