Demo's 16 and 17  needs


> 1. Each ImmersaDesk will have at least 100 Mb/s individually switched IP
>    connectivity to NCSA's core network, and from there to the vBNS and the
>    outside world. Multicast will also be provided to other vBNS sites.
>
>    Is this sufficient for your application's networking needs?  Yes
>    If not, please explain.
>
>    Will one network connection be sufficient?  Yes
>    If not, how many will be needed?
>
>    If your application will do point-to-point communication, what other
>    sites will you need connectivity to?  ODU
>
>    If your application requires multicast, what other sites will you
>    need connectivity to?  ODU
>
> 2. If your application is an ImmersaDesk application, what will the
>    frame rate be on the following hardware:
>
>    Octane
>      Irix 6.4, dual R10K cpus, MXi graphics, 256 MB RAM     Good
>
>    Onyx
>      Irix 6.2, four R4400 CPUs, 256 MB RAM,
>      RE2 graphics (with two RM5s of texture memory)         Good
>
>    Onyx
>      Irix 6.2, four R10K cpus, 256 MB RAM,
>      IR graphics (DG4-2 with two RM64s of texture memory)   Better
>
>    Onyx2
>      Irix 6.4, two R10K cpus, 256 MB RAM,
>      IR graphics (DG4-2 with two RM64s of texture memory)   Better
>
> 3. Beyond a standard SGI (as listed above) running an ImmersaDesk, does your
>    application require any other type of machine/OS. such as a SUN, PC,
>    or Macintosh?   NO
>
>    If so, what machine/OS is needed? Can you supply it if needed?
>
> 4. An ImmersaDesk will be available as a large-format, passive display
>    device capable of displaying output from both SGIs and PCs.
>
>    If applicable, does your application require any other type of display
>    device? If so, please describe.    N/A
>
> 5. Does your application require more than 500 MB of local disk space?  No
>    If so, how much local disk space does it need?

yes 512MB


>
> 6. Does your application require a telephone on the demo show floor?  Yes
>    Will it require more than one telephone line? If so, how many?  One
>
> 7. Each ImmersaDesk machine will have the following software installed:
>
>    C/C++   (7.1 or 7.2)
>    F77/90  (7.1 or 7.2)
>
>    CAVE, pfCAVE Libs  (2.6)
>    CAVERN
>    MPI
>    NEXUS/GLOBUS
>    NCSA vss and sound lib
>
>    CaseVision
>    CosmoPlayer  (1.0.2)
>    CosmoWorlds
>    Java Development environment (SGI's JDK)
>    Inventor
>    Performer  (2.1 or 2.2)
>
>    GNU tools (gmake, gzip, emacs/xemacs)
>    Habanero
>    Multicast tools (sdr, vic, vat)
>    Netscape Communicator
>
>    Does your application require any additional software? If so, please list.
>    Can you provide it along with suitable licenses, if needed?  N/A
>
> 8. Beyond a standard SGI (as listed above) running an ImmersaDesk,
>    does your application require any auxiliary computing resources *not*
>    on the show floor (eg. remote servers or supercomputers)?  No
>
>    If so, what resources do you need?
>    Have you made the necessary arrangements for them?
>
> 9. Beyond a standard ImmersaDesk configuration, does your application
>    require any additional input/output devices?  No
>
>    If so, what are they? Can you provide them?
>    What is needed to connect them to an ImmersaDesk?
>
> 10. Does your application use the NCSA 'vss' sound server?  Not yet
>
>     Does your application require the use of a dedicated Indy as a
>     sound server?  No
>
>     Does your application do ImmersaDesk-to-ImmersaDesk communication
>     and require a corresponding audio connection?  Yes
>
>     If your application is a non-VR presentation, does it need amplification?
>   N/A
>     What other audio requirements do you have?
>
> 11. Does your application use the standard ImmersaDesk VR tracker daemon?
>     If not, which tracker daemon does it use?  Yes
