Motion picture production facility with liquid cooled 512 processor mobile super computing vehicle and virtual reality environment

Published: 05 November 2007 Publication History

Abstract

The motion picture production pipeline has evolved where super computers are needed at the filming location. This allows content from digital cinema cameras recorded on external raid hard drives, shooting 4K-8K content, to have immediate processing capabilities. This Mobile Super Computing Vehicle, MSCV, will provide a mobile nervous center for a 6--8 man production crew. This announcement describes the Linux based liquid cooled 512 processors producing a 30 Teraflops super computer with 5 racks that will be integrated into a tractor trailer vehicle. The electrical, thermal, and mechanical engineering design issues of this undertaking will be analyzed and presented. The thermal issues are resolved by a closed chilled water system running through a unique design carries away up to 95 percent of the heat generated by the system. A complete Linux production pipeline tool set for digital intermediate processing and visual effects will be presented.
