Site seems (logically) down. I wonder if they share any info on the processing hardware used...

Yes, it's OK now. But it requires Silverlight Still, the info is very sketchy - Dell Precision T7500 with dual quad-core Xeons (but which ones?), 24 gigs of ram (in what setup?), 6 tb disks (what kind, what setup?). I may end up writing an email to the team.

Nice pano, but still leaves much to be desired, compared to Julian's, maybe the air quality isn't so good there. Its a very beautiful city to look at.


Bo, please do,
Those specs aren't desktop standard, more like workstation. hmm!;-)

Yes, interesting the specs are so sparse. 24Gb was the same as in the Paris one, from memory, though they used Intel SSD. I doubt, they would have used 1TB SSD, more like 6x 1TB SATA, and you would hope it was in a Stripe RAID-0 set :-)

Thanks Julian,
That's good to hear, even though I still lust for a new workstation, its good to know that it can be done on more affordable equipment.
I have made changes to my own setup so to use multiple computer, though still a serial event, not parallel. Using Remote Desktop, to multiple computers, but this is more to do many smaller pano's in the 1-4GB size

It would be really great if you could share some more info on how you made your very nice pano, that would be very generous of you.

thanks

PS: I am just having some fun with Bo :-) <at least I think its fun <grin> >

from the link above:

It is of a new record: the numerical photograph the highest definition of history was accomplished in Budapest, since the tower of observation (observation is the action of attentive monitoring of phenomena, without will to change them, in help) of János. They speak about a pan composed of gigapixels 70 (that is more than 70 billion pixels). It is the specialized World group 360 which accomplished this prowess, an event was sponsored by Microsoft (Corporation Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is multinational one American of computer resolutions, founded), Sony as well as Epson.

Two Reflex Sony A900 provided with objectives 400mm Minolta and of téléconvertisseurs 1,4X was exploited. The stage of compilation lasted two days (The day or the day is the space which separates the survey of the sunset; it is the period between two) and allowed to generate a file (A file is a place where are lined up chips. It perhaps a piece of furniture, a room, a building, one) KRO of 200 Go.
The final photograph shows dimensions (In wisdom, the notion of dimension returns in size; the dimensions of a room are its length, her) unbelievable: 590 508 x 120 750 pixels.
