Abstract
Innovations in High Performance Computing (HPC) andnetworking technologies are enabling qualitativeimprovements in collaborations. Panoramic computerdisplays and the Access Grid are prime examples thathave gained traction in scientific research. Here wedescribe our innovations: a compact high-resolutionscalable desktop display; and an all Linux Access Grid,which natively supports computer graphics andvisualization. We present examples from collaborativeprojects initiated between archaeologists and scientists,and HPC researchers.
