VisAD is highly multi-threaded, so will effectively use multiple processors with JVMs that use native threads. VisAD's use of graphics hardware depends on Java3D. There's a nice guide to "video hardware" on the Java3D FAQ: http://tintoy.ncsa.uiuc.edu/~srp/java3d/video.html Cheers, Bill ---------------------------------------------------------- Bill Hibbard, SSEC, 1225 W.
