[Geoserver-users] Graphic Card and Geoserver

I have a simple question regarding geoserver graphic card usage.

Does geoserver or one of its image extensions depend of a good graphic card?

We are configuring a web server machine with a Matrox® G200eR2 with 16MB.

Is it enough to run geoserver and its image processing capabilities?

Maybe the next question is not simple:

How to measure how much graphic card geoserver needs?

Hello Rodriko,

as far as I know, GeoServer does not depend from a graphic card. Our server has low-end onboard graphics, just for a little bit administration and thats it.

I also couldn’t imagine where graphic cards could be used but if you would use the gpu for rendering the images.

Cheers

Stefan

Nope, as far as I know all GeoServer does happens against the CPU, there is
no usage whatsoever of the graphics card

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your reply!

I thought that, for example, GEOS and JAI could use some graphic card capabilities to some image operation. But I really don’t know much about them =)

Cheers
