Jetstream2 Panel Art

The Jetstream2 supercomputer is a cloud-based and on-demand system available 24/7. A user can even create virtual machines that function like their lab workstation or home machine, with thousands of times the computing power.

Blue glowing lights flank the stair-stepped cabinet door fronts. These lights indicate the system is operating normally and the components are cool. Temperature cool. Not Fonzi cool.

The stair-step panels create a unique design challenge. The placement of graphical elements needs careful consideration. Depending on the viewer's angle, the elements appear warped and skewed.

Jetstream2 has two rows of twelve cabinet fronts. The panel artwork incorporates archival images of IU researchers, scientists, and computing students, collaged with vector graphics that represent their work as well as other work supported by the Jetstream2 supercomputer. One panel set is representative of Earth and sky. The other is representative of wind and water.
