Karl,
Is your 1 server running Garp for all 10-20 users, or are the
remote machines running Garp locally and just mounting the
GEMPAK/Garp binaries and LDM data files?
The primary consideration for running Garp is the amount of RAM available,
since running loops of images for each copy of the program will use considerable
memory resources. If swapping has to occur, the annimation loops will be slow.
If you run Garp on the individual machines, and utilize the server as
the file server, the server can be much less robust.
Are you currently running NSF3 in your lab?
What type of machines are the remote displays?
