Apple showed a Hyperwall at WWDC10 to visualize thousands of apps downloading from Apple’s store every minute.
This visualization shows the activity of the 50,000 most popular App Store apps on 30 synchronized 24-inch LED Cinema Displays. Each app falls when downloaded and is stored based on the color of its icon. It takes 10,800 apps to fill the display completely.
This Hyperwall is powered by 30 Mac Pro towers with Mac OS X Snow Leopard and EVGA NVIDIA GTX 285 graphics cards. As apps are downloaded from the App Store, their data is coalesced via an XML feed every five minutes. Apps are sorted and scheduled using Cocoa and Objective-C. The data is then passed to an OpenCL kernle, which drives the animation. Quartz Composer brings all the technologies together and renders the final synchronized output using Quartz Composer Visualizer.
