Summary:  The operator systems of separable matrices, of positive semidefinite matrices, and of block positive matrices are well-known operator systems over the cone of positive semidefinite matrices. Less well-studied are the operator systems of matrices with positive semidefinite partial transpose, doubly positive matrices, and decomposable matrices. We investigate which of these systems is finitely generated, and which admits a finite-dimensional realization. We show that decomposable maps form a system which does not admit a finite-dimensional realization, whereas the system of doubly completely positive maps is not finitely generated.
