New SGI line of clustered graphics systemsOrlando 27 November 2000 SGI's new Graphics Clusters will support demanding real-time 3D applications in the training and simulation market. It will have integrated software such as multiprocess OpenGL PerformerNT, to increase performance and realism and Advanced Cluster Environment (ACE) to simplify Linux cluster administration.
These features will be incorporated into a low-cost Pentium
processor-based system capable of driving multiple channels of high-resolution
display through a cluster environment. Product deliveries are planned during
the first half of 2001. SGI will offer two customizable Graphics Clusters models to meet diverse cost
and performance requirements. They will support a variety of PC operating
systems as well as today's leading off-the-shelf graphic subsystems, APIs, and
accelerators, delivering the top graphics performance and flexibility in their
class.
