Tungsten Graphics Announces Phase II Contract Award by ATTC, FT Rucker, AL to Extend Chromium to Support CIGS (Computer Image Generator Subsystem)
Through funding provided by Developmental Test Command?s (DTC) Synthetic Environment Focus Group (SEFG), ATTC (U.S. Army Aviation Technical Test Center) is developing a Personal Computer (PC) Cluster based Scene Generation computer system, utilizing a Chromium infrastructure, to replace the existing Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) system.
Cedar Park, TX (PRWEB) July 14, 2004 -- Tungsten Graphics, inc., premiere
provider of Graphics infrastructure software and services announced today, a
Contract Award by ATTC, FT Rucker, AL to Extend Chromium to Support
CIGS.
Through funding provided by Developmental Test Command?s (DTC)
Synthetic Environment Focus Group (SEFG), ATTC (U.S. Army Aviation Technical
Test Center) is developing a Personal Computer (PC) Cluster based Scene
Generation computer system, utilizing a Chromium infrastructure, to replace the
existing Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) system.
An important part of ATTC?s
development of a PC-based CIGS is Chromium. Chromium is a flexible framework for
scalable rendering on clusters of workstations, derived from the Stanford WireGL
project. A Chromium system allows clusters of low cost, high performance,
commodity computer hardware and graphics accelerators to be linked together over
high speed networks in a scalable architecture. Although many OpenGL
applications will run unmodified as distributed applications in a Chromium
system, it?s often the case that customizations are needed to fully take
advantage of Chromium.
