EETimes.com - Silicon Graphics releases Linux workstations NEW YORK — Silicon Graphics Inc. got behind the Linux operating system in a big way on Monday (May 15), introducing a line of Intel-based workstations that will support Linux, and saying it will drop all development work on proprietary operating systems except for its high-end IRIX systems. Silicon Graphics (Mountain View, Calif.) wants to build on its success with Linux servers by moving to Linux workstations, said Ujesh Desai, the company's IA-32 workstation line manager. Silicon Graphics is offering those users both scaled-down and souped-up Linux machines. www.eetimes.com /story/OEG20000515S0051   (825 words)

DailyTech - Silicon Graphics Sues ATI Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) is also seeking damages at an unspecified amount and an injunction, stopping ATI from developing and shipping graphics processors that infringe on SGI's patents. The graphics program can operate directly on the data in the frame buffer without losing any of the desired range and precision of the data. Unless you can find another way to represent graphics data as something other than a floating point number and store the data in something other than a buffer. www.dailytech.com /article.aspx?newsid=4689   (1907 words)

SiliconValley.com - Home If you're a Silicon Valley executive looking for another country where you can expand or relocate your business, here are a few things the folks from Chile want you to know about their country. What makes Silicon Valley so special? About 70 business school graduates from Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, University of California-Berkeley and UCLA gathered Tuesday night at the Palo Alto Sheraton to hear three venture capitalists address that question. We surveyed a number of VCs, angel investors, and entrepreneurs to determine the next generation of top-tier venture capitalists: people under the age of 40 who are already blazing a path in the industry, and who may well be leading it in another 10 to 15 years. www.siliconvalley.com   (675 words)

Silicon Graphics, Inc. The settlement would require Silicon Graphics to take steps to ensure that other companies that develop and sell such software and the workstations to run it can compete with Silicon Graphics. Silicon Graphics has a 90 percent share of the market for the workstations that run such software, according to the FTC complaint detailing the charges in this case. Silicon Graphics also maintained an open software interface for its entertain- ment graphics workstations, which meant that independent software developers could access specification information about Silicon Graphics workstations to ensure that their products would run on them. www.ftc.gov /opa/1995/06/sgi.htm   (758 words)

Silicon Graphics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Silicon Graphics, Inc., commonly called SGI, began as a maker of graphics display terminals in 1982. In response to these market changes, Silicon Graphics Inc. changed its corporate identity to "SGI" in an attempt to clarify their current market position as a more than simply a graphics company, although the legal name of the company remained unchanged. The addition of 3D graphic capabilities to the PC and the ability of clusters of Linux or BSD UNIX-based PC's to take on many of the tasks of larger SGI servers has eaten into SGI's core markets. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Silicon_Graphics   (2372 words)

What is silicon? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Silicon is the basic material used to make computer chips, transistors, silicon diodes and other electronic circuits and switching devices because its atomic structure makes the element an ideal semiconductor. Silicon is commonly doped, or mixed, with other elements, such as boron, phosphorous and arsenic, to alter its conductive properties. Silicon was first isolated and described as an element in 1824 by Jöns Jacob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist. www.webopedia.com /TERM/M/silicon.html   (347 words)

Galaxy: Silicon Graphics Systems SGI is the company known for helping to pioneer the computer graphics revolution of the early '90s, most famously in movies like "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" and "Jurassic Park." Their computers were, and still are, the core of Industrial Light and Magic's graphics conceptualization and generation abilities. Graphics There are two basic generations of Indigo2: The green generation and the purple generation. XL graphics were, however, the fastest 2D graphics available in the first Indigo2 generation, and in fact, for a short time at least, were the fastest desktop X11 graphics, period. spaces.msn.com /galaxycui/Blog/cns!1pAM00uuf5Ka5FALBOaFPSUA!179.entry   (9311 words)

Silicon Graphics Indy (PCW, September 1993)... Silicon Graphics claims that Unix is for the ordinary user, and with the inclusion of a new graphical user interface, called Indigo Magic, there is some truth in that. Silicon Graphics bought MIPS a little over a year ago and is firmly tied to this range of RISC processors, but this does not impinge on the use of MIPS processors in other manufacturers' machines. Silicon Graphics will have to wait for NT drivers for special functions like camera, sound and video hardware, which is a shame, because NT would give access to a large base of affordable programs running in a native mode. www.futuretech.blinkenlights.nl /pcw9-93indy.html   (2854 words)

SGI Indy / Silicon Graphics R4000 Architecture It was a low cost Unix workstation that excelled at 2D graphics (it's 3D capabilities were pretty minimal), was reasonable fast (even slow SGI systems seem fast because their graphics cards update the screen so quickly), and featured an ISDN port, a built-in camera, videoconfernceing capabilities, and all kinds of cool stuff. Graphics possibilities ranged from low end 8bit color to 24bit to 24bit with some 3D capability. The Indy caused such a sensation when it was first hyped by Silicon Graphics, that a 1993 Issue of Wired Magazine declared that this was the machine to get it you wanted to be on the cutting edge. www.obsolyte.com /sgi_indy   (869 words)
