MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Since its release, the Silicon Graphics Prism(TM) visualization system has been eagerly adopted by leaders in technical and scientific visualization, and is rapidly becoming the gold standard of 64-bit Linux(R) visualization environments. Widespread acceptance by the manufacturing, sciences, energy, and government and defense industries has set the stage for existing SGI application developer-partners and a broad range of applications brand new to SGI to optimize their industry-leading software for the open-systems, large memory, scalable Silicon Graphics Prism visualization system.

The growing momentum to port visualization applications to Silicon Graphics Prism systems is fueled by the fact that more than 250 computational applications previously optimized for 64-bit SGI(R) Altix(R) high-performance compute systems will also run on Silicon Graphics Prism. Any industry needing to combine computational applications with visualization (which is just about everyone) can now do both on one Silicon Graphics Prism. For example: in structural analysis, engineers can run simulations with MSC.NASTRAN(TM) and ANSYS(R) and use the same Silicon Graphics Prism system to visualize their results using CEI EnSight(TM) Gold. The combination of computing and visualization applications on the same scalable system increases individual productivity and the results achievable from a single system.

"An impressive number of industry-leading software application developers are seeing the value that scalable visualization using large memory has in their market segments and are quickly making their scalable visual applications available for 64-bit Silicon Graphics Prism systems. They are able to do this rapidly and easily because of the SGI open systems environment," said Anneke Dempsey, senior director, Global Alliances, SGI. "With the broad adoption by developers of the Silicon Graphics Prism system, SGI now offers a phenomenal solution that allows high-performance computational as well as incredibly precise visualization capabilities on a single platform, for a huge variety of industries."

Among the software development partners porting their applications to the Silicon Graphics Prism visualization system are:

-- Advanced Visual Systems' (AVS) popular AVS/Express software is used to extract new meaning from the visualization of all types of large and complex datasets in the fields of science, engineering and academia. A recently released 64-bit Linux operating environment version, AVS/Express 7.0, will find greatly increased rendering and application performance on Silicon Graphics Prism systems. AVS5, for the developer who...
