Excelling at compute and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), these solutions redefine data center graphics capability while consuming 95 percent less power at idle and dramatically cutting data center operating costs(4).
Like Florence Nightingale before him, what gives his work its persuasive force is not just rock-solid data and beautiful graphics but his personal passion and enthusiasm.
Last October James bought a company called Corda, which makes software that turns corporate data into intelligent graphics, a business that could become a threat if Omniture technology moves into analyzing corporate behavior.
The graveyard of once-high-flying stocks includes Digital Equipment, Apollo Computer, Data General and Silicon Graphics (now SGI).
The payoff: Cutting out so much data enabled them to get rid of external depth memory as well as the bottlenecks caused by shuffling data between it and the graphics chip.
Even though these graphics chips whip up close to 1 million polygons a second, they bog down in the data, which can travel only so fast between the graphics accelerator and the memory chips nearby.
At the heart of the Magellan SmartGPS is a Texas Instruments Cortex A8 1 GHz processor to support the increased demand for high resolution graphics and multi-function data processing.

Besides moving more of the wired world into your physical space, Chuah works on new ways to depict yourself online, as wireless data services like short messaging move beyond text to graphics.
With conventional 3-D graphics, the computer generates and stores data rendering the depth, shape, color, and texture of the entire house -- including walls, windows and doors that are out of sight.
Chips based on this architecture AMD calls Accelerated Processing Units or APUs from the old idea that graphics processors are hardware accelerators for rendering visual data.
While the rapid transition from voice to data in the mobile space represents a golden opportunity for the graphics industry, there are a number of hurdles to clear.
FORBES: Mobile Phone Gaming Gets A Boost From Better Graphics Chips
The chip is a graphics accelerator, a specialized supercomputer of sorts that handles the flood of data needed to create moving two- and three-dimensional images.
Live Screenshot Widgets in arcplan can display important metrics with real-time data, similar to what Microsoft is doing with its live tiles, but with graphics.
Warning: Both versions require a lot of data input, and some getting used to, although the iPad version has better graphics and, we think, is more user friendly.
