Our talk is about the Power CHALLENGE-ARRAY product. Ajit presents a brief overview of the Power CHALLENGE-ARRAY and the IRIX extensions that support it. Rob Bradshaw talks about the accounting (equivalent to CRAY style accounting) and array command extensions. Eric Salo describes the IRIX extensions and the Message Passing Interface (MPI) changes, both of which support the fast MPI across the PC array. Finally, Alex Petruncola discusses the IRIX extensions that support the Fair Share Scheduler, and presents an overview of the scheduler. The speakers conduct a Q&A session at the end of the discussion.

Texture mapping, in combination with a handful of imaging and geometric operators, provides a powerful rendering primitive. This session focuses on volume rendering, spectral environment mapping and projective texturing--processes that illustrate the generality and flexibility of texture mapping. In this session we describe these techniques in an effort to inspire development of other cool algorithms that leverage texture mapping and related primitives.
Volume rendering is a useful technique for visualizing 3D (volumetric) data, especially if it can be done at interactive rates. We discuss the basic algorithmic structure of volume rendering with texture mapping in OpenGL, and then explore variations on the basic theme. We also emphasize the flexibility and programmability of this technique.
Environment mapping based on a sphere map is often used to render mirror-like surfaces at interactive rates. Yet, because the sphere map implicitly encodes the viewing and normal directions, any illumination model based on only these parameters can be captured. Examples include not only mirror reflection, but also Phong lighting, Fresnel reflection from metals, and thin-film colors.
Projective image (texture) mapping is a technique that allows imagery to be mapped to geometry through compound-perspective transformations. This technique enables the simulation of a scene in which images to be mapped are attached to cameras within the scene. Projective image mapping is useful in many application areas including remote sensing, photogrammetry, film and video, visual simulation, and general special effects. It is a feature supported in hardware on RealityEngine graphics.

As interactive graphics applications in the scientific, technical and engineering domains grow in visual and functional complexity, the integration of new graphics features along with traditional rendering techniques becomes increasingly difficult. By extending the open and portable architecture of Open Inventor, access to new graphics technology can be provided in a transparent form, supporting the efforts of software companies as well as industrial and academic in-house developers. Thus, the time to market for innovative graphics techniques can be reduced drastically.
The Molecular Inventor Toolkit is presented as a role model for extending the capabilities of the standard Open Inventor API to facilitate the development of interactive 3D applications. I target the chemistry market as an example. These extensions define molecular graphics rendering primitives to provide optimized usage of graphics hardware within general-purpose molecular viewers.
In addition, from Open Inventor, Molecular Inventor inherits all application communication mechanisms required for complete desktop integration. Therefore, it provides a flexible framework for chemistry related interactive annotation in 3D, live video conferencing, whiteboarding over high-bandwidth networks and media-rich information sharing through the World Wide Web.

The ImageVision Library (IL) is an object-oriented toolkit for developing image-processing applications. IL is written in C++ and is binary compatible across the entire Silicon Graphics product line, from Indy to Onyx. IL provides over 70 image-processing operations and several file formats. Developers can add customer operations and file formats in C++. IL is multithreaded and can accelerate some operations using the graphics pipeline.
The presentation describes IL's features, how it works and how to use it. The speaker also discusses new features of IL 3.0, including the port to OpenGL, new MP architecture, and the ViewKit components available in RapidApp.

The baseline or core OpenGL functionality represents a snapshot of the functionality present in its predecessor, IRIS GL, circa 1992. Over the past year and a half, a number of extensions have been added to OpenGL to bring it up to the same level of functionality as IRIS GL on RealityEngine.
This talk covers the following topics:
We also discuss some of the ideas for extensions still in the works.
A basic familiarity with OpenGL is essential; knowledge of RealityEngine features is useful but not required.

This is a two-part session: In the first part we discuss the future of multilingual (M10L) computing; in the second we talk about the XKB keyboard extension.
The future of internationalization (I18N) is in providing a truly multilingual environment. There are now so many standards in this area that being standard may not be "standard" at all. We present the issues facing the developer who must deal with multilingual text.
The XKB X keyboard extension was developed jointly by Silicon Graphics and other hardware companies. Erik Fortune presents the XKB interface and provide a demonstration of its capabilities. XKB will soon be available on Silicon Graphics workstations.
This session is not about how to internationalize an application in today's environment; for that information, sign up for the lab Internationalization is Straightforward if You Know How.

The Keystone Initiative is an entertainment industry focused effort. This initiative addresses two problems that end users currently battle. The first problem is that the learning curve for software is very steep and there is little similarity among software products. To overcome this, Keystone proposes some commonality in desktop integration and user interface. The second problem is interchange of data. It is often the case when one software package writes a file, a second package cannot read it without going through a series of converters. Keystone proposes APIs and a cut-and-paste model to ease the exchange of data.

The art of real-time 3D graphics used to be practiced mainly to create visual simulations for task training. Today, the tools developed to serve these needs can be applied to many new domains. Applications in areas such as architectural walkthrough, simulation-based design, broadcast video, game prototyping and location-based entertainment all have similar requirements for high-performance and constant frame rate rendering of complex dynamic scenes.
We cover the graphics peformance requirements of applications in these areas, and how developers can use IRIS Performer to help meet these requirements. We also discuss performance issues related to scene graph structure, level-of-detail, latency, video texturing and character animation.

Application developers have several different graphics libraries from which to choose: IRIS GL, OpenGL, IL Performer and Inventor.

The session provides facts and advice about graphics programming approaches, with an emphasis on IRIS GL and OpenGL. You will learn that IRIS is like a next-generation hardware; you'll get a glimpse of OpenGL 1.1; and you'll see how higher-level graphics libraries fit in the OpenGL picture.

Silicon Graphics is leading the computer industry in the development of a low-cost, open solution for the new ADA95 standard. This standard will revolutionize the way software is developed in ADA and will increase the efficiency of many large-scale, commercial applications. This talk describes some of the critical new features of ADA95: the architecture, performance of the GNAT and its runtime. Combined, these elements form and are a critical component of Silicon Graphics' new ADA strategy.
In addition we describe the new applications and libraries that Silicon Graphics has developed to complete a truly open ADA environment. Finally, we talk about the issues of porting existing ADA83 applications, and the status of soon-to-be-released ADA products and tools.
