SGI and ESI Power BMW for Faster Designs and Greater Safety biz.yahoo.com Origin 3000 Series Achieves More Than 12 GFLOPS Sustained Performance With ESI PAM-CRASH MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- SGI (NYSE: SGI - news) and ESI today announced that they have succeeded in achieving unprecedented computing power using the latest generation SGI(TM)supercomputer, SGI(TM) Origin(TM) 3000 series, and ESI PAM-CRASH to assist BMW in creating a crash simulation engine. BMW was also able to significantly shorten the design-cycle time using SGI Origin 3000 Series rather than conventional design analysis technology. The result for future BMW Series 5 owners is even safer automobiles delivered in a shorter period of time. The thing that's cool is that SGI's 3000 series is bringing expandable supercomputing to a linear attractive pricing model and in reality the pricing is now where business can afford to do modeling that only a few years back was strictly the province of the DOD. It seems to me that DOD in past did well over 90% of it's edge science with SGI. Now competing in the commercial market place for technology based commercial science SGI is the leader of the pack with both computer technology and applications. The key is applications as that implies that all the folks who know how to do this know SGI. In past Sgi lost to sun in commercial areas because sun dominated this space. But I think a new and big era of big science is happening. I have to think about SGI in this market in a new way. Hp is to diverse a company and sun just really does not do this area well. It's not IBM's backyard either. hmmm.... is this important. Irix has the clostest IMHO opinion linux feel of all unixes. A pentium III at 650 with linux gives a technolist the ability to work on and test smaller pieces of big problems on home systems and the seemless portability between Linux and Irix I did not feel with Solaris or HP-ux. Does this make any difference Also SGI in the leader in streaming media delivery and in graphics content solutions. In this area SGI has the lower cost Linux solutions that will do well with the very cost conscious. What the Hell is that Damn Mr. Bishop doing wrong? Why can't I see it. He's right and He's right and he's right and he's very right. Well that did not get me anywhere. Time to start thinking about where the holes are. Anybody got a 3000 I can borrow to model where to look for the hole. Tom Watson tosiwmee
