The French Air Force, to create realistic simulations to train all military air traffic controllers for operations inside and outside of France, selected three Silicon Graphics Prism visualization systems, each with 4 Intel Itanium 2 processors and 4 ATI graphics pipes. The systems will run SGI Advanced Linux Environment with ProPack (ALE/PP3) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Sold through SGI channel partner Immersion SAS which is also providing 22 DLP projectors with a complete blending and correction system, the entire project is driven by CS-SI, a service company. CS-SI's internal 3D library, Vertigo, is being ported to the 64-bit Linux environment with the help of the SGI Application Group. SGI Professional Services is managing the complete project, including building two virtual air traffic control towers that will be used 12 hours a day, seven days a week. One virtual tower will be a complete 360° display powered by 8 graphics pipes on two Silicon Graphics Prism systems; the other will show 180° and will be powered by 4 graphics pipes. Key elements of the French Air Force's choice include: SGI's global shared-memory architecture, especially when compared to cluster solutions they considered that required up to 14 separate machines; the Silicon Graphics Prism system's superior image quality, robustness, ease of use and administration; and SGI's long experience in driving and implementing large visualization projects. Installation will commence in February 2006.
