FROM THE LINK OF NOV. 2005: PRISM/Linux

Companies mentioned Intel/VRSim/sGI

"The Silicon Graphics Prism™ Deskside system powers the VRSim Welding Trainer visualization with a proven 64-bit Linux® environment with the SGI scalable, shared-memory architecture based on the same high-performance system architecture as the record-setting SGI® Altix® servers and supercomputers. The Silicon Graphics Prism Deskside is the only system of its kind driven by dual Intel® Itanium® 2 processors and ATI® FireGL™ graphics processors, delivering unparalleled price/performance.

"The power of Intel Itanium 2 processors and SGI visualization technology delivers realistic welding in real time, enhancing the learning experience," said Melissa Laird, general manager of Intel's Developer Relations Division. "The SGI and VRSim Welding Trainer is a unique product that takes great advantage of Intel's platform."

VRSim's Sim Welder Software leverages SGI OpenGL Performer™ technology to deliver the ultimate realism for a virtual training environment. The virtual environment can be tailored to display real-world scenarios such as a vehicle repair on a battlefield or an industrial manufacturing setting during the training exercise. VRSim's IO software provides the middleware to manage the complex array of peripheral devices required to make the turn-key training solution complete."

Also of interest in the article------soldiers have to learn to weld and carry their skills with them into battle. Obvious to some but overlooked by us nerds(speaking for myself).
