Paul and Thread: 3D Graphics Demo on Itanium 3Dlabs Announces First Public Demonstration of OpenGL 3D Graphics Accelerator On Itanium Processor amic indicated his former IT "targets" in Europe were intensely interested in Itanium meeting it's deadlines. Well I don't know if its on time or not, but the 3D Graphics Accelerator is ready. biz.yahoo.com NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- 3Dlabs®, Inc. (Nasdaq: TDDD - news) today announced the first public demonstration of the Intel® (Nasdaq:INTC - news) Itanium(TM) processor running accelerated OpenGL® graphics using the 3Dlabs Oxygen(TM) GVX1 workstation graphics accelerator at the SolidWorks® International User Conference & Expo in New Orleans. 3Dlabs has been working closely with Intel to port 3Dlabs' OpenGL ICD to the Intel® IA-64 architecture; with the result that 3Dlabs is the first company with a demonstrable workstation-class graphics solution for Intel's new generation processor. (Photo: newscom.com ) ''3Dlabs has a long history of collaboration with Intel on IA32 platforms -- and the development of accelerated OpenGL graphics on the IA-64 Itanium platform is therefore a natural extension,'' said Miguel Daud, Director of Marketing for Intel's Workstation Product Group. ''3Dlabs' support and assistance has been invaluable in integrating state-of-the-art workstation graphics technology with Intel's IA-64 advanced architecture.'' ''The first public demonstration of OpenGL 3D graphics is a milestone in bringing 3D workstation graphics into the IA-64 program,'' said Tom Copeland, vice president of Workstations and High Performance Systems at International Data Corporation. ''3Dlabs has been a pioneer in providing high-quality, high-performance workstation graphics and this demonstration shows that it is a very active vendor with Intel in helping to bring Itanium to market. This early cooperation will put 3Dlabs in a strong position to provide excellent 3D graphics solutions at the launch of Itanium.'' ''3Dlabs is fully committed to providing the best possible workstation graphics support for Itanium and we are delighted to be the first board vendor with accelerated OpenGL support for this exciting new processor,'' said Neil Trevett, vice president of marketing at 3Dlabs. ''We believe that the combination of Intel's IA-64 architecture and 3Dlabs 64-bit optimized OpenGL drivers for Oxygen graphics will enable the next generation of high-end workstations and applications.''
