Milo Moron - re: 'P4 really sucks on IPC' It sucks? Who asks what the "IPC" is when they buy a computer ? Here's why they will buy a Pentium 4: "Cedara has achieved 3X performance gains by eliminating performance bottlenecks and optimizing the Cedara IAP source code for Intel's Pentium 4- processor system. This enables faster processing of larger data sets and increases the number of frames displayed per second to provide users with real- time interactivity with medical images.

Higher Throughput for 3D Medical Imaging Solutions with Optimization of Cedara IAP on Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Processor Enhanced platform enables faster patient throughput and better 3D image data analysis on Intel workstations /Editors' Note: images available/ TORONTO, Nov. 15 /PRNewswire/ - (NASDAQ: CDSW/TSE:CDE) Cedara Software Corp., one of the largest independent medical imaging software developer sand outsourcers of imaging technology to the healthcare market, is pleased to announce enhancements to its Imaging Application Platform (IAP)(TM) software, designed to optimize performance on Intel-based workstations. The enhancements deliver significant speed and quality improvements which will help Cedara customers reduce time to market for new healthcare solutions based on IAP. Loris Sartor, VP, Engineering, Cedara Imaging & Information Solutions said, ``Cedara's customers are the leading multinational companies in medical imaging. IAP is the development environment for solutions they sell, and which are embedded across the entire healthcare market in a large variety of imaging modality and disease-centric solutions. Thanks to the collaboration of engineers at Cedara and Intel, these new performance benefits will be felt throughout the industry as they speed patient diagnosis and advance the standard of patient care.'' Cedara has achieved 3X performance gains by eliminating performance bottlenecks and optimizing the Cedara IAP source code for Intel's Pentium 4- processor system. This enables faster processing of larger data sets and increases the number of frames displayed per second to provide users with real- time interactivity with medical images. A faster IAP image processing engine means Cedara has a more competitive offering, offering a better quality/speed tradeoff. This translates into a higher quality image of anatomical detail in less time. The result for users of IAP-based applications on Intel Pentium 4- processor workstations is faster, better diagnosis, and more efficient patient throughput. ` `A patient can get an immediate answer, or be re-scheduled for a new scan right away if necessary. The process is more efficient for patient and hospital, and that is a value proposition that is interesting to our customers,'' said Sartor. Sartor said Intel-optimized IAP software demonstrates throughput and workflow improvements due to the way Cedara has married volume rendering, fuzzy logic, and the capabilities of the Intel Pentium 4-processor-based platform. ``Consider a scenario where a radiologist wants to isolate a blood vessel from a 3D volume of patient data acquired using MR angiography. IAP now offers more elegant and faster handling of over-lapping types of interactive 3D views of the data. The optimized fuzzy logic efficiently extracts the blood vessels, reducing what was once an hour of work to just a few seconds.'' The enhanced IAP package, running on the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, is on display in Intel's booth No. 6135 at COMDEX 2000 in Las Vegas from November 13 - 17. It will also be on display in Cedara's booth No. 3714 at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Conference in Chicago, November 26 - December 1. Cedara Software Corp. is one of the largest independent medical imaging software developers and the largest outsourcer of imaging technology to the healthcare market. Cedara serves healthcare solution provider customers, including Aesculap, ADAC Health Care, Carl Zeiss, Inc., Elgems, eMed Technologies, General Electric, Hitachi Medical, Image Devices, Marconi, Mitsubishi Electric, McKesson/HBOC, Philips Medical Systems, Shimadzu, Siemens, Toshiba, and TRW. The Company's Dicomit subsidiary serves the world's leading ultrasound manufacturers including Acuson, ATL and Toshiba.
