AIl - My Little ScrewDriver Buddy !!! Re: ""Mainstream apps are not going to be compiled for P4 for a long time"" Well - other applications sure are being re-written for the Pentium 4. Tuesday January 2, 6:30 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: Advanced Visual Systems Inc. Business Visualization Software From Advanced Visual Systems Features Improved Graphics Performance on Pentium 4 Processor-based Systems WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Visual Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: MUZE - news), a ten-year veteran and leader in the field of computer graphics for business and industry, today announced breakthrough results of graphics performance tests conducted on Intel's new Pentium® 4 processor-based workstations. Interactive, Web-based 3D software applications developed with AVS' OpenViz® visualization platform performed significantly faster on Pentium 4 processor-based systems than on other systems, paving the way for what AVS anticipates is an upcoming boom in computer graphics on the business desktop. Examples of OpenViz-enabled Pentium 4 processor-based systems performance were recently featured at the Comdex exhibition as part of Intel's microprocessor technology showcase. Comdex demonstrations included a Web browser-based application that visualized consumer behavior from a large warehouse of e-commerce clickstream data. The highly interactive OpenViz application illustrated how corporate decision makers can quickly identify critical business patterns, trends and anomalies from large and diverse data sources using interactive visualization techniques, and typifies the process that AVS and Intel customers are moving towards for decision support, data analysis and enterprise-wide content deliver. Examples of OpenViz visualization can be downloaded at www.openviz.com . According to Melanie Ziegler, Vice President of Product Development for AVS, ``We are extremely impressed with the improved graphics rendering and overall visualization performance of OpenViz applications on Pentium 4 processor-equipped PCs. The Pentium 4 processor definitely provides faster, more enthusiastic system response and absolutely enhances the user experience when large volumes of data are being visualized and manipulated using OpenViz.'' Ziegler added, ``AVS has eagerly awaited a new generation of affordable, high-performance microprocessors that will genuinely empower business desktop users to embrace today's computer graphics revolution. We designed OpenViz to deliver exceptional graphics performance despite some of the limitations of current technology-but Intel's Pentium 4 processor vitalizes the desktop experience and establishes a new dimension in potential for decision makers in every industry that we serve.'' ``Compelling data visualization, taking full advantage of the internet, and optimizing for Intel Architecture based processor systems are key ingredients for next generation e-Business solutions,'' said Phil De La Zerda, e-Business Solutions Marketing Manager for Intel,`` We are pleased to see that Advanced Visual Systems has been working in all of these areas and is announcing that they are ready to take full advantage of the unprecedented performance that Pentium 4 processor based systems have to offer.'' OpenViz utilizes a client-side plug-in architecture to deliver lightweight and highly interactive ActiveX controls and Java applets that permit users to directly manipulate information using a host of specialized features such as scalable scroll bars and filter planes. OpenViz users can drill down on charts and graphs for relational and multidimensional analysis of data sets; pan, zoom or rotate 3D objects; use animation to see data over time; and apply a number of sophisticated analysis techniques such as threshold analysis, data reduction and aggregation. A powerful server-side architecture enables the generation of high-resolution images that can be included in Web pages and popular office suite documents and embedded in standalone runtime applications. In addition to OpenViz, AVS and MUSE Technologies offer a full line of visualization software products and professional services that can take advantage of the power and potential of Intel's Pentium 4 processor.
