Shared Memory, Single system Image and Scalability
Bues adds , "We decided in favour of the SGI system due to its shared
memory architecture and single system image capability and, very importantly,
because we think that there will be an increasing number of industrial
customers who want to implement this kind of system. The architecture is so
attractive that it can enjoy popularity in VR environments at potential
project partners.

For various purposes, we also deploy a number of cluster

our opportunities. This applies to performance, since due to the high
bandwidth and low latency of the architecture the traditional bottlenecks
inherent in cluster networking are avoided. In particular, medium-sized firms which
previously had little or no access to visualization and computational
resources offered by Silicon Graphics Prism will have the opportunity to
exploit the productivity advantages of the IAO environment and even work with
the Institute to create pilot projects. Linux is a registered trademark of Linus

resulting in more mature products. "On one hand, an image quality with highly accurate rendering and high
resolution is necessary when we provide a visual of the interior with all
details of cushioning and cockpit via fine texturing and shading methods; on
the other hand, the visual simulation requires high frame rates in order to
provide a smoothly running outside world view to the interactive drive
simulation. This is also valid with respect to
programming, since inter-process communication is easier to structure and
organize and requires less overhead than in distributed memory architectures.
