(NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ATYT ATYT ATI Technologies, Inc (stock symbol) )(TSX TSX Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE before April, 2002) TSX Transfer from Stack Pointer to Index TSX True Space Extension :ATY ATY Air Textured Yarn (textile) ATY Watertown, SD, USA (Airport Code) ATY After-Tax Yield ) today announced that the FireGL(TM) Z1-128p workstation graphics accelerator is available on IA-32 based HP Workstations xw5000, xw6000 and xw8000. The high bandwidth architecture and parallel processing power of the FireGL Z1-128p, combined with the high-performance HP workstations, are designed to deliver superior quality and outstanding performance for power-hungry CAD users. The FireGL Z1-128p is powered by ATI's innovative FGL 1. FGL - Flow Graph Lisp. A distributed dataflow language for AMPS (Applicative Multi-Processing System). "A Loosely-Coupled Applicative Multi-Processing System", R. Keller et al, NCC, AFIPS June 1979, pp.613- 622. 2. FGL - Function Graph Language. Related to FEL. (TM) 9500 Visual Processing Unit (VPU), which integrates a 128-bit floating point rendering pipeline with four geometry engines and four parallel pixel pipes. It also features 128MB of DDR memory, dual DVI output, and an AGP Pro 50 bus. "The HP systems with ATI's FireGL Z1-128p are excellent solutions for CAD users running leading design automation applications such as Pro/ENGINEER(R) Wildfire, SolidWorks(R) and Catia(R)," said Dinesh Sharma, Director of Workstation Products, ATI Technologies Inc. "ATI's FireGL Z1-128p now joins the FireGL X1-256p launched in February, extending the range of certified graphics options for HP customers," said Jim Zafarana, Vice President and Worldwide Marketing Manager, HP Workstation Global Business Unit. "HP's IA-32 based workstations combined with ATI's FireGL accelerators are designed to provide the power, reliability and image quality required by professional users on both Windows and Linux operating systems."
