Binar Graphics Revolutionizes Graphics Driver Industry -- Again; New Architecture Dramatically Increases Reliability While Maintaining Performance Edge.SAN RAFAEL San Rafael (săn rəfĕl`), residential city (1990 pop. 48,404), seat of Marin co., W Calif., a suburb of San Francisco on the northern shore of San Francisco Bay; inc. 1913. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 1996--Binar Graphics Inc. announces its Universe operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. independent device driver architecture. Universe solves the problems created by the explosion in the number of operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. and application programming interfaces (APIs) that graphics vendors must support. The architecture allows a company's software engineers to focus on the performance and quality of a single graphics driver, rather than diluting their efforts, and replicating their bugs, across multiple operating systems. Universe is a single set of proven graphics primitives that support five operating systems. The routines are highly optimized for Microsoft's Windows 95, Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. and Windows 3.1 operating systems, as well as for IBM's OS/2 Warp The client version of the OS/2 operating system. It includes peer-to-peer networking, fax and communications programs, multimedia viewing and editing applications and IBM Works (word processing, spreadsheet, database and other office tools). Introduced in late 1994 as Version 3. 3.0 and Win-OS/2. "Our industry has focused for years on one thing -- graphics performance," said Scott Vouri, president of Binar, "but that has come at the expense of end users. "The relentless pursuit of better benchmark numbers coupled with the sheer number of graphics drivers each vendor must produce has created some of the poorest software in the PC industry. Our new architecture provides exceptional performance and the unrivaled quality that today's users deserve." The unified nature of Binar Graphics' next-generation architecture also creates other benefits. After Binar's engineers optimize the graphics primitives for a particular graphics chip, all five operating systems come up at once -- providing faster time to market and reduced development costs for Binar's customers. Binar Graphics will be unveiling Universe at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference The Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) is the annual software developer-oriented trade show and business conference where Microsoft elaborates on its hardware plans for Microsoft Windows-compatible PCs. (WinHEC), April 1 through April 3, at the San Jose Convention Center, Booth Number 531. Leading Edge Software for Leading Edge Hardware Binar Graphics was founded in 1989 and revolutionized the PC graphics industry with the introduction of its WinSpeed optimized display driver technology. Since then it has grown into the world's largest independent provider of display and multimedia drivers for windowing For Northcoast Where we call someone over and then roll our window up on them.
