CEI Adds Windows Vista Support, Expanding Visualization Suite's Portfolio of Supported Operating Systems.APEX, N.C. -- Computational Engineering Computational engineering is a relatively new discipline of engineering. It is typically offered as a masters or doctorate program at several institutions. This is not to be confused with computer engineering (related to building computers). International (CEI CEI Competitive Enterprise Institute CEI Conferenza Episcopale Italiana (Italian bishop conference) CEI Central European Initiative CEI Comitato Elettrotecnico Italiano (Italian Electrotechnical Committee) ) announced today support for Windows Vista The current version of Windows for the desktop. It was released in late 2006 for businesses and early 2007 for consumers. Vista adds numerous features, including improved security and advanced multimedia capabilities. across its suite of visualization products. Both the 32- and 64-bit versions of Vista join the company's extensive portfolio of supported platforms and can now interoperate with any other supported 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. , thanks to CEI's flexible cross-platform architecture. CEI's suite of engineering and scientific tools includes applications for all aspects of visualization, from plotting to animation. "We're pleased to give our users the ability to take advantage of Vista's full functionality, including its improved user interface, heightened security, enhanced interoperability, and stronger 64-bit integration," said Darin McKinnis, vice president of sales & marketing at CEI. "And there's no need to worry about platform compatibility, because as always, users can freely mix any and all supported platforms when using our applications." CEI's architecture allows users of Vista, or any other platform, to run all of the company's applications across networked computers and across multiple platforms Refers to two or more operating environments, which typically include the CPU family and operating system. For example, if versions of a program run on Windows and the Macintosh, the software is said to support multiple platforms. , enabling users to mix platforms within a single visualization session, within a workgroup, or across an entire corporate network. Currently, CEI supports the latest versions of Linux (including 32- and 64-bit versions and Itanium), AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) IBM's Unix-based operating system which runs on its Intellistation workstations and pSeries, p5, iSeries and i5 server families. , HPUX HPUX Hewlett-Packard Unix , IRIX A Unix-based operating system from SGI that is used in its computer systems from desktop to supercomputer. It is an enhanced version of Unix System V Release 4. IRIX integrates the X Window system with OpenGL, creating the first real time 3D X environment. , Solaris, Tru64, Windows (32- and 64-bit versions) and Mac OS X. CEI allows users of all supported platforms to take advantage of full functionality. CEI's licensing model is platform-independent. Users of any major platform within an existing CEI customer site can simply install EnSight and contact the network administrator to obtain the license key to use the software. To ensure complete compatibility, Vista users will need to install the latest version of all CEI applications before running them on Vista. Users running Vista will require EnSight 8.2.4a or later. Updates are available in the download area of www.ensight.com. For peak performance of all products running on Vista, CEI recommends installing the 64-bit version of Vista. In addition, it is recommended that users update graphic card drivers from the appropriate manufacturer's site for optimal performance after installing Vista.
