ImaGen Benefits Concurrent's ImaGen platform features the latest, industry-standard components from leading graphics suppliers, ensuring that application developers will have access to the best possible COTS image generation (IG) solutions. ImaGen servers feature multiple Intel(R) Xeon(TM) or AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Opteron processors and a range of tower or rackmount enclosures. ImaGen can be configured with a choice of powerful dual-monitor-capable graphics controllers such as those offered by NVIDIA, ATI (ATI Technologies Inc., Markham Ontario, http://ati.amd.com) A leading manufacturer of graphics chips and display adapters. Founded in 1985 by K. Y. Ho, Benny Lau and Lee Lau, ATI chips and boards are widely used by OEMs. and 3DLabs. Loaded with popular 3D visualization software like MultiGen-Paradigm's Vega Prime, DiSTI's GL Studio(TM), and OpenGL, ImaGen is the most flexible high-performance Linux-based graphics platform available today. ImaGen servers are powered by Concurrent's RedHawk(TM) Linux(R) real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. . RedHawk Linux is also featured on Concurrent iHawk(TM) multiprocessors, the industry's leading Linux environment for deterministic, real-time applications. RedHawk is compatible with the popular Red Hat(R) Linux distribution The Linux operating system packaged for customers for a fee. It includes the Linux kernel, essential operating system components from the GNU Project, an installation program, various open source utilities and applications, documentation and technical support. . State-of-the-Art Software Concurrent announced its ImaGen family of Linux-based servers earlier this year. The addition of Vega Prime on ImaGen further strengthens the company's exceptional, high-end imaging offerings. This advanced real-time 3D solution enables the simulation of objects (i.e. planes, automobiles, people) to move freely without constraint within the scene. Whether the environment is a flight simulator flight simulator, device providing a controlled environment in which a flight trainee can experience conditions approximating those of actual flight. A simulator generally consists of an enclosure housing a working replica of the interior of the cockpit of an or a city flythrough, the experience is user-defined at the moment of engagement, making it a truly interactive tool that meets the stringent requirements of rapid 3D application development and deployment. "MultiGen-Paradigm is a recognized leader of real-time 3D solutions, and Vega Prime software offered on the Concurrent ImaGen platform gives our customers the power and flexibility they need for rapid design and prototyping of simulation applications," said Ken Jackson Sir Ken Jackson (born 3rd March 1937) was the General Secretary of the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union (AEEU) from 1995 until that union's merger with the Manufacturing Science and Finance (MSF) union to form Amicus in 2001. , vice president of Concurrent Special Systems. "We are pleased to continuously expand and provide sophisticated, integrated solutions to our customers in the simulation and training industries." "MultiGen-Paradigm's Vega Prime is a tremendous tool for satisfying today's increasingly complex, real-time applications needed for the simulation industry," said Sandeep Divekar, president of MultiGen-Paradigm, Inc. "Collaborating with a leader like Concurrent enables us to deliver this progressive simulation solution to our customers."
