Concurrent and DiSTI Enter Into Reseller Alliance for Real-Time Graphic Solutions for Modeling and Simulation; Concurrent to Offer DiSTI's GL Studio Software to Simulation Customers Through Worldwide Sales Channels.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 2003 Concurrent Computer Corporation  This article or section is written like an .Please help [ rewrite this article] from a neutral point of view. Mark blatant advertising for , using . (Nasdaq:CCUR CCUR Center for Crops Utilization Research ), Real-Time Division, today announced the signing of a reseller alliance that will make GL Studio(TM) software available on Concurrent's iHawk(TM) Series 860 systems through Concurrent's worldwide sales force. The agreement offers Concurrent's commercial and government simulation customers a robust, cost-effective Intel/Linux-based platform with high-quality rapid application development tools for creating real-time interactive 3D graphics. GL Studio(TM) is a rapid application development ("RAD") toolkit for building photo-realistic, interactive 3D graphical displays and simulations with real-time performance. Software features include fast 3D graphics, photo-realistic texture mapping In computer graphics, the application of a type of surface to a 3D image. A texture can be uniform, such as a brick wall, or irregular, such as wood grain or marble. The common method is to create a 2D bitmapped image of the texture, called a "texture map," which is then "wrapped around" and blending, joined with high-speed, flicker-free double buffered animation and generation of portable C++ and OpenGL source code. Business benefits include reduced cost of development/deployment, amazingly realistic graphics and reusable, portable components. Line art and poor quality cartoon-type graphics for user interfaces are a thing of the past. Concurrent's iHawk(TM) Series systems are powered by Intel Pentium Xeon(TM) processors and 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. . Based on the popular Red Hat(R) Linux 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. , RedHawk, is a POSIX-compliant, real-time enhanced version of the open source Linux kernel The nucleus of the Linux operating system. The Linux kernel, which was developed by Linus Torvalds, was integrated with software from the GNU Project and other sources to create the actual Linux operating system. See Linux, GNU/Linux and kernel. . iHawks are true symmetric multiprocessors (SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessing) A multiprocessing architecture in which multiple CPUs, residing in one cabinet, share the same memory. SMP systems provide scalability. As business increases, additional CPUs can be added to absorb the increased transaction volume. ) that are ideally suited for real-time applications. iHawk systems running RedHawk offer a streamlined solution for simulation, data acquisition, industrial system and control environments. Technical collaboration with DiSTI(R) offers Concurrent's iHawk Series customers the assurance of a high-level quality graphics solution from a partner with extensive simulation graphics experience. "We anticipate the business alliance with DiSTI will be a key element to Concurrent's strategy to fortify for·ti·fy v. for·ti·fied, for·ti·fy·ing, for·ti·fies v.tr. To make strong, as: a. To strengthen and secure (a position) with fortifications. b. To reinforce by adding material. its position as a systems integration solutions provider, specifically as a provider of integrated real-time graphics solutions," 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 Business Development. "DiSTI's graphics software combined with Concurrent's iHawk Series systems, real-time systems Real-time systems Computer systems in which the computer is required to perform its tasks within the time restraints of some process or simultaneously with the system it is assisting. integration experience and worldwide sales and support channel offer our simulation customers the graphics alternative that is needed in the marketplace. We are delighted to have formed this alliance." "Distributing GL Studio through Concurrent will broaden the visibility and availability of our product," said Joe Swinski, president of DiSTI. "Concurrent's RedHawk Linux environment is a great match for the type of customer base that uses GL Studio in the military and commercial markets. We look forward to working with their sales and technical team." About DiSTI(R) Distributed Simulation Technology was founded in 1994 to provide superior software, consulting and training to the Model and Simulation community. DiSTI(R) has trained thousands of engineers from a wide variety of simulation companies and government organizations on military simulation Military simulations, also known informally as war games, are simulations in which theories of warfare can be tested and refined without the need for actual hostilities. Many professional analysts object to the term wargames techniques. DiSTI(R) courses cover a wide range of simulation topics including the High Level Architecture, Distributed Interactive Simulation Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) is an open standard for conducting real-time platform-level wargaming across multiple host computers and is used worldwide especially by military organizations but also by other agencies such as those involved in space exploration and , SEDRIS SEDRIS Synthetic Environment Data Representation & Interchange Specification and several commercial simulation products developed by MAK Mak Falstaffian figure; categorically maintains his innocence.
