    SIGGRAPH 1992

    Convex Computer Corporation manufactures supercomputers for scientists, engineers, and technical users. By integrating high-speed computational capability with powerful visualization software, Convex delivers visual results for the large data sets resulting from the most challenging technical problems. Convex supplies distributed visualization for the full range of graphics workstations, X terminals, and PEX- capable graphics devices.

    SIGGRAPH 1991

    Convex, the leader in affordable supercomputing, is demonstrating a system from its C3 Series that includes the highend C3800 family, the departmental C3400 family, and the low-cost C3200 fam ily. Convex offers customers the broadest range of air-cooled supercomputers and the largest library of UNIX-based, thirdparty applications software in the industry.

    SIGGRAPH 1990

    Convex Computer Corporation demonstrates a new family of products supplying fully integrated visualization solutions utilizing the combination of Convex Supercomputers and X-terminals or graphics workstations. These products provide support to a wide range of computationally intensive engineering and scientific applications, including structural analysis, crash simulation, computational chemistry, seismic processing, and computational fluid dynamics.

    SIGGRAPH 1989

    Convex Computer Corporation demonstrates its C Series supercomputers running several computationally intensive graphics applications including computer animation, signal and image processing, CFD, and more. C Series supercomputers offer users scalar, vector, and parallel processing for fast turnaround, huge physical memory for large applications, and connectivity to graphics workstations for integrated visualization.

    SIGGRAPH 1988

    CONVEX Computer Corporation demonstrates its C Series supercomputers running several computationally intensive graphics applications including computer animation, image processing and scientific visualization. C Series supercomputers offer users scalar, vector and parallel technology for fast processing, huge physical memory for large applications, and high-speed connectivity to graphics devices.

    SIGGRAPH 1987

    Convex will demonstrate the Convex C1 supercomputer running Ray Tracing Corporation’s software which solves design problems in computer animation, radar, sonar, mission planning, image and signal processing, optical research and molecular modeling. By using the Convex CTs large contiguous memory and integrated vector processing, Ray Tracing Corporation has achieved 30X performance over scalar superminicomputers.
