“PEX”
Description:
Demonstration At SIGGRAPH ’91, for the first time, commercially available 3D graphics applications will be demonstrated on a multivendor network of systems, ranging from PEX terminals to workstations to supercomputers. (PEX is the 3D extension to the X Window System.) Several SIGGRAPH exhibitors have joined forces — as part of the MIT X Consortium — to present solutions for distributing 3D graphics applications across multiple dissimilar computing platforms using the X Window System. Companies participating in the demonstration sponsored by the PEX Interoperability Committee include: CONVEX, Digital Equipment, Evans & Sutherland, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Kubota, ShoGraphics, Stardent, Sun Microsystems, and Tektronix. All companies participating in the PEX demonstration will be networked on the SIGGRAPH exhibition floor, so attendees can visit any of their booths to witness this important demonstration. Additional demonstration details and complete schedules are available from the PEX Interoperability Committee, booth 1613 (see page 100).
