    SIGGRAPH 2007

    Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. offers a broad range of products and services designed to assist you with overcoming your computing challenges. Spanning systems, software, board-level products, services, and silicon IP, Mercury’s offerings and capabilities can be found all over the world.

    SIGGRAPH 2006

    Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. offers a broad range of products and services designed to help you overcome your computing challenges. Spanning systems, software, board-level products, services, and silicon IP, Mercury’s offerings and capabilities can be found all over the world.

    SIGGRAPH 2004

    Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. is a leading vendor of 3D graphics toolkits and applications for developers and end users, providing C++ and Java development toolkits for Open Inventor and amira.

    SIGGRAPH 1997

    Mercury exhibits its family of solutions that extends Advanced Workgroup Editing (AWE) capabilities to non-linear video editing suites. The family of Mercury Media Servers initially includes the MDVS hardware platform, with a range of performance options, and its revolutionary media workgroup software: SuiteFusion and LiteFusion.

    SIGGRAPH 1990

    Mercury Computer Systems offers high-performance embedded and attached computer systems for compute and I/O intensive applications. Mercury’s products, including the MC860 based on Intel’s 1860 microprocessor, dramatically enhance floating-point performance in such application areas as medical imaging, signal/image processing and analysis, simulation/training, and seismic analysis.

    SIGGRAPH 1989

    Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. manufactures and markets a family of programmable-attached processors for microcomputers and workstations. The MC family delivers near-supercomputer performance on a RISC-based single board solution which executes vector and scalar operation with 32-bit and 64-bit precision. C and Fortran Compilers and scientific algorithm library are also available.

    SIGGRAPH 1988

    The MC 3200 Series consists of single-board, completely software programmable co-processing systems for AT bus, VME bus and NuBus based workstations and microcomputers. Designed to accelerate the compute-intensive portions of any C or Fortran program, the MC 3200 products provide balanced scalar and vector performance at a rate of 20 Mflops/10 Mips. The MC 3200 may be used for most scientific and engineering applications.

    SIGGRAPH 1987

    Mercury Computer Systems develops and supplies high-speed co-processors and accelerators for compute intensive engineering and scientific applications. Its board-level products enable customers using PCs, workstations and embedded computer systems to run sophisticated signal and image processing applications, plus computer aided engineering, modeling/simulation and scientific computing tasks. A significant new product will be announced.

    SIGGRAPH 1986

    Mercury manufactures the ZIP 3200 Series array processors for real-time signal and image processing. The ZIP Series includes fixed and floating point processors on Q-bus, VMEbus and Multibus. The ZIPs are programmable in a C-like language, with libraries for signal and image processing functions available as well. The ZIP’s open-ended architecture allows for one to five ZIPs to be configured in a system for performance ranging from eight to 80 MFLOPS.

    SIGGRAPH 1985

    The ZIP 3200 programmable array processors include the 3216 (block floating point) optimized for signal & image processing, and the 3232 (floating point) optimized for scientific and graphic processing. They easily interface to popular micros, ccin acquire data either through a framegrabber on the host or directly from A/Ds, cameras, or Mercury’s ZIP Video I/O Converter.

    SIGGRAPH 1984

    Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. is a manufacturer of array processors for microcomputers wth applications in image, graphic, signal and scientific processing, This year Mercury introduced the first two products of its ZIP 3200 Series Array Processors, the ZIP 3216 and the ZIP 3232, which feature an innovative dual processor architecture executing 30 million instructions/computations per second and a software development environment which allows users to write, debug, and time ZIP programs on computers ranging from the IBM-PC to DEC’s VAX computer, without ZIP hardware. An extensive library of algorithms for image, vision, and graphic processing, callable via high level language commands is available.
