Yarc Systems Corporation

SIGGRAPH 1994

YARC is introducing the “Hydra”, a NuBus accelerator board powered by four PowerPC 601 microprocessors designed to accelerate rendering and raytracing. Also being introduced is Shade III, a powerful full-featured 3D package that includes modeling, render-ing/raytracing, and animation as well as distributed rendering, SGI, and YARC acceleration support.

SIGGRAPH 1993

YARC Systems Corporation will introduce a new line of high-performance coprocessor systems based on the PowerPC. YARC’s RISC-based coprocessors are used worldwide by leading professional graphic designers. Performance demonstrations will be presented by: Byte by Byte, DanRip, Gryphon Software, PIXAR, Specular International, VideoFusion, and VIDI.

SIGGRAPH 1992

3D rendering at workstation speed…on a Macintosh with a Yarc RISC board. See YARCRenderMan, a high-speed upgrade for Pixar’s MacRenderMan, running on a single YARC board four to six times faster than a Quadra 900, with multiple boards giving even greater speed increases. Also see other accelerated products, including Presenter Professional and Sculpt 4D.

SIGGRAPH 1991

Yarc Systems demonstrates its advanced line of high-performance AMD 29050 RISC co-processor systems, ATSprinter, NUSprinter, MacRageous, and ATM. These systems deliver supercomputing performance to the PC/AT, Macintosh II, and PS/2 personal computers. Yarc features software from Digital Arts, Systems Soft’s SHADE, and Software Construction’s X-Script.

SIGGRAPH 1990

Yarc Systems produces coprocessor systems which bring supercomputer performance to the desktop. RISC, CISC and Parallel architectures are available with memory up to 40 MBytes for the PC/ AT, Macintosh II family and IBM PS/2. Application targets include 3D graphics, ray tracing, animation, CAE, image processing, and any other numerically intensive programs. Yarc offers optimizing compilers for “C” and FORTRAN.
