    Computing in the fast lane (Panel): Supersystems for computer graphics

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    The fast generation of complex synthetic images by digital computing systems requires immense computational resources, which can be provided by several means. Supercomputers, flight simulators and special purpose image synthesis architectures will be examined and compared by the panel. Each of these systems represents the very high end of the computational spectrum, with performance measured in hundreds of millions of operations per second.
