Furthermore, amira allows the accurate reconstruction of 3D models from image data, e.g. for surgical planning, prosthesis design, reverse engineering, prototyping, and similar applications. TGS graphics solutions are widely used by professionals in microscopy, biology, neuroscience, medical research, geoscience, oil & gas, material science, visual simulation, engineering, and many other areas.
With the increasing accuracy of 3D scanning technology and with the growing complexity of interactive 3D simulation, interactive visual processing of very large data is one of the most important requirements by TGS customers today. The AMD64 architecture provides excellent processor performance, large memory address space, as well as high-speed and low-latency memory and I/O bandwidth through HyperTransport™ technology. Furthermore, the native 32-bit backward-compatibility enables customers to use existing 32-bit software along with true 64-bit products. By combining AMD64 processors with top-of-the-line AGP-based graphics accelerators and other high-end components, the Fujitsu-Siemens Celsius V810 is a truly professional and stunningly powerful 3D graphics workstation.
“The Celsius V810 workstation is a perfect combination of AMD64 architecture with high-end 3D graphics. It will enable our customers to push the limits of interactively mastering vast amounts of data right on the desktop, and provides an easy way for a soft migration from 32-bit to 64-bit”, said Malte Westerhoff, CTO applications of TGS.
“The Fujitsu-Siemens Celsius™ V810 workstation, based on the AMD Opteron processor and the advanced 3D graphics software from TGS, offers even the most demanding workstation customers unparalleled performance and compatibility,” said Ben Williams, director of server/workstation business segment, AMD’s Microprocessor Business Unit. “Workstation customers now have native support for both 32- and 64-bit applications as they model and render graphical information from extremely large data sets.”
Product Availability
Open Inventor 4.0 and amira 3.1 will be shortly available on Linux for AMD64 in a pre-beta version for selected customers. The official release of the TGS software is scheduled for Q1 2004. Both products will support Windows as well as Linux in 64 bit.
