ATI® ATI FireGL™ X1-128 workstation graphics accelerator card 5 First Prize winners will get an ATI® ATI FireGL™ X1-128 workstation graphics accelerator card, with capabilities the average PC only dreams of having.

The Silicon Graphics Onyx4 system is the most powerful visualization system ever designed, featuring scalable multiprocessing and multiple ATI FireGL graphics processors all tied together with SGI’s unique high-bandwidth, shared memory NUMAflex™ architecture. It’s at the heart of some of the coolest visualization applications in the world - broadcast virtual sets, movie special effects, Air Force flight trainers, top-secret spy satellite visualization, car design and real-time brain imaging for advanced surgery.

Now, the best-of-the-best programmers will get free gear to help them take graphics further than ever before. We’re giving away these Onyx4 visualization systems and ATI FireGL workstation graphics cards to the people or institutions that submit the most advanced, earth shattering, or eye-catching visualization demos or code. It can be a stunning new technique leveraging the unique programmable vertex and pixel shaders of the ATI graphics processors used in the Onyx4, an astounding use of the Onyx4 system’s unique ability to handle tera-scale data sets, or simply the most visually appealing imagery you can dream up.
