Is a Vector computer suitable for a compositing system. For example how would a NEC SX6 or a Cray do against an scalar computer (such an SGI machine)?
hello,
according to sgi’s plans they’re going to release a new platform after 2006.
it should be a hybrid risc-vector based machine.2 years are long so we’ll see how the market is at this time and what’s up with discreet.
but it sounds interesting…foetz wrote:hello,according to sgi’s plans they’re going to release a new platform after 2006.

The Altivec is a 128bit vector processor attached to the Scalar chip.
The G4 has 1.
The G5 has 2.
Also to be noted, IBM released today the Power5

i guess it’s too early to say something specific. but i don’t think sgi or any other company will
release a product that’s availible for over 2 years at the release date.
