Onyx2, codenamed Kego, is a family of visualization systems. It was developed and manufactured by SGI, and introduced in 1996 to succeed the Onyx. Onyx2 architecture is based on Origin 2000 server plus graphics hardware. In 2000, the Onyx2 was succeeded by the Onyx 3000, and it was discontinued on June 27, 2003
The RealityEngine2 is the original high-end graphics subsystem for the Onyx and was found in two different versions: deskside and rack. The deskside model has one GE10 (Geometry Engine) board with 12 Intel i860XP processors, up to four RM4 or RM5 (Raster Manager) boards, and a DG2 (Display Generator) board. [4]
The 512-CPU Origin 2800s cost roughly $40 million each and the delivery of the Origin 3000 systems, scalable up to 512 or 1024 CPUs at a lower price per performance, made the 512-CPU Origin 2800 obsolete. Several customers also bought 256-CPU Origin 2000 series systems, although they were never marketed as a product by SGI either.
SGI O2+ Workstation. The O2 is an entry-level Unix workstation introduced in 1996 by Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) to replace their earlier Indy series. Like the Indy, the O2 uses a single MIPS microprocessor and was intended to be used mainly for multimedia.
Created in 2003 by Joël Barrière, a.k.a. Titanium, the program was originally meant to address its creator's personal needs. Developed using Xcode, Apple's software development environment (Cocoa + AppleScript Studio + Objective-C), OnyX is regularly updated by its author taking into consideration users' suggestions and requests.
Solid surface material, also known as solid surface composite, [1] is a man-made material usually composed of a combination of alumina trihydrate (ATH), acrylic, epoxy or polyester resins and pigments. It is most frequently used for seamless countertop installations. A solid surface material was first introduced by DuPont in 1967 under the name ...
A B 36 cluster might be seen as smallest borophene; front and side view. Borophene is a crystalline atomic monolayer of boron and is also known as boron sheet.First predicted by theory in the mid-1990s in a freestanding state, [21] and then demonstrated as distinct monoatomic layers on substrates by Zhang et al., [22] different borophene structures were experimentally confirmed in 2015.
Spark trails from a cigarette lighter. Ferrocerium (also known in Europe as Auermetall) is a synthetic pyrophoric alloy of mischmetal (cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, other trace lanthanides and some iron – about 95% lanthanides and 5% iron) hardened by blending in oxides of iron and/or magnesium.
