Sure, gamers might shell out lots of many for overclocked behemoth computer systems loaded with graphics cards and storage, and hooked up to enough audio gear to heat a small home. But gamers aren't the only ones who get big toys: computer maker Hewlett-Packard has taken the wraps off its new xw9000 workstation, and while it's aimed at high-end applications like 3D modelling, oil and gas exploration, scientific visualization, if… Read More

A researcher at the University of Maryland’s engineering school has created a prototype of a parallel processor that could represent a way around the speed barriers that conventional serial processors have recently hit. Uzi Vishkin claims his net of 64 processors cranking away at 75Mhz individually is capable of computing speeds 100 times faster than current desktops. Parallel processing is a way of breaking down a task so that many… Read More

The full-featured widescreen HDTV-capable LCD display features an integrated NTSC tuner, advanced video processing and integrated audio system at a retail price of $1,199. The Maxent 26-inch WXGA LCD Display (MX-26X3), which boasts a physical resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, incorporates MotionDSC(r) video processing, providing 3:2 and 2:2 pull-down, digital noise reduction, and IIS(tm) (Intelligent Image Scaling) Engine for… Read More

This card contains all of the video processing circuitry necessary for superb image reproduction. In addition, several significant improvements have been engineered into the Vivix processing circuitry. Orthogonal line processing and deinterlacing have been incorporated, and a sophisticated video decoder is used that compensates for time-base errors commonly found in analog sources such as video tape. These new orthogonal algorithms… Read More
