<< But the best thing about relying on SGI technology "is the solidity of the overall platform, which has really made SGI workstations attractive to us over the years," Wexler attests. "The most powerful features of the SGI systems are their robustness, their stability, and the total solution that they provide in terms of being able to integrate three-dimensional graphics, video, and audio." While Shrek relied on a great deal of traditional SGITM IRIX® hardware, it was also the first DreamWorks production to embrace Linux® technology. Linux OS-compatible platforms from SGI helped make PDI/DreamWorks's transition as painless as possible. "We've traditionally been on IRIX operating systems and have used a wide variety of SGI machines for a long time," Wexler reiterates. "Our SGI machines gave us an advantage in terms of being able to port software to Linux before the work on Shrek started." >>
