Redefine high-performance with an uncompromising desktop series! The Sun Ultra 1 series with Creator and Creator3D technology, uniprocessor desktop workstations that combine exceptional processor speed, high-bandwidth networking, accelerated graphics, and outstanding application performance. The Ultra 1 series with Creator3D technology brings you all the fast image processing and MPEG video decompression of Creator graphics, plus accelerated 24-bit, double- and Z-buffered 3D rendering. Sun's 24-bit, single-buffered 2D graphics and imaging enables you to pan, zoom, rotate, convolve, and perform color conversion at unprecedented speeds. The UltraSPARC Port Architecture (UPA) is a crossbar-switched interconnect that enables multiple simultaneous data transfers. All the Ultra 1 systems are built around the same core technology, the UltraSPARC-I microprocessor. These workstations combine high processor speeds with an efficient four-way superscalar design for unprecedented desktop performance.Creator and Creator3D graphics, tightly coupled to the processor through the UPA interconnect, allow the entire system to act as a graphics engine, utilizing floating-point processor speed, VIS capabilities, and memory capacity to their fullest. At the same time, 3D-RAM technology combines the best features of DRAM, SRAM, and VRAM onto one chip. The UltraSPARC processors' revolutionary Visual Instruction Set (VIS) is the industry's most flexible and comprehensive array of on-chip multimedia, graphics, and imaging technologies. Because these systems are designed for compute-intensive and visualization- demanding applications, key ISVs are signing up to further develop the company's innovative UltraComputing technology. For MCAD, EDA, oil and gas exploration, software development, medical imaging, and ETCA, as well as rendering with Adobe Photoshop and Web publishing, you won't find better, more economical solutions than Sun's Ultra 1 Creator and Creator3D series.This product allows you to upgrade from SPARCstation 20.
