High-Level Graphics Computing Migrates to Desktop Machines

摘要

A series of desktop central processing units combines the attributes of workstations and personal computers into a single platform. The new hardware can bring detailed imagery and graphics manipulation into the hands of more users throughout government and the military at prices comparable to those of mid-level personal computers. This development especially opens up new intelligence applications. The number of people able to view and manipulate advanced intelligence imagery could increase by an order of magnitude. This capability could change the way crucial information is allocated among users by introducing a whole new level of customers to real-time visual intelligence data.
