#SILICON GRAPHICS SERIES#

A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more.

Rackable announced their adoption of “Silicon Graphics International” as their global name and brand.Īfter the Rackable acquisition, Vizworld magazine published a series of six articles that chronicle the downfall of SGI. On April 1, 2009, SGI filed for Chapter 11 again, and announced that it would sell substantially all of its assets to Rackable Systems. In the mid-2000s the company repositioned itself as a supercomputer vendor, a move that also failed. SGI made several attempts to address this, including a disastrous move from their existing MIPS platforms to the Intel Itanium, as well as introducing their own Linux-based Intel IA-32 based workstations and servers that failed in the market. The porting of Maya to other platforms is a major event in this process. With growing financial issues in 1999, SGI changed their logo from the iconic cube to the stylized “sgi”.īut with erosion of the graphics market share to other systems, coupled with poor decision making, losses continued.

The plate at the bottom (not shown) reads: “In Celebration of 20 Years of innovation. Real sculpture of the SGI logo, at its headquarter in Mountain View, California, USA. The logo was made into a lovely sculpture shown below. His work done at the time is available via the Wayback Machine. The logo was created by graphics designer Scott Kim. The SGI cube was sgi’s hallmark and trademark.

SGI computers created special effects on the movie Jurassic Park (1993), at the time the graphics were state of the art.

Founded in Mountain View, California in November 1981 by Jim Clark, its initial market was 3D graphics computer workstations, but its products, strategies and market positions developed significantly over time. They were regarded as the pinnacle of computer graphics in the early 1990s. Silicon Graphics, Inc. (later rebranded SGI, historically known as Silicon Graphics Computer Systems or SGCS) was an American high-performance computing manufacturer, producing both hardware and software. PCs and Macs have not always been the graphics workstations used today.
