Under the agreement, EADS Deutschland GmbH a leading simulation provider andOrad Deutschland GmbH will work together over the next 3 years in the supportand supply of high end image generator solutions for training and for flightsimulation. The partners will exchange their technology plans and shareresources in key demonstrations, focusing on the military and civilian aircraftindustries. As a first step EADS simulation acquired its first Orad scalable graphicscluster for the German Air Force's service and support centre in ManchingGermany for the Euro Fighter programme. Tim Otte, Senior Manager Simulation at EADS, said: "We are looking at ORAD asmore than a mere technology provider: their support and close cooperation giveus confidence that our future partnership will be very fruitful ". Orad's offering uses off-the-shelf technologies in graphics or PC componentstogether with proprietary elements to offer better antialiasing, performance anduser-friendliness. Using a unique technology of video compositing housed on theDVG VRX card, PC clusters can be designed with any number of graphic cardsworking in parallel to compute an infinite number of polygons and mapped pixels.The solution offers strong future-proofing, as individual components can beupgraded as soon as they become available on the market. In addition the VR-X Cluster Manager offers an easy to use GUI which allowsusers to re-configure the number of nodes per channel. "Such requirements are common to many industries, and this partnership with EADSshows that military or civilian simulation graphics can benefit from the samevisual features required in MCAD, design or virtual reality markets while notbearing the cost or time-to-market of a solution targeted purely at their narrowapplication" said Guillaume Otrage, Product Manager VR and Simulation at ORAD.
