Sbs Technologies (NASDAQ:SBSE)
Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
ALT Software has been selected by SBS Technologies(R) to
provide COTS OpenGL drivers to their customers for the SBS G2 PMC
graphics processor family. ALT's drivers provide high performance
3D/2D display capabilities in military and commercial aircraft
cockpits, industrial controls, telematics and infotainment systems,
and other human machine interface devices. The SBS G2 PMC graphics
display controller family utilizes the powerful 3D graphics processing
power of ATI Technologies' popular Mobility Radeon 9000 ('M9') chip
used in today's high-end notebook computers, on a PMC module. The
result is embedded devices that boast performance near that of
high-end desktop workstations. The PMC module offers advanced 3D/2D
graphics and functionality such as video capture, independent dual
monitor support, and 'video to SBC' capability.
ALT provides advanced software products for cockpit and
helmet-mounted displays, moving map systems and other avionics devices
with advanced performance requirements. The ALT drivers allow SBS
customers to enable their hardware to support content rich 3D and 2D
graphics and also provide an upgrade path for avionics clients from
general purpose to DO-178B Level A certifiable drivers as their needs
change.
A key deciding factor for SBS in selecting ALT's drivers was their
ease of deployment on different system configurations. ALT Software
driver kits accommodate a variety of operating systems, bus
architectures, graphics ASICs, and processor combinations. OS and
processors supported for use with the G2 PMC module include
VxWorks(R), INTEGRITY(R), Windows(R) XP, and Linux(R) on Intel(R) and
PowerPC(R) processors. For customers with an unsupported requirement,
such as a proprietary RTOS or a different processor, the driver's
modular architecture allows ALT to modify the applicable module as
required, as opposed to creating an entirely new driver. This
translates into shorter development time and lower driver development
costs for SBS customers.
"ALT Software is an industry leader in OpenGL driver technology.
When we considered the alternatives to providing quality drivers for
the G2 family for a wide range of operating systems and with a strong
path to DO-178, SBS chose to support our customers with ALT's tried
and proven OpenGL products and professional services," said Frank
Willis, V.P. of Business Development, SBS Technologies' Government
Group.
"ALT Software has been developing drivers for both the embedded
and desktop markets for over 10 years. It is exciting to be bringing
this level of 3D and 2D desktop graphics performance to SBS' G2 family
of PMC modules," said Chris Brady, president of ALT Software.
