Review: Appro
XtremeWorkstation mixes Opteron horsepower and superior
graphics at a nice price
This system would be exceptional as a CAD, imaging,
or video processing workstation. It would also be
perfect for running multiple virtualized operating
systems in a software development or testing environment,
even with a less powerful graphics card. The system
is remarkably quiet for the horsepower it provides,
and the case is heavy and well-built, with lots of
room for expansion as well as good cooling. |

Powers Oil and Gas Imaging for Staag
As the price
of producing a barrel of oil continues to skyrocket
and demand continues to outpace supply, oil and
gas companies today are looking at geographical
resources they previously considered uneconomical
for extraction sites. As new technologies such as
seismic imaging make it easier for engineers to
map underground oil deposits, companies like Staag
Imaging are improving image accuracy and reducing
the cost of extraction through new computing algorithms.
To run their new Reverse Time Algorithm and deliver
a more accurate image to help companies reduce the
costs associated with the drilling of dry holes,
the company needed a more compute intense platform
and began exploring 64-bit technology.
