“The breakthrough speed and cost advantages of Compaq’s 64-bit
Alpha platform and Tru64 UNIX address the computing intensive needs
of the most power-hungry computer-generated images. Compaq offers
rendering future-proof solutions running on both Tru64 UNIX and
Windows NT, as well as Linux.”
“For the second year in a row, Compaq Computer Corporation’s
(NYSE:CPQ) AlphaServers and Tru64 UNIX played a leading role in
films winning Academy Awards. What Dreams May Come, winner of the
Best Visual Effects Oscar, and the Bunny film, capturing the Oscar
for Best Animated Short Film, both relied on the power of Compaq
AlphaServers to produce the films. Last year’s winner of the Best
Visual Effects Oscar, Titanic, also utilized Alpha-based systems to
produce hundreds of computer-generated scenes.”
