Silicon Graphics
Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) is a company
manufacturing
high-performance computing

and
software
. SGI was founded by
Jim Clark
and Abbey Silverstone in 1982, initially as a maker of
3D graphics
display terminals. SGI’s products, strategies and market positions have varied. Its initial products were based on the
Geometry Engine
that Clark and Marc Hannah had developed at
Stanford University
, and derived from Clark's broader background in
computer graphics
. The Geometry Engine was the first VLSI implementation of a
geometry pipeline
: specialized hardware that accelerated the "inner-loop" geometric computations needed to display
three-dimensional
images.
