Silicon Graphics is just an incredible place to work. They have some of the best engineers in the world and are dedicated to building the most advanced graphics products. I get to work with the latest tools and technology and there are new things to learn every day. It is hard not to be motivated. The challenge of solving hard problems.
Many people think of computer graphics as only being used for Hollywood special effects.
In reality, graphics is about enabling people to visualize information and ideas. It is used by doctors to analyze medical images, by pharmaceutical companies to develop new medicines, by scientists to study the environment and by manufacturing companies to design almost every product you can think of. As technology advances, it will become possible to have entire graphics systems on a chip. In just a few years we expect to have 40 million gates on a single chip running at very high speeds. There will be many advances in science and medicine as people start to harness this technology.
