Binar Graphics Revolutionizes Graphics Driver Industry -- Again; New Architecture Dramatically Increases Reliability While Maintaining Performance Edge.
SAN RAFAEL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 1996--Binar Graphics Inc. announces its Universe operating system independent device driver architecture.
Universe solves the problems created by the explosion in the number of operating systems and application programming interfaces (APIs) that graphics vendors must support. The architecture allows a company's software engineers to focus on the performance and quality of a single graphics driver, rather than diluting their efforts, and replicating their bugs, across multiple operating systems.
Universe is a single set of proven graphics primitives that support five operating systems. The routines are highly optimized for Microsoft's Windows 95, Windows NT and Windows 3.1 operating systems, as well as for IBM's OS/2 Warp 3.0 and Win-OS/2.
"Our industry has focused for years on one thing -- graphics performance," said Scott Vouri, president of Binar, "but that has come at the expense of end users.
"The relentless pursuit of better benchmark numbers coupled with the sheer number of graphics drivers each vendor must produce has created some of the poorest software in the PC industry. Our new architecture provides exceptional performance and the unrivaled quality that today's users deserve."
The unified nature of Binar Graphics' next-generation architecture also creates other benefits. After Binar's engineers optimize the graphics primitives for a particular graphics chip, all five operating systems come up at once -- providing faster time to market and reduced development costs for Binar's customers.
Binar Graphics will be unveiling Universe at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC), April 1 through April 3, at the San Jose Convention Center, Booth Number 531.
