Whilst in the past, half a dozen companies might each have made a specialised chip to go into an advanced product like a TV or mobile phone, now it is more likely that one large semiconductor company will make a single chip that contains most, if not all, of that specialised knowledge. That’s where silicon IP, or ‘intellectual property’ comes in. Semiconductor companies can licence parts of a chip design from companies that specialise in those advanced technologies, instead of developing the technology themselves. They are especially likely to do this in new market areas.

Tarolli Interviewed by: Shayne Hodge Recorded: July 29, 2013 Mountain View, California CHM Reference number: X6887.2013 © 2013 Computer History Museum 3dfx Oral History Panel Shayne Hodge: OK. My name is Shayne Hodge. This is July 29, 2013 at the afternoon in the Computer History Museum. We have with us today the founders of 3dfx, a graphics company from the 1990s of considerable influence. From left to right on the camera-- I'll let you guys introduce yourselves. Gary Tarolli: I'm Gary Tarolli. Scott Sellers: I'm Scott Sellers. Ross Smith: Ross Smith. Gordon Campbell: And Gordon Campbell. Hodge: And so why don't each of you take about a minute or two and describe your lives roughly up to the point where you need to say 3dfx to continue describing them. Tarolli: All right. Where do you want us to start? Hodge: Birth. Tarolli: Birth. Oh, born in New York, grew up in rural New York. Had a pretty uneventful childhood, but excelled at math and science. So I went to school for math at RPI [Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute] in Troy, New York. And there is where I met my first computer, a good old IBM mainframe that we were just talking about before [this taping], with punch cards. So I wrote my first computer program there and sort of fell in love with computer. So I became a computer scientist really. So I took all their computer science courses, went on to Caltech for VLSI engineering, which is where I met some people that influenced my career life afterwards.

  • Opengl SC 2.0?

    Opengl SC 2.0?

    White Paper: Should You Be Using OpenGL SC 2.0? Introduction Ten years after the release of the first OpenGL® safety certifiable API specification the Khronos Group, the industry group responsible for graphics and video open standards, has released a new OpenGL safety certifiable specification, OpenGL SC 2.0. While both OpenGL SC 2.0 and the earlier safety critical OpenGL specification, OpenGL SC 1.0.1, provide high performance graphics interfaces for creating visualization and user interfaces, OpenGL SC 2.0 enables a higher degree of application capability with new levels of performance and control. This white paper will introduce OpenGL SC 2.0 by providing context in relationship to existing embedded OpenGL specifications, the differences compared to the earlier safety certifiable OpenGL specification, OpenGL SC 1.0.1 and an overview of new capabilities. Overview of OpenGL Specifications OpenGL Graphics Language (the GL in OpenGL) Application Programming Interfaces (API) is an open specification for developing 2D and 3D graphics software applications. There are three main profiles of the OpenGL specifications. OpenGL – desktop OpenGL ES – Embedded Systems OpenGL SC – Safety Critical From time to time the desktop OpenGL specification was updated to incorporate new extensions which are widely supported by Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) vendors reflecting new GPU capabilities. The embedded systems OpenGL specification branches from the desktop OpenGL specification less frequently and is tailored to embedded system needs. The safety critical OpenGL specification branches from the embedded systems OpenGL specifications and is further tailored for safety critical embedded systems. Figure 1 shows the high level relationship between the OpenGL specifications providing cross-platform APIs for full-function 2D and 3D graphics on embedded systems.
