ATI to explain trilinear filtering in live chat today.

Markham (ON) - Being accused of using driver cheats to increase the performance of its newest graphics chips, while compromising image quality, ATI has decided to discuss this issue in an open live chat today. In ATI"s opinion, trilinear filtering algorithms are an "intelligent" way to increase performance without affecting image quality. In a brief statement, ATI said that it would "clear this up" by holding the live web chat on May 19 at 3pm EST, 9pm CET. Andy Pomianowski, staff engineer, and architect of ATI"s image analysis and compression algorithms, as well as Raja Koduri, engineering manager, graphics architecture and performance tools, one of ATI"s experts on performance and image quality will be available to answer questions at www.ati.com/online/chat In earlier statements, ATI said that the objective of trilinear filtering was to make transitions between mipmap levels as near to invisible as possible. "As long as this is achieved, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to implement the filtering," the company said.

ATI and Nvidia gearing up to face Intel's new Broadwater chipsets.
In order to offset the impact of Intel"s planned launch of its Graphic Media Accelerator- (GMA-) integrated Broadwater chipsets by the second quarter of next year, ATI Technologies has accelerated production of its R580, an upgrade of its current 90nm flagship chip, while Nvidia is scheduled to roll out three new 90nm graphics processor units (GPUs) by the latter half of the first quarter of 2006, according to sources at Taiwan graphics card makers.

The world's fastest nano-optical shutter.
Physicists from several U.S. labs have clocked the transition of vanadium dioxide nanoparticles from a transparent to a reflective, mirror-like state, at less than 100 femtoseconds (a tenth of a trillionth of a second). According to this Vanderbilt University report, this effect has a size limit: "it does not occur in particles that are smaller than about 20 atoms across (10 nanometers)." This opens the door - if I can say so - to windows that are transparent at low temperatures and block out sunlight when the temperature rises. But other applications are possible, such as nanosensors which could measure the temperature at different locations within human cells, or "ultrafast" optical switches which could be used in communications and optical computing.
