Consumer electronics to hold largest size of
VPU market during forecast period
11 NATURE, show another difference: HIV-2 lacks the
vpu gene.
The scientists also found that HIV strains engineered to lack
vpu, which is made during infection, did not impair the immune response.
"3Dlabs revolutionized the workstation graphics industry when it delivered the first compiler-friendly
VPU and initiated the creation of the OpenGL Shading Language," said Hock Leow, president of 3Dlabs.
They applied to be transferred to the
VPU under a rule which allows prisoners to ask for protection from potential violence.
A photograph can be passed through additional processing, adding inputs from the
VPU to generate more realistic representations.
Cohen's team explained how the
Vpu viral protein prevents the expression of Tetherin, a host factor inhibiting HIV-1 release, on the surface of infected cells.Thus, if researchers manage to develop small molecules that prevent
Vpu binding to Tetherin, this would restore one of the natural defence mechanisms that prevent the production, transmission and spread of HIV-1.The study by Dr.
Bieniasz has suggested that the new insight into tetherin's and
Vpu's modes of action, however, may lead to the development of
Vpu blockers that could free up the innate host defense and inhibit HIV's spread.
Based on the new VP500SE Visual Processing Unit (
VPU) from 3Dlabs, the Creative Graphics Blaster Picture Perfect takes digital photography to the next level by enabling consumers to view pictures in ultra-high resolution, to stitch images together to create panoramic photos, and to apply multiple special effects.
Also, heralding a new era of cinematic-quality 3D graphics for Mac OS X, the RADEON 9800 PRO visual processing unit (
VPU) will be available as a build-to-order option on the Power Mac G5, while the RADEON 9600 PRO will be included in Apple's highest-end Power Mac G5 desktop.
An industry pioneer since 1985, ATI is the world's foremost visual processor unit (
VPU) provider and is dedicated to deliver leading-edge performance solutions for the full range of PC and Mac desktop and notebook platforms, workstation, set-top and digital television, game console and handheld markets.
