The Megatek ESPRIX -- X Windows Accelerator

accelerator for Sun Microsystems workstations.  It accelerates X
Windows, and draws over 600,000 vectors per second.  It has an 8 bit
color frame buffer, and resolution up to 1600 x 1024 pixels.  Mr.
Staiger will discuss various architectural issues, including the use of
shared memory, the use of the floating point accelerator, the frame
buffer, and more.  Hands-on interaction will be available.
