Public Demonstrations
The first public demonstration of the Larrabee architecture took place at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco at September 22, 2009. An early Larrabee port of the former CPU-based research project Quake Wars: Ray Traced has been shown in real-time. The scene contained a ray traced water surface that reflected the surrounding objects like a ship and several flying vehicles accurately.
The second demo was given at the SC09 conference in Portland at November 17, 2009 during a keynote by Intel CTO Justin Rattner. A Larrabee card was able to achieve 1006 GFLops in the SGEMM 4Kx4K calculation.

Famous quotes containing the word public:
“There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense. In his scathing study of the nation’s public school system entitled “Savage Inequalities,” Jonathan Kozol made manifest the truth: that we have a system that discriminates against the poor in everything from class size to curriculum.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
