Silicon Graphics, often abbreviated as SGI, was an American company known for its high-performance computing and graphics solutions. Founded in 1981, SGI specialized in creating advanced workstations and servers that were widely used in industries such as film, animation, and scientific visualization. Their technology played a significant role in the development of computer-generated imagery (CGI) in movies. In the 1990s, SGI became famous for its powerful graphics hardware and software, which enabled artists and engineers to create stunning visual effects. However, as the market evolved and competition increased, SGI faced challenges and eventually filed for bankruptcy in 2006. Today, its legacy continues to influence modern graphics and computing technologies.
