Transitive® Corporation’s QuickTransit®™ Software Released to Production in Silicon Graphics Prism Visualization System for Linux

Transitive Successfully Completes First Customer Beta Program

Los Gatos, Calif. – May 24, 2005 – Transitive Corporation, the leading provider of software that enables transportability of applications across multiple processor and operating system pairs, today announced that its QuickTransit® software is now shipping in production on the Silicon Graphics Prism™ advanced visualization system from SGI (NYSE: SGI). QuickTransit®, which Transitive launched in September 2004, allows software applications compiled for one processor and operating system to run on another processor and operating system without any source code or binary changes.

In October 2004, Transitive announced SGI as its first customer and that QuickTransit® would be included as a standard component on the Silicon Graphics Prism platform. QuickTransit® enables Silicon Graphics Prism users to transparently run any application that currently runs on SGI® systems based on the MIPS® processor and IRIX® operating system on the new Silicon Graphics Prism system, which is based on the Intel® Itanium® 2 processor and Linux® OS. QuickTransit® also retains full functionality and performance levels that typically exceed native speeds on existing MIPS platforms. As a result, it significantly accelerates the availability of a broad range of independent software vendor (ISV) and customer-written applications on the Silicon Graphics Prism platform.

“Production shipment of QuickTransit® marks a major milestone for Transitive,” said Bob Wiederhold, President and CEO of Transitive Corporation. “We expect to continue to announce additional customers and ISV support throughout the year.”

“QuickTransit® provides existing SGI customers an easy and transparent migration to the new Silicon Graphics Prism platform, as well as improved price performance over older legacy IRIX based systems,” said Shawn Underwood, Director, Visual Systems Group at SGI. “We are confident that offering QuickTransit® on every Silicon Graphics Prism system will significantly improve the transition to the new platform by increasing the number of ISV and customer-written applications available on Silicon Graphics Prism.”
