NVIDIA @ Siggraph Daily: Issue 4

NVIDIA Programmable Technologies in CATIA V5

NVIDIA® Corporation and Dassault Systemes have collaborated on the development of graphics technologies that enhance realism and visual quality, and accelerate the design review and rendering capabilities of Dassault Systemes' CATIA V5 and ENOVIA Portal products.

NVIDIA, the worldwide leader in visual processing solutions, assisted Dassault Systemes to add per pixel lighting to CATIA V5 and ENOVIA DMU Navigator to more accurately simulate real-world lighting conditions and improve the appearance of shaded models. In addition, the two products include enhanced interactive graphics performance and non-photorealistic shading for creating outlined images, primarily used for clarity in maintenance manuals and other documentation. All three programmable technologies expand the powerful shading capabilities of CATIA V5 and ENOVIA Portal.

Quadro4 Solutions Power OSC

The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) has purchased and deployed over 50 NVIDIA Quadro®4 900 XGL workstation graphics boards for an integrated visualization cluster used to research large scale (Terascale) visualizations.

Installed earlier this month in OSC's Blueprint for an Advanced Learning Environment (BALE) Theatre, the NVIDIA Quadro integrated graphics cluster has already been put to work, servicing the projects of Ohio's students, researchers, government and commercial businesses.
