NVIDIA RTX A2000 Makes RTX Technology Available to More Professionals

With its compact, power-efficient design, the new NVIDIA^® RTX^™ A2000 GPU fits more desktops while accelerating AI and ray tracing for design workflows.

The powerful real-time ray tracing and AI acceleration capabilities of NVIDIA’s RTX technology has transformed design and visualization workflows for the most complex tasks, like designing airplanes and automobiles, visual effects in movies and large-scale architectural design.

The ability to work effectively and effortlessly with a team of highly skilled colleagues is a decisive competitive advantage that leads to success. This is true on a basketball court or soccer field, but equally true and critical in a corporate environment, a movie special effect studio, or an architectural design firm. Due to COVID-19, today’s workforce is no longer centralized in a single location. It is very likely that your coworkers or business partners are spread across the country, if not across the world, so the ability of stakeholders to collaborate effectively is now a MUST HAVE for any corporation today.

NVIDIA Omniverse™ is an open platform built for virtual 3D design collaboration and real-time physically accurate simulation. Omniverse is comprised of multiple GPU accelerated applications and purpose-built connectors that allow Omniverse to work directly with third-party applications such as Unreal Engine from Epic Games, and popular creative tools from Autodesk, Adobe, Blender, Reallusion, Trimble, and more.

In this blog, we will go over the system requirements and the process to install Omniverse Open Beta inside a Windows 10 environment.

Today, we live in a data-centric world where information is constantly generated and transported from devices to data centers for storage and analysis. Technologies such as 5G networking and AI at the Edge further accelerate data generation and big data analytic needs. The sheer volume of data needing to be processed makes NVIDIA GPUs like the NVIDIA A100 the de-facto choice for processing enormous and exponentiating datasets. Modern data centers are composed of hundreds, if not thousands of NVIDIA^® GPUs, just to meet demand for generating actionable insights quickly from massive amounts of raw data.

To maximize the GPU utilization, data center operators must ensure data flows rapidly from storage to individual GPUs across the entire data center, which prevents GPUs from idly waiting for data to arrive. As GPU performance improves and GPU memory size (frame buffer) also expands, the demand for faster network throughput becomes mandatory as well. Today, up to 400 gigabits per second (400 Gb/s) transfer rates in both Ethernet and InfiniBand are available. At this speed, traditional methods of CPU-based data packet processing simply consume too much system resources and start to impact overall system performance. NVIDIA SmartNIC and Data Processing Unit, (DPU) solutions have dedicated data processors to offload data processing from CPUs, improving data availability and supporting advanced new technologies like GPUDirect that measurably boost overall data center processing capabilities.

PNY is excited to be an NVIDIA Networking product partner carrying and supporting both NVIDIA Ethernet and InfiniBand product categories, including NVIDIA ConnectX SmartNICs, NVIDIA BlueField DPUs, associated accessories, and NVIDIA Spectrum Network Switches, and LinkX transceivers and cables.

Dynamic Machines is a community-based 3D art contest where visual designers are challenged to build a computer generated Dynamic Machine. The goal is to guide a chrome ball from the starting platform, all the way to the finish line, any way you can imagine, with any 3D program. In the end, everyone’s Dynamic Machine will be combined into a single, rendered video.
