SOLIDWORKS is a computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) application from Dassault Systèmes. This highly versatile and capable software lets designers quickly sketch out ideas, experiment with different features, and produce models or detailed engineering drawings.

In SOLIDWORKS 2019, Dassault Systèmes introduced an experimental feature that offloads additional rendering operations from the CPU to powerful NVIDIA^® GPUs. It’s called “Enhanced graphics performance” under the “Performance” sub-menu. By leveraging NVIDIA Quadro’s Open GL 4.5 hardware acceleration, this setting adds significant improvement during pan, zoom and rotate in the part or assembly environment. The performance scales up with higher end graphics cards, so it is ideally suited to High-end and beyond NVIDIA Quadro^® RTX^™ and NVIDIA RTX professional graphics products.

Adobe embraced NVIDIA^® Quadro^® GPU acceleration with their Mercury Playback Engine in 2010. Essentially, Adobe redesigned their entire video rendering and playback engine to harness the NVIDIA CUDA parallel processing architecture. The result was a fluid, real-time editing experience for adding additional effects, multiple layers, or ultra-high-resolution content. Now, ten years later, Adobe continues to enhance GPU accelerated features across Adobe Creative Cloud and other essential Adobe applications, and they are committed to bringing RTX™ technology and AI to their vast and vibrant user community, all while leveraging NVIDIA RTX technology.

VIVE Pro Secure Opens VR to Sensitive Government and Commercial Proprietary IP Environments

The demand for VR across government organizations is increasing and will continue to grow as agencies adapt many of the best practices developed and deployed across the private sector for use in training, data visualization, and manufacturing, among other use cases. A major obstacle to any technology – including VR – for adoption by organizations that require ATO (Authority To Operate) is access to hardware that meets strict and specific security and privacy requirements. The new VIVE Pro Secure is the first VR HMD and system that delivers specific hardware modifications to provide optimal performance, features and capabilities in the most demanding and strict secure environments.

Qualified for the data center, the NVIDIA^® RTX^™ Server  offers powerful virtual workstations capable of running demanding professional applications and workflows when used with NVIDIA Quadro Virtual Data Center Workstation (Quadro vDWS) software. With NVIDIA RTX Server and Quadro vDWS in the data center all of the features, benefits, and power of Quadro RTX are available on-demand. Engineers, artists, architects and other professionals working remotely can access virtual workstations that support the latest in computer graphics, enabling them to run CAD, PLM rendering and simulation applications. With NVIDIA GPU virtualization, multiple users (virtual machines) are able to share GPU resources for lighter workloads and, for more demanding workloads, a user can access a full or even multiple GPUs. Using easy-to-use management tools, the enterprise IT department is able to improve scalability and optimize utilization of their GPU resources to meet the needs of more employees while also improving user productivity.

During this unprecedented period of Covid-19, many of us have found ourselves transitioning from the familiar bustling office environments to our not so quiet-and-quaint home settings. We are now sharing our office spaces not with our professional coworkers, but with family members and pets. Our homes are also not as insulated from the exterior as commercial office buildings. Street noises, and friendly neighbors doing their yard work are new challenges to our daily office lives.

These changes make it difficult to participate in online meetings quietly, forcing attendees to constantly switch between mute and unmute during meetings to prevent unwanted noises leaking into the conversations.

NVIDIA RTX Voice is a stand-alone application currently in beta phase that leverages the Tensor Cores found in the Turing RTX graphics cards and powerful neural network algorithms to remove background noise distractions from your audio input. RTX Voice can also help to remove the background noises coming from other meeting participants, greatly making the meeting conversation easier to understand.
