As Brian Albright points out in his article for Digital Engineering on Superworkstations, the introduction of new multi-core CPUs, ultra-fast GPUs and terabytes of memory has made it possible for designers to now handle real-time simulation, rendering, virtual reality applications and complex data science on a desktop engineering workstation. The only draw back is the budget. In his article Albright interviews PNY, NVIDIA and other workstation experts to determine where it makes sense to invest your IT budget based on your workflow.

Now available as a public beta, Autodesk Arnold 5.3 gives artists a first look at Autodesk’s Quadro RTX accelerated rendering software. From look development to lighting, RTX-based GPU acceleration brings fluid interactivity and unprecedented speed to rendering workflows, reducing interations and time from inspiration to finished image.

“We’ve worked closely with NVIDIA to optimize Arnold GPU to run on the latest RTX technology, and look forward to continuing to collaborate to bring our customers the highest quality rendering.” Said Chris Vienneau, Senior Director, Media & Entertainment Products, Autodesk.

At PNY PRO we are always excited to see and share the spectacular designs our customers create using NVIDIA graphics boards. To celebrate the launch of the latest RTX GPUs from NVIDIA, we are inviting our talented creators to participate in the new RTX for Creators contest, which offers the chance to win an NVIDIA Quadro GPU. We will share some of the entries received throughout the contest on our web site. To enter the contest or view examples of creations submitted, visit: www.pny.com/creators

PNY PRO is challenging all NVIDIA users to create a visually compelling design using at least one 3D software modeling and rendering application. All participants can upload up to three images/videos of their original work; the images should be at least FHD (1080p) 1920 x 1080 resolution. The RTX Creators Contest will run until June 30, 2019 and the wining entry will receive an NVIDIA Quadro P2000.

As a PC enthusiast, I love pitting hardware solutions against each other to determine their relative performance when completing a particular task.  This process is also known as “Benchmarking.”  Benchmarking results are usually considered the best tool to evaluate the merits of competing systems when making a purchase decision.

In this 3-part blog series, we’ll discuss how to build a system, with an emphasis on benchmarking GPU performance for Deep Learning using Ubuntu 18.04, NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC) and TensorFlow.

According to Data Science Central, a leading online resource for data practitioners, forecasts predict the big data market will approach $203 billion by 2020. Data science is powering the engine of modern enterprise – every industry from retail to financial services to healthcare is deriving insight from data to improve competitiveness and operational efficiency. Retailers are improving forecasting to reduce the cost of excess inventory. Financial services institutions are detecting fraudulent transactions. Healthcare providers are predicting the risk of disease more quickly. Even modest improvements in the accuracy of predictive machine learning models can translate into billions on the bottom line. The NVIDIA accelerated Data Science Workstation (DWS) solution with RAPIDS enables enterprises and data scientists to tap into GPU-accelerated machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) with faster model iteration, better prediction accuracy, and lowest data science total cost of ownership (TCO).

The Quadro RTX 4000 is already making an impression on the tech community with positive results and projected success. Print and web publications with years of industry involvement such as Develop 3D and Techgage are devoted to providing professionals the technical information they need. They, and others, are committed to their readership and focus on product and workflow enhancements, such as the Quadro RTX 4000, that improve productivity and creativity.

“Compared to previous generations, there’s more than immediately meets the eye with Quadro RTX. The architecture bump from Pascal to Turing in itself represents a big boost in performance (and efficiency), but the addition of Tensor and RT cores helps set RTX apart from the rest of the market." - Rob Williams, Techgage
