With extensive experience in the film post-production industry Mike McCarthy knows what is required to support robust M&E workflows.  After reviewing the 15" PREVAILPRO P4000 mobile workstation Mike concludes that it's one of the most powerful 15-inch laptops available, especially if your processing needs are GPU-intensive.

"It supports 8K monitors... and does many media tasks just as fast as my desktop workstation.  It seems like an ideal choice for a power user who needs strong graphics performance, but doesn't want to lug around a 17" monster of a system."

One of the most common (and best) tips we give to customers is to make sure they are using the latest NVIDIA driver, but the second most common recommendation is to do a clean install of the latest driver. 

By requesting a clean install, the driver package will remove any previously installed files, which might be corrupted by system crashes or malware, and ensures that the OS has pristine and current driver files to work with.

Quadro GV100 with Volta architecture brings unprecedented capabilities in deep learning and simulation to designers, engineers and scientists.

As demand for deep learning continues to gain momentum, it’s already changing the way people work. Driving the next wave of advancement in deep learning-infused workflows is the NVIDIA Volta GPU architecture.

In his keynote address at the GPU Technology Conference 2018 in San Jose, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the new Volta-based Quadro GV100, and described how it transforms the workstation with real-time ray tracing and deep learning.

The Quadro GV100 addresses the growing demands of the world’s largest businesses — in such fields as automotive, architecture, engineering, entertainment and healthcare — to rapidly deploy deep learning-based research and development, accelerate deep learning-enhanced applications, enable photoreal VR and provide secure, anytime, anywhere access.

Bringing unprecedented capabilities in deep learning, rendering and simulation to designers, engineers and scientists, the new products allow professionals to design better products in a completely new way. GPU-accelerated techniques, like generative design, and the ability to conduct complex simulations faster mean businesses can explore more design choices, optimize their designs for performance and cost, and consequently bring ground breaking products to market faster.
