In collaboration with Engineering.com, we present a series of articles that showcase advancements in the engineering field. These articles cover the role of data centers, graphics in digital transformation, Ada Lovelace GPUs, and Virtual GPUs. Read below as we dive into these transformative technologies.

The Ultimate Accelerator for the Data Center

Graphics cards have become an increasingly important component of engineering workstations. They’ve evolved from specialized chips for visualization to versatile processors for everything from data science to artificial intelligence (plus they still render a mean image).

Data volumes have been increasing for years – and researchers expect they will continue to increase in the coming years.

Meanwhile, edge computing, 5G-fueled hyper-connectivity, artificial intelligence (AI), and other new technologies we’ve been hearing about for years are becoming real solution realities, not research projects.

For these and many other reasons, organizations and the technologists that support them are being forced to reimagine the data center that is still the heart of most data-reliant organizations. Modern data centers need to be ready for what’s next, ideally without downtime or unplanned costs.

As a company NVIDIA has always tackled the grand challenges of computer graphics, high performance computing, AI, visualization, and more. Real-time ray tracing, advanced AI, digital prototyping and design validation, GPU acceleration of research across the life sciences to address zoonotic pathogens – and NVIDIA does exactly the same for software – NVIDIA^® Omniverse Enterprise is the latest, and potentially the most profound example, of NVIDIA’s commitment to hardware and software solutions with the potential to reinvent entire industries by reimagining how we work together.

When NVIDIA announced their NVIDIA Ampere architecture-based professional graphics product, the NVIDIA^® RTX^™ A6000, speculation and excitement immediately began to build around what other boards would be announced to complement it. Now, at GTC 21, the wait is over. The RTX A6000 is being joined by the NVIDIA RTX A5000 and the NVIDIA RTX A4000, with PNY taking aggressive inventory positions on both products, to quickly bring them to the widest possible audience of artists, designers, engineers, and scientists. PNY and NVIDIA both believe, as computer science visionary Alan Kay noted, “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” PNY is committed – as is NVIDIA – to doing exactly that.

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.

Virtual production is a rapidly growing trend in filmmaking and visual effects. It enables directors to eliminate the need for practical effects or locations with synthetic alternatives, while still delivering the life-like production values demanded by increasingly demanding viewers. The realism virtual production cinematography provides is truly stunning. However, requirements like extremely complex lighting, incredibly detailed geometries, and lifelike textures demand more than consumer graphics boards can provide. Virtual production cinematography requires powerful professional-grade graphics boards such as the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000, which is specifically designed to produce the most realistic scenes with stunning cinematic quality across the most demanding use cases found in the media and entertainment industry today.
