Let’s Install 1903! Windows 10, May 2019 Update Now Available
If you’re like me you’ve been waiting for the May 2019 update with emotional anticipation. We have already covered some of the features coming in this update so this article will provide some guidance on how to install it and get rolling!
Windows 10 Security Patch Slowed Intel Core i9 9900K in Pix4D, Metashape, & RealityCapture
Over the last couple of years, several new vulnerabilities have been found in modern microprocessor architectures. Many of these have been related to speculative execution techniques used across most of Intel’s product line, and a patch was released for Windows 10 last week which was intended to address some of those weaknesses. Unfortunately, it has also reduced performance in some applications – which this article will demonstrate by comparing processing speed in three photogrammetry programs before and after the update.
How To Install Docker and NVIDIA-Docker on Ubuntu 19.04
Being able to get Docker and the NVIDIA-Docker runtime working on Ubuntu 19.04 makes this new and (currently) mostly unsupported Linux distribution a lot more useful. In this post I’ll go through the steps that I used to get everything working nicely.
New Photogrammetry Benchmarks
We have published three new benchmarks for photogrammetry applications. Whether you use Pix4D, Metashape (formerly PhotoScan), or RealityCapture we now have a utility you can use to measure and compare system performance. These benchmarks will be featured in upcoming articles from our Labs department, so check them out and see how your workstation stacks up!
Pix4D Benchmark
Here at Puget Systems, we have put together a benchmark utility for Pix4D which measures system performance for photogrammetry by running two small projects – a 3D Model and a 3D Map – and tracking the time each step takes to process. This benchmark is freely available to download, though running it requires a valid installation of Pix4D.
Metashape Benchmark
Here at Puget Systems, we have put together a benchmark utility for Agisoft Metashape which measures system performance for photogrammetry by running two small projects – a model and a map – and tracking the time each step takes to process. This benchmark is freely available to download, though running it requires a valid installation of Metashape.
RealityCapture Benchmark
Here at Puget Systems, we have put together a benchmark utility for RealityCapture which measures system performance for photogrammetry by running two small projects – a model and a map – and tracking the time each step takes to process. This benchmark is freely available to download, though running it requires a valid installation of RealityCapture.
Windows 10 Sleep Issues – OLD
A recent Windows 10 update seems to be preventing proper sleep even when set correctly. Sometimes simply turning sleep off and back on seems to solve the problem but occasionally more work is needed, this article will cover the solutions we have found to be successful.
Windows 7 support is ending, what now?
Microsoft is officially ending all product support in 2020. This means no more security updates, feature updates, patches of any kind or phone, email and chat support. This article will guide you through some of your options as well as discuss the best actions to take to keep you secure after support officially ends.
