Not Just for Gaming: NVIDIA GeForce RTX Will Improve Workflows

Post Posted on by

NVIDIAs new GeForce RTX video cards have been all the talk lately. There is a lot of debate on the value that real time ray tracing brings to games, and some questions on how useful these cards will be to traditional ray traced renderers. With these cards becoming available for testing, and reviews starting to come in, many of these questions will be answered. However, there is an aspect to these cards that is often being overlooked: how the advances in real time ray tracing will dramatically cut down on production time before the rendering stage.

DaVinci Resolve 15: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance

Hardware Article Posted on by

DaVinci Resolve is a very GPU-intensive program, but it can still require a powerful CPU to match the amount of GPU power you may put into your system. We have seen diminishing returns with higher core count CPUs in the past, so the question is whether the 32 cores in the Threadripper 2990WX will increase performance or if you are better off with a lower core count CPU.

After Effects CC 2018: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance

Hardware Article Posted on by

For several years, After Effects has not performed very well with high core count CPUs – instead favoring processors that have higher per-core performance. This means that while AMD’s new Threadripper CPUs like the 2990WX and 2950X are very impressive in some applications, they shouldn’t be terribly great for After Effects compared to their Intel counterparts.

PyTorch for Scientific Computing – Quantum Mechanics Example Part 4) Full Code Optimizations — 16000 times faster on a Titan V GPU

HPC Post Posted on by

This is the 16000 times speedup code optimizations for the scientific computing with PyTorch Quantum Mechanics example. The following quote says a lot,

“The big magic is that on the Titan V GPU, with batched tensor algorithms, those million terms are all computed in the same time it would take to compute 1!!!”

A close friend recently had a defibrillator successfully placed in his chest. I was surprised when he explained how the doctors had him under light sedation where he didn’t feel pain, but could hear the doctors converse during the four-hour surgery.
