A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post titled Should You Learn to Program with Python. If you read that and decided the answer is yes then this post is for you.
Docker and NVIDIA-docker on your workstation: Using Graphical Applications
You can use graphical application with Docker and NVIDIA-Docker by attaching your X-Window server socket to a container. And, it can be done in a relatively safe and secure way. I will take advantage of the Docker security and usability enhancements from the configuration with User-Namespaces that we setup in the previous post and show you how to run a CUDA application with OpenGL output support.
Case Study with Corridor Digital (2017)
Corridor Digital uses a workstation from Puget Systems for their intensive VFX and to significantly decrease their rendering times with Octane Render.
Premiere Pro CC 2017 Mac Pro vs PC Performance
In this article we will be examining how the top-end Mac Pro (late 2013) compares to two of our Premiere Pro workstation configurations. These two PC workstations were designed to represent both a great value option (priced at roughly half the cost of the Mac Pro) as well as the best overall performance possible with modern hardware.
Windows 7: The End is Nigh
Windows 7 updates are being limited by Microsoft on the latest processor platforms, and in combination with the other issues we’ve seen lately when installing Windows 7 we are now only listing it as an option on well-supported configurations… until we run out of licenses, then it’s over.
Premiere Pro CC 2017 GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB Performance
The latest video cards often get a lot of press, but unfortunately for content creators (and other professionals), it is almost impossible to find any non-gaming benchmarks. In this article we will be looking at the GTX 1080 TI to see how it perform compared to the GTX 1080 and Titan X video cards in Premiere Pro CC 2017.
NVIDIA GTX 1080Ti Performance for Machine Learning — as Good as TitanX?
How good is the NVIDIA GTX 1080Ti for CUDA accelerated Machine Learning workloads? About the same as the TitanX! I ran a Deep Neural Network training calculation on a million image dataset using both the new GTX 1080Ti and a Titan X Pascal GPU and got very similar runtimes.
In Search of Competition
While speaking to our customers, I’m often asked why we don’t carry a specific brand or type of product. For example, AMD recently released a CPU called Ryzen that competes with Intel CPUs. AMD is positioning these chips as comparable to Intel’s offerings but at a lower price. Some customers are interested in how these new chips stack up.
Docker and NVIDIA-docker on your workstation: Setup User Namespaces
In this third post on Docker and Nvidia-Docker we will configure “kernel user namespaces” for use with Docker. This will increase the security and usability of Docker on your desktop. This is a relatively new feature in Docker and is a key component for the viability of “Docker on your workstation”.
Premiere Pro CC 2017 AMD Ryzen 7 1700X & 1800X Performance
With the new Ryzen CPUs from AMD, the main question everyone wants to know is how much faster they are compared to the old CPUs. In this article, we will be tackling this question in terms of Premiere Pro performance by examining how the new Ryzen 7 1700X and 1800X perform compared to their Intel counterparts.
