The Future of Digital Content Creation with the GPU

The Future of Digital Content Creation with the GPU

Moving processor intensive tasks to the GPU:

NOTE: This is the 3rd Tuesday of April

The Future of Digital Content Creation will provide attendees with an opportunity to learn about the latest developments in production workflows.

See how the latest technologies and applications are taking advantage of the high performance computing power on the latest generation GPUs. NVIDIA will present how you can use highly optimized software modules including acceleration engine technology, CUDA, PhysX, SceniX, CgFX, CompleX, OptiX and iray. Featured speakers will include software providers who will discuss best practices for optimizing workflows and software. Come see how GPUs are transforming visually-rich and computationally-intensive applications such as video games, film production, broadcasting and industrial design.

This panel of speakers brings together studio R&D and pipeline engineers who are approaching complex VFX challenges in new ways to build on the high performance computing afforded by the GPU.

The resulting discussion would give attendees a snapshot of how these forward thinking companies are leveraging this technology to gain significant pipeline efficiencies and throughput speed increases.
