High-performance 3D Visualization and GPU Computing

While out-of-core data management continues to be essential to visualize large data, deriving new data sets or fusing multiple data sets is becoming increasingly important in understanding data. And while data-intensive applications continue relying on graphics hardware for visualization, this same hardware has proven to be very efficient for some computing tasks, making the GPU an attractive solution. VSG has taken the next step forward, allowing computation algorithms to be integrated into the visualization framework, for example, derivation of new data using NVIDIA® CUDA®. This powerful combination of LDM technology and GPU computing delivers both on the fly computation capability and interactive visualization, and provides the most efficient solution for extracting information from data.

GPU isn't just about graphics!

Leveraging the massively parallel architecture of GPUs and using GPU-programming technologies such as NVIDIA® CUDA™ delivers unprecedented high-performance computation power.

From Batch to Interactive

Thanks to GPU-Computing, massive data processing can be achieved in record time, turning former batch processes into interactive computations, seamlessly integrated into the visualization workflow.

Simultaneous Visualization and Computation

Programmable GPUs provide the unique ability to perform intensive calculations on the data being visualized, directly on the GPU memory.

3D Visualization Tools and GPU Computing

Open Inventor® by VSG provides interoperability between visualization and GPU computing, and allows seamless integration of high-performance computation code into the visualization framework.
