LOS ANGELES—GPL Technologies
will demonstrate new solutions for virtualization and visualization using the
latest graphics acceleration technology from NVIDIA at Autodesk University next
month in Las Vegas. The event will include a special live remote demonstration using
NVIDIA® GRIDTM technology,
Quadro® professional GPUs
and the Quadro
Visual Computing Appliance (VCA).

NVIDIA GRID and Quadro technologies have drawn keen interest from visual
effects artists, video editors, graphics designers and other graphics-intensive
users for their ability to speed rendering and facilitate the use of virtual desktop
infrastructures.

“These new graphics tools offer a big boost in performance, especially
for virtualized desktops,” says GPL Technologies CEO Brian Terrell. “We are
very excited about their potential to enhance creative collaboration and
productivity. These tools have the potential to change the way artists work together.”

At Autodesk University, demonstrations will run continuously on three
workstations, with one connected remotely to a Quadro VCA at NVIDIA’s
headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif. That live demonstration will underscore the
VCA’s ability to greatly accelerate rendering, and enable artists to make
faster design decisions, while reducing reliance on overnight renders. GPL
Technologies will be offering raffle prizes for attendees as well as free
cocktails. The demos will be conducted at the GPL Technologies booth at the
Venetian, #1217.

GPL Technologies, which provides a host of IT services to creative
companies involved in media production, is a long-time technology partner with
NVIDIA in North America. “We chose to demonstrate our technology with GPL
because of their expertise with Autodesk workflows and extensive experience in
integrating NVIDIA professional solutions in creative workflows,” said Bob
Pette, vice president of Professional Visualization at NVIDIA. GPL has supplied
and implemented NVIDIA technology for users in media production, architecture,
education and government.

Autodesk University will be held December 1-3 at The Venetian in Las
Vegas.
