The NVIDIA booth at Siggraph certainly stopped many attendees in their
tracks as they spotted its brand new dedicated visual computing
system, the 3U rackmount Quadro Plex 1000.
Featuring NVIDIA SLI multi-GPU technology, the NVIDIA Quadro Plex is an
external visual compute system delivering density of up to 20x when
compared to traditional GPU solutions, performance of up to 80-billion
pixels/sec and seven billion vertices/sec and resolutions as high as
148 megapixels on 16 synchronized digital-output channels and eight HD
SDI channels. It will be available in the Q3 and will be offered in
multiple configurations ranging from a single system to a cluster to
further scale system ability. The entry level system will start at
$17,000. NVIDIA Quadro Plex 1000 is compatible with an officially
certified set of x86 32- and 64-bit Intel and AMD processors running
Windows and Linux operating systems.
While this system seems to be designed for medical and industrial
imaging, having the power to run multiple streams of 4K images may
become increasingly appealing to those in high-end post and digital
cinema.
