Nvidia expands Omniverse with a new GPU, new collaborations
Summary
Nvidia on Tuesday announced a series of ways it plans to bring the Omniverse design and collaboration platform to a vastly larger audience. Nvidia rolled out Omniverse in open beta back in December, giving 3D designers a shared virtual world from which they can collaborate across different software applications and from different geographic locations. The GPU has 6GB of memory capacity with an error correction code (ECC) to maintain data integrity -- a feature especially important for industries such as healthcare and financial services. More specifically, theyve developed a new schema for rigid-body physics, the math that describes how solids behave in the real world (for example, how marbles would roll down a ramp). This means the developer community for Nvidia will have access to Omniverse with custom extensions, microservices, source code, examples, resources and training.
