Displays keep growing and at http://developer.nvidia.com/object/nvision08-hd8mp.html NVIDIA's Ian Williams describes the present-day details and growing future of increasing resolution, pixel depth, multi-display, stereo, and SLI solutions -- even non-rectangular display topologies.
At http://developer.nvidia.com/object/nvision08-remote3d.html NVIDIA asks: where the the best location for a professional GPU? In the local computer, or the server? NVIDIA and partners Citrix and Teradici show innovative high-powered solutions to the challenge of allowing anyone anywhere (even on a handheld) to be fully enabled by graphics applications that run over IP from a high-powered GPU server.
NVIDIA is pleased to announce the release of the latest NVIDIA Scene Graph Software Development Kit -- that is, the latest NVSG SDK. The NVSG SDK is an object-oriented programming library for quickly creating rich, robust 3D scene-graph-based applications under either 32- or 64-bit Windows or Linux operating systems.
This latest release version expands upon the features of the previous versions, which have been used to create applications ranging from Vehicle Styling to Broadcast Graphics. New features include support for Cg 2.0 and its new G80 features, including Geometry Shaders and Texture Arrays; support for new file formats such as PLY; new animation extensions and animation data for shaders; and support for NVIDIA Quadro® HD SDI Graphics-to-Video Output.
We’re glad to announce the release of NVSG 4.0.
Highlights:
- Support for OpenFlight, COLLADA / COLLADA FX, and OBJ file formats
- FX Composer 2 and mental mill Artist Edition effect interchange
- Significant Animation extensions
- Support for NVIDIA Quadro® HD SDI Graphics-to-Video Output
- New examples and many performance and usability enhancements.
NVIDIA CUDA technology is a fundamentally new computing architecture for the GPU to solve complex computational problems across consumer, business, and technical industries. CUDA (compute unified device architecture) gives data-intensive applications access to the tremendous processing power of NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) through a revolutionary computing architecture unleashing entirely new capabilities. Providing orders of magnitude more performance and simplifying software development through the standard C language, CUDA technology enables developers to create solutions for data-intensive processing to produce accurate answers, in less time.

A new beta version of the NVIDIA Scene Graph Software Development Kit (NVSG SDK) for Windows is available for download. (Linux versions will be available soon.) Major improvements include a revision of core object handling, support for Cg 1.5, and an initial implementation of volume rendering.
Get NVSG 3.2.0.3 Beta now on the NVSG home page.
Cg 1.5 Beta 2 went live today. In addition on new features provided by the Beta 1, it introduces support for Solaris, Universal (X86+PowerPC) binaries for Mac OS and general compatibility improvements. Code samples have also been added.
Download it on the Cg 1.5 Beta 2 page.
Cg 1.5 Beta 1 is available for download. This version of Cg features GLSL profiles for OpenGL and Shader Model 3 profiles for Direct3D. A procedural API for effect creation has also been added to support COLLADA. As always, this most recent version has been tuned for higher performance.
Download it on the Cg 1.5 Beta 1 page.
