High quality photorealistic renderings are about to become a lot faster and available to more engineers thanks to the development of the NVIDIA RealityServer platform running software developed by mental images.
 The server platform is a NVIDIA Tesla RS GPU (graphics processing unit) machine. Configurations start at eight GPUs and scale upwards to support increasing number of simultaneous users.
Fernando Toledo, manager of the Virtual Reality Center at the National Institute for Aviation Research at Wichita State University, said: "Some of the biggest problems we face in aviation research involve managing and visualising massive datasets while keeping that data secure. Using NVIDIA RealityServer for virtual prototyping, design reviews and remote visualisation solves those issues. We are extremely impressed by its performance and ability to realistically render our large 3D CAD models over the web without exposing our IP."
The platform will become available on November 30th 2009. A developer edition of RealityServer 3.0 software will be downloadable free of charge, which will include the right to deploy non commercial applications from the same date. Mental images are a wholly owned subsidiary of NVIDIA with its headquarters in Berlin, Germany.
