What is NVIDIA Maximus ?

NVIDIA Maximus is an NVIDIA technology that enables professional applications to take advantage of a Quadro GPU (for visual tasks) and a Tesla C2075 GPU (for parallel computational tasks) through a unified driver which transparently assigns the right work to each processor. For the first time, this allows a single workstation to perform both interactive visualization and compute intensive processing such as simulation or rendering simultaneously. This technology unlocks the power of multi-GPU computing for designers and content creation professionals and fundamentally revolutionizes workstation computing.

What are the main user benefits of NVIDIA Maximus technology ?

The computational power delivered with NVIDIA Maximus will change how people work in the following ways:

• Full Performance multi-tasking - professionals can now experience higher productivity because they can maintain full interactivity on graphics intensive design applications while simultaneously performing high performance computation locally on their same machine.
• Dramatically Faster - GPUs enable up to 4X faster simulation performance and up to 9X faster rendering performance (over non GPU solutions). This makes interactive design and simulation or design and rendering possible for the first time.
• Certified by Industry Leading Application Vendors - ISVs have optimized and certified their applications to run in Multi-GPU systems powered by NVIDIA Maximus. There are a range of workstations immediately available with NVIDIA Quadro and NVIDIA Tesla processors.

Reinventing the workflow?

With Maximus engineers, artists, designers or scientists can now interact with high-performance visuals while performing simulations or renderings on the same system - at the same time. .
