TerM DeSCrIPTIoNAssembly/Model An assembly is made up of a part of a physical product that
contains multiple 3D sub-components or models.
CAD Computer-aided design (CAD), also known as computer-aided drafting (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. Computer-aided drafting describes the process of creating a technical drawing with the use of computer software. CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing.
CuDA NVIDIA® CUDA™ is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA. It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
DCC Digital content creation is a term that refers to the creation and modification of digital content, such as animation, audio, graphics, images and video, as part of the production process before presentation in its final form. This large field encompasses many segments such as 3D graphics, audio editing, compositing, authoring, etc.
Directives openACC Allows programmers to provide simple hints, known as directives, to the compiler to accelerate code. With OpenACC directives, the code remains portable across many-core GPUs and multi-core CPUs.
fermi NVIDIA® Fermi is the code name for the NVIDIA GPU architecture that launched in 2009. NVIDIA products built on the Fermi architecture have names such as Quadro 2000 or Tesla M2090, for example.
frame Buffer Frame buffer is dedicated memory on the graphics card similar to that which is used to store model geometry, textures, frames of video, etc.
GPu or GPu Accelerator Graphics processing unit with hundreds of compute cores, initially used as graphic processors. Now that GPUs have become programmable and computationally powerful, they are also used to accelerate hundreds of scientific applications.
GPu Computing or GPu Accelerated Computing
Use of a GPU (graphics processing unit) together with a CPU to accelerate general-purpose scientific and engineering applications.
Integrated Graphics Graphics hardware that is built into the CPU which shares both CPU hardware resources along with system memory. Only sufficient for very basic applications like email or word processing.
TerM DeSCrIPTIoNISV Independent software vendor, typically used to refer to
professional software vendors such as Autodesk, Adobe, or Dassault Systèmes.
ISV Certifications NVIDIA and ISVs work together to test,validate and guarantee the functionality of the hardware and software.
kepler The world’s fastest and most efficient high-performance computing (HPC) architecture, and the latest architecture from NVIDIA. NVIDIA products built on the NVIDIA® Kepler™ architecture have names such as NVIDIA Quadro® K5000 and NVIDIA Tesla® K20 (K for Kepler).
libraries Pre-written code and subroutines used by developers when developing software. GPU-accelerated libraries provide “drop-in” acceleration to an application.
Mosaic NVIDIA software designed to manage and optimize multiple displays to create large desktop surfaces or a matrix/mosaic of displays for large-scale display installations.
Nview NVIDIA software designed to manage and optimize your workspace over single or multiple displays.
NVS Graphics cards designed for multi-monitor installations in commercial/office/financial settings. Featured in both commercial PCs and workstations.
Parallel Computing Parallel computing is a form of computation in which many calculations are carried out simultaneously, operating on the principle that large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which are then solved concurrently (“in parallel”).
Quadro Series of graphics cards designed for professionals to use to accelerate their work in the CAD and DCC markets, featured in workstations.
SPeC ViewPerf SPEC ViewPerf measures the 3D rendering performance of systems running under OpenGL and is typically used for benchmarking purposes.
Speed up The performance differential obtained when running an application on a CPU-only system vs. a CPU + GPU system.
workstation A workstation is a highly tested and qualified PC with enormous capability for hardware upgradeability. It is designed to be highly reliable and serviceable, and can be in the form of a desktop or notebook.
