SolidWorks World 2011 Partner Profile: NVIDIA

By

One of the things we've heard from SolidWorks World attendees over the past few years is that you'd like to learn more in advance about the SolidWorks partners who set up booths in the Partner Pavilion. So now through the end of SolidWorks World, we'll be posting a series of blog entries about some of the partners you might think about checking out, and the people who will be representing them. Today we hear from Jean-Marc Ludwig, Senior Strategic Alliance Manager at NVIDIA.

1. Tell us about NVIDIA
NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) awakened the world to the power of computer graphics when it invented the GPU in 1999. Since then, it has consistently set new standards in visual computing with breathtaking, interactive graphics available on devices ranging from tablets and portable media players to notebooks and workstations. NVIDIA's expertise in programmable GPUs has led to breakthroughs in parallel processing which make supercomputing inexpensive and widely accessible. The Company holds more than 1,600 patents worldwide, including ones covering designs and insights that are essential to modern computing. For more information, see www.nvidia.com.

3. How can your products or services help make a SolidWorks user’s life easier?
NVIDIA® Quadro® professional graphics allow you to take full advantage of SolidWorks® 2011. By enabling RealView and full scene antialiasing (FSAA), Quadro allows for more realistic, higher quality images. Zoom, rotate and manipulate large assemblies in real-time, without compromising image details or your standards.  The close collaboration on product development between SolidWorks and NVIDIA also assures you of the most stable and reliable user experience.
