At SIGGRAPH 2011, the HP Z800 Workstation simultaneously processed 12 Full HD video streams.

Of course, the HP Z800 Workstation itself could not show such a result. In fact, even a very powerful PC can hardly handle 12 streams of uncompressed Full HD video at the same time, and even with color correction. All this was made possible by combining the forces (and developments) of the companies Fusion-io, NVIDIA, Thinkbox Software and Tweak Software, who created a creative tandem specifically for the SIGGRAPH 2011 exhibition. Express ioMemory).

The result is predictable - a workstation without the slightest “brakes” or loss of quality actually processed 12 streams of uncompressed FullHD video at the same time. There were no delays, and there could not be, with such and such a configuration. By the way, ioDrive Duos could show an excellent result - three gigabytes per second, these are no longer children's toys, but really an excellent indicator. Solid state drives were combined into a RAID array with high performance. Of course, not many companies even can afford ioDrive Duos. Yes, Fusion ioMemory modules were also installed on the system.

Interestingly, a system like this is considered by some as a worthy tool for graphic designers, especially for those working with Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya, Autodesk Softimage, and other similar applications. Representatives of Thinkbox Software, who created a set of Krakatoa 2.0 MX modules for 3ds Max, also respond well to the system.

Unfortunately, the video cannot be inserted into the post, but you can look at the system in work here .
