Hello all,

I'll keep it short:

Will Houdini be able to fully leverage nVidia's Maximus 2.0 (One K5000 and one K20 Tesla board)?

If so, what would be a “best practice”?

Thanks.

David

Nvidia's Maximus technology is passive, in that it does not require developer intervention. It will automatically route compute tasks to the Tesla and graphics tasks to the Quadro.

So in short, yes.

Thank you twod.

Would you happen to have some pointers to video examples of Maximus 1.0 working with Houdini? I'd love to see it in action.

Thanks again

David
