SUMMARY:“Is the VFX world inevitably moving from CPU to GPU for rendering 
 & compute?”
DESCRIPTION:Mark Turner (Entertainment Technologists Inc, MovieLabs) and M
 ac Moore (CoreWeave)\n\nAs SIGGRAPH attendees grapple with aging infrastru
 cture (much that predates the pandemic) they are at a critical technologic
 al inflection point – AI and GPU rendering are accelerating rapidly, shoul
 d they invest in just GPU technology moving forward, stick with more flexi
 ble CPU farms or strike a sort of hybrid approach?  Whether they’re buying
  new infrastructure or investing in cloud resources the questions are just
  as valid.  Our session will help attendees understand the pros and cons o
 f each approach, the economic considerations, where we are in the GPU adop
 tion curve and insights from those that have already made a migration.\n\n
 Interest Area: Gaming & Interactive, New Technologies, Production & Animat
 ion\n\nRecording: Not Livestreamed, Not Recorded\n\nKeyword: Graphics Syst
 ems Architecture, Hardware, Image Processing, Rendering\n\nRegistration Ca
 tegory: Full Conference, Experience\n\n
