Key Features

Visual Computing System (VCS) Features

Flexible Form Factor
Workstation, deskside tower or standard 19" rack form factor enables deployment in a wide range of environments. Model S4 is a 1U form factor.

High Speed, PCI Express Data Transfer
With low latency and high bandwidth, computing applications benefit from the highest data transfer rate possible through standard PCI-Express architecture.

NVIDIA Quadro Unified Memory Architecture
Allows for superior memory management, which efficiently allocates and shares memory resources between concurrent graphics windows and applications.

Standard 1U Server Form Factor
Industry standard form factor optimized for large scale server deployments. Four Quadro GPUs in a high density 1U chassis offer the highest performance for remote graphics applications. Performance optimized and power optimized products cover the range of IT server room requirements. System monitoring, thermal control and fault notification in the 1U server product provide the necessary features for efficient integration of the Quadro Plex Model S4 servers into the data center.

Graphics Processing Units (GPU) Features

1.5 GB Frame Buffer per GPU
Delivers high throughput for interactive visualization of large models and high-performance for real time processing of large textures and frames and enables the highest quality and resolution full-scene antialiasing (FSAA).

Cg High-Level Graphics Shader Language
Cg—“C” for graphics—is a high-level, open-standard programming language for OpenGL that takes advantage of the power of programmable GPUs. NVIDIA Quadro FX programmable graphics pipelines leverage high-level shading languages to enable the creation and integration of real-time photorealistic effects into 3D models, scenes, and designs. This represents a major leap forward in ease and speed for the creation of real-time, realistic graphics within MCAD, DCC, and scientific applications.

Fast 3D Textures
Fast transfer and manipulation of 3D textures resulting in more interactive visualization of large volumetric dataset.

128-Bit Precision Graphics Pipeline
Enables sophisticated mathematical computations to maintain high accuracy, resulting in unmatched visual quality. Full IEEE 32-bit floating-point precision per color component (RGBA) delivers millions of color variations with the broadest dynamic range.
