Nvidia Corp. has long touted the ability of its extremely powerful graphics processing units in advanced 3D product design, and now it’s making it possible for teams to collaborate on their projects in real time in a shared virtual space.
The new Nvidia Omniverse Enterprise offering announced today at Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference virtual event makes it possible for geographically dispersed 3D design and production teams to work seamlessly on complex projects, no matter where they are located, the company said.
The service is meant to enable complex product design in the COVID-19 pandemic world where face-to-face meetings aren’t possible, providing a virtual world where designers, artists and reviewers can exchange and iterate on massive files and collaborate simultaneously, from any device.

Shares Nvidia s new Grace CPU
As usual, Nvidia had a raft of product announcements ready for its annual GTC conference which started today. Among the standouts were the Grace data centre CPU, a next-generation BlueField DPU, Omniverse Enterprise for 3D collaboration, and updates to the company s Drive platform.
Grace – named after computing pioneer Grace Hopper – is Nvidia s first data centre CPU, designed for extremely large-scale AI and HPC workloads.
Model sizes are doubling every 2.5 months, said Nvidia senior director of accelerated computing Paresh Kharya, pointing to the way the GPT-3 model uses 175 billion parameters. This suggests 100 trillion parameter models will exist by 2023.
