Chasing Pixels, Finding Visual Magic

4. Engineering Software Runs On:
Workstations
PCs
Tablets
Servers
Supercomputers
Alien space ships
Just checking to see if you’re paying attention

5. Engineering Influenced Hardware Sales

6. New Processors Two new GPUs coming this summer:
AMD’s Polaris, Nvidia’s Pascal
Intel released new CPU, Skylake in January
AMD will release new CPU, Zen, in
Qualcomm released new SoC, Snapdragon 820, in January
MediTek announced new Helio P20 February

7. Bigger, Faster, and Local Memory
PC and WS main memory moved to DDR4 in 2016 – 50% more BW (and not compatible) GPU memory goes inside - wider bus, faster, cooler Tablet memory moved to LPDDR4 300% more BW Most PC, all WS and tablet now with SSD

8. Faster I/O Thunderbolt USB-C now standard

9. Faster, More Robust Monitor I/O
DisplayPort 1.4 – 400% more BW from DP 1.1 Up to 16-bit color support Lossless 3:1 compression Daisy-chain monitors More power - could eliminate power cord

10. Displays Getting Bigger - Better
It ain’t VGA any more
Average DT WS monitor is 27-inch, HD (1980 x 1080)
Power users have 30-inch 4K (3860 x 2160)
15- and 17- NB are available it 4K
Tablets now have 4K
It’s a combination of resolution, screen size, and PPI

11. This is what 28.8 Mpixels, at 137.7 PPI over 78-inches looks like
This is 8.3 Mpixels at 288 PPI over 15.3-inches

12. They’re More Colorful Too
2016 is the year of HDR - high-dynamic range With 4K we move from 8-bit to 10-bit, full Adobe color

13. V, A, What?
Can’t give a presentation today without mentioning virtual and/or augmented reality. OK, I mentioned it I’ll be conducting a round table at noon Friday on Immersive technologies: AR and mixed realities in engineering and manufacturing.
