Heritage Meets Technology: Leveraging Virtualized Platforms for Architectural Conservation and Business Innovation [S72407]
Thursday, Mar 20 – 2:00 PM – 2:40 PM PDT
Mark Cichy, Principal, Director of Design Technology, HOK
In today’s fast-evolving technology landscape, enterprises need a flexible, future-proof infrastructure to tackle today’s and tomorrow’s business challenges. Presented jointly by NVIDIA and HOK, a global design, architecture, engineering, and planning firm, we’ll explore how HOK revolutionized its operations by adopting NVIDIA vGPU technology to power AI innovations and intense design collaboration at scale across all of its teams on an exceptionally complex multi-billion-dollar project. Whether you’re an IT professional, AI developer, or business executive, you’ll gain insight into making your virtual desktop infrastructure a cornerstone for the next generation of AI-driven, accelerated graphics solutions of your own digital transformation.
Key Takeaways:
+ How to build and manage a unified virtual platform for real-time, cutting-edge workloads
+ LLM development for generative 3D modeling to improve design Iteration with retrieval-augmented generation and NVIDIA NIM
+ Return on investment analysis in different aspects: cost effectiveness, productivity, resource management, and more
+ Best practices for deployment, scaling proportionally to compute requirements, and enhancing user experience
