The NVSG renderer is NVIDIA’s solution for more realistic real-time and high-performance rendering.  ICIDO fully supports NVIDIA’s strategy to provide access to high-end visualization and visual computing through the use of NVSG. Both aspects are essential for ICIDO’s customers and will deliver several significant benefits such as superior visual effects through CgFx and MetaSL Shader support, improved scalability through NVScale multi-GPU rendering and real-time GPU-based raytracing..

Christian Matzen, COO of ICIDO, notes: “ I am fascinated by how quickly and productively the two teams worked together to create  significant value for our customers. Users will benefit from  ultra realistic visualization via OpenGL immediately as well as  raytracing in the very near term. We are fully committed to leveraging NVSG for future development.”

Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional Solutions, NVIDIA adds: “Our strong working relationship with ICIDO is successfully leveraging the full potential of NVSG rendering technology for advanced visualization. .

ICIDO will release the first version of its Visual Decision Platform with the integrated NVSG renderer with SP1 of VDP 2008 in April 2009. A preview of the integrated solution are available to customers.
