Unveiled in September at the event GPU Tech, 3D rendering solution remote from NVIDIA will be officially launched on 30 November. Rather than getting into internal stations necessary to very heavy calculations render an image "photorealistic", project studios and other 3D professionals can then decide to execute them remotely, according to the principle of cloud computing, using special servers with Intel graphics, delivering a stream that has only be displayed.
The promise? Get on the workstation connected to the Internet, delivered in real time or substantially all of calculations remotely on the server. The platform proposed by NVIDIA combines servers with maps software Tesla RealityServer its subsidiary mental images. At first glance, the solution actually offers some advantages: the data is centralized, and potentially more secure than an individual workstation.
To demonstrate the benefits of this solution, the manufacturer takes the example of automotive design teams who want to share the results of calculations of some type ray-tracing, as the rendering of a concept under different lighting. Other paths could also be open, especially in the field of marketing, allowing, for example see the result of interactions with a product modeled in 3D without waiting on a desktop thin client.
Reste à voir comment se comportera la solution concrètement, et si les problématiques de transfert des données n'en réduiront pas l'intérêt par rapport à des stations de rendu locales. For a configuration based Tesla TS 8 GPU, NVIDIA suggests a starting price of about $ 25,000. RealityServer will in turn charged by the terms of a license at $ 3,000 per GPU. Fans who wish to experience this type of solution can however download and use a free developer version of the software, limited to non-commercial applications.

Google will launch "Google Audio" for online music
According to the site techcrunch.com, Google is about to launch "Google Audio," a new platform for online music.
"We do not know yet if he will listen to or download (..) But it seems that Google is different from the audio service launched in China," said Michael Arrington, editor in chief of Techcrunch, generally well informed.
Apart from its subsidiary YouTube broadcast of clips, Google is relatively quiet in the musical universe. Its main initiative is www.google.cn / music, a service that allows Chinese Internet users to consult the records of artists but also to listen to or download some tracks.
"Google Music OneBox is part of Google will make information more accessible," we explained then a representative of Google said the service is not accompanied by any revenue sharing with its Chinese partners.
So simple transposition of the Chinese model or real Google Music Store? Speculation is increasing regarding the mysterious Google Audio although the Mountain View firm is currently silent on his plans in music.

Google accused of piracy in China
China also has something to say about Google Books and accuse the U.S. giant for having sat on the rights of its authors, some political leaders.
The sling anti-Google Books does not know a priori boundaries. Already criticized in countries where a mutual agreement must still be approved for the Justice, the scanning service and delivery of online books was tackle from Europe. Main criticism, that of having to scan everything-goes into the fund for libraries not really interested only subsequently to the issue of copyright.
In this game, just under 18 000 Chinese books were included in Google Books, and apparently illegally. This is just to inform the company of copyright for works written in China. And the case could become highly sensitive since among the works singled out, some were written by Chinese officials.
Said the Director-General of the society. Failing amicable agreement, legal proceedings are contemplated.
In the United States, the Digital Library project Google has been the subject of conciliation with the representatives of authors and publishers. This agreement provides for payment of $ 125 million to fund the registry rights on the books that should enable the beneficiaries, whose works have been placed online via Google Books without their explicit consent to obtain compensation. A revised agreement must be resubmitted to the U.S. Justice November 9.
Recently, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, strongly criticizing Google Books, declaring that "copyright should be protected on the Internet. [...] We therefore reject the scan if it does not include such protection , as does Google. "
