On Monday, Shares of NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), lost - 1.50% to $30.92.
From exploring Mount Everest from the safety of home, to designing the next automobile or plane, to watching a sporting event from the perspective of the coaches and players, virtual reality promises to dramatically change the way we experience everyday life.
But delivering VR is a complex challenge, especially since immersive VR requires seven times1 the graphics processing power contrast to traditional 3D apps and games.
To solve this problem, NVIDIA officially released the 1.0 version of two powerful VR software development kits (SDKs): NVIDIA GameWorks™ VR and NVIDIA DesignWorks™ VR.
When used in conjunction with the company’s industry-leading GeForce® and Quadro® GPUs, these SDKs provide developers the tools to create amazing VR experiences, improvement performance, reduce latency, improve hardware compatibility and accelerate 360-degree video broadcasts.
NVIDIA Corporation operates as a visual computing company in the United States, Taiwan, China, the rest of Asia Pacific, Europe, and other Americas. The company operates through two segments, GPU and Tegra Processors.
Shares of Mentor Graphics Corp (NASDAQ:MENT), remained flat at $ 18.59, during its last trading session.
Mentor Graphics Corp., declared that the Veloce® emulation platform, specifically the Codelink™ offering, now supports the debug of designs built with AndesCore™ processors, such as N10 and N13. Andes Technology Corporation is a leading Asia-based supplier of small, low-power, high performance 32-bit embedded CPU cores. Over 600 million Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) containing its CPU cores have been shipped by Andes customers.
With Codelink support, developers using the AndesCore processors can complete designs months sooner by moving critical software tasks to the pre-silicon stage. The Codelink tool allows a software developer to enjoy a traditional software debug experience when running software on a design with the Veloce platform. Unlike traditional software debug methods on emulation, which tend to be too slow for most software developers, the Codelink offering delivers the performance demanded by advanced software teams. The Codelink solution captures the software verification results from the emulator then shifts the debug to a workstation so that many developers can debug at the same time. Moving the debug task offline marks an important methodology shift for software verification. Because the Codelink tool is non-intrusive, it enables detailed performance and power analysis not possible with other debug methods.
“Codelink support for the Andes Core processors lets our customers get to silicon production sooner,” said Charlie Su, CTO & Senior VP, Andes Technology. “It also enables a greater degree of performance and power optimization at the system level not achievable with the traditional design cycle.”
Mentor Graphics Corporation provides electronic design automation software and hardware solutions to automate the design, analysis, and testing of electro-mechanical systems, electronic hardware, and embedded systems software.
Finally, Shares of Staples, Inc. (NASDAQ:SPLS), remained flat at $12.18.
