GTC 2022: Jules Urbach will discuss the roadmap for OctaneRender and The Render Network
Jules Urbach, OTOY’s co-founder and CEO, will be presenting the Render Network at Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference.
Throughout the year NVIDIA, a world leading GPU producer, holds a series of GPU Technology Conferences across the globe, commonly referred to as “GTC”. These annual gatherings are the biggest events dedicated to this technology and its applications in an ever-growing number of fields, from high performance computing to virtual reality to self-driving cars to anything else you can imagine — the possibilities are endless!
NVIDIA GTC 4-day virtual conference begins on March 21, 2022. This year, conference registrants have the opportunity to attend digital sessions hosted globally. Click here to register. The event gathers the very best of the world’s developers, designers, engineers, researchers and IT managers to share how GPU technology helps them address their graphic and computational challenges.
Among the specialists that will be sharing their experiences and insights on their use of visual computing in particular fields is our very own Jules Urbach, CEO at OTOY and Render Network. A pioneer in computer graphics, streaming, and 3D rendering, Jules has been a household name at GTC since 2010. Jules shared the stage with NVIDIA Co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang in 2013 during the opening keynote address at GTC 2013 to announce OctaneRender Cloud Edition, the very foundation of today’s Render Network.
Jules previously discussed his short term vision for The Future of GPU Rendering at GTC 2021, and the role OTOY aims to play in democratizing media and workflows, presenting the company’s progress working towards that goal through major research and advances in their products, such as OctaneRender.
In this year’s edition he will discuss the role OTOY aims to continue playing in democratizing media and workflows, presenting the company’s progress working towards that goal through major research and advances in their products such as the Render Network and Octane Render:
