If you swing by the NVidia booth at SIGGRAPH you’ll see one major eye catching feat:  A single workstation driving 12 full HD displays with uncompressed 1080P video simultaneously, thanks to the NVidia QuadroPlex 7000 and FusionIO.

“Working with Fusion-io, we’ve created an impressive, large-scale visualization technology demonstration at SIGGRAPH for show attendees,” said Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional Solutions Group, NVIDIA. “By combining Fusion’s ioMemory technology with our powerful QuadroPlex 7000, we’re demonstrating how to enable real-time color correction and processing of a dozen simultaneous uncompressed HD video streams – without being bottlenecked by disk speeds.”

In addition, you can head over to the Autodesk, Thinkbox, and Tweak booths to see similar demonstrations: Massive datasets being processed real-time thanks to the mind-blowing bandwidth available in the FusionIO SSD system.
