Grid-Accelerated After Effects

Grid-Accelerated After Effects 02/10/2004 02:49 AM

Adobe is teaming up with GridIron Software to produce a (relatively) low-cost grid accelerated version of After Effects.

Adding GridIron's XLR8 technology to After Effects — which produces motion graphics and other effects for film and the web — will allow users to use processor time on other computers on the network to shorten rendering & preview times. According to GridIron, the benefits of adding grid technology will be dramatic:

The bundled grid technology is expected to provide linear performance improvement, so preview and rendering will be completed nearly twice as fast on two computers than on one, three times as fast on three computers, and so on. Setting up a grid to achieve this increased speed is accomplished by installing the GridIron XLR8 and After Effects software components and connecting the computers together via a network.

This is the first time that grid technology has been put in reach of small to medium businesses, and it supposedly takes few special skills to set up and operate. And the possibilities that this opens up for applying the technology to other Adobe applications... There is hope for us who spend too much waiting for rasterizing and rendering operations!

See the press release on GridIron's website.

Taking The Camera Out Of The Camera
Phone

Taking The Camera Out Of The Camera
Phone 11/04/2003 07:06 PM
We've had a lot of stories in the last six months or so about shortsighted companies deciding to simply ban camera phones outright. In the past, I wondered if such rules would have an impact on mobile phone sales, but I didn't expect the carriers to jump on this topic so quickly. Put me in the same surprised boat as Alan Reiter to hear that carriers are convincing mobile phone handset makers to offer multiple versions of their phones: one with a camera and the other without. I really thought that with only a few companies overreacting and missing the point about camera phones, it would blow over, and a decade from now we'd be laughing at silly companies banning camera phones. At this rate, that might not be true. This is going to be a huge waste of money. Designing a new phone will take some money, and will create a phone that offers less value to the customer (and less opportunity for revenue for the carrier). However as camera phones begin to find more acceptance in the marketplace, people are going to get angry when their boss tells them the expensive phone they just bought can't be brought into the office. They're not going to want to buy the version without the camera if part of the reason they're upgrading is for the camera in the first place. This is a (costly) over reaction to a technology that will do nothing to stop the real problem (theft of corporate secrets or invasion of privacy), but will cost lots of money and anger many people.
