MetaEngine is an NVIDIA-certified system designed to power large-scale digital twin simulations (a computer program that uses real world data to create virtual simulations that can predict how a product or process will perform) within NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise.
“The creation of digital worlds involves four major tasks: collaborative creation, real-time rendering, high-precision simulation and intelligent interaction," said Liu Jun, vice president of Inspur Information and general manager of AI & HPC.
"Each requires different computing power and complex software. The Inspur MetaEngine was born to solve such a problem and to create an efficient and collaborative development experience for users.”
Specifically, it aggregates all the computing power required for digital twins and virtual worlds, and supports the integration of hardware and software required for the creation and real-time rendering of 'large-scale, highly complex and highly realistic' digital simulations.
The MetaEngine is comprised of eight NVIDIA A40 GPUs, three NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Dx 200Gbps SmartNICs, 1TB system memory and 16TB NVMe storage.
“Using the Inspur MetaEngine, the NVIDIA OVXTM solution can simulate complex digital twins that will be used for modeling entire buildings, factories, cities and even worlds,” said Bob Pette, vice president of professional visualization at NVIDIA.
The Inspur MetaEngine can be applied to a number of use cases aside from the real-time rendering of digital twins, including the rapid generation of digital humans and time-accurate, high-precision simulations that obey the laws of physics.
In addition, MetaEngine can be further expanded with Inspur Information’s full-stack AI computing ecosystem MetaBrain, which allows the deployment and creation of integrated solutions for subdivided digital twin and digital world scenarios for customers in various industries.
