Green Technology behind Virtu, LucidLogix GPU Virtualization

Almost a year lapses without any peep from the black magic maker, LucidLogix. It seemingly does not want to miss the CES 2011 event. The company makes a comeback with a response to the trending Sandy Bridge platform. Sandy Bridge will make a phenomenal debut when some computer retailers introduce brand-new products supported by the next-generation CPUs. LucidLogix will come with virtualization software that enables AMD and NVIDIA GPUs to interact with Sandy Bridge.

In its press release which was sent on December 29th, 2010 introduced the LucidLogix GPU virtualization software designed for Intel Sandy Bridge platforms. It is aimed at dynamically balancing the advanced power-efficient and built-in media features of the Sandy Bridge processor graphics. It also supports DirectX 11 3D performance features. More interestingly, the software provides the support while maintaining and even reducing power consumption of the traditional entertainment desktops. It drops the heat, slows the fans, and reduces GPU utilization that eventually brings green, power-efficient, and durable system.

LucidLogix calls the GPU virtualization software Virtu. It is targeted at various desktops, ranging from the entry-level to the mainstream PCs equipped with the latest Intel’s Core i3/i5/i7, NVIDIA, or AMD 3D GPUs. The software makes real-time adjustments to the performance, thermal allocation, and feature allocation based on the requirements of the applications. However, the system works only if the users connect the display screen directly to the Sandy Bridge output.
