I think I have a copy of SLS kicking around here somewhereģ.If SLS on PDM can't effectively work for me, -Can you tell me if the 'virtualization technology that allows for VMs to talk directly with GPU, but requires more than one GPU'? is accessible to me and my problem in some way?Ĥ. I imagine that even just having the capability of having a new machine and adding lots more RAM with a newer i5 or i7 processor would speed things up somewhat, but for my CAD program, is that really true? If PDM 10 has a new 'Design optimization mode, what does that mean for my CAD performance with no GPU being used?Ģ. A new version of Vectorworks which will run on the new machine costs thousands, and is overkill for my drawing needs.ġ. I was really looking forward to using the new graphics gpu capabilities (either discrete or embeded GPUs) to speed up my CAD processes. Just Like Whit, I want to buy a new Mac, But. i don't do photo realistic ray traced models, but even the simple shaded architectural 3d models I draw, use considerable graphics resources, and even an openGL model really hits my work flow.

My legacy app is VectorWorks 2008 which works fine for me in terms of drawing capability, but as I learn to use more of its CAD graphics capabilities, it has slowed to a crawl on my current old MacMini 3,1 4GB RAM. I have the same need to run 10.6.8 as Whit, and desperately need new hardware.

The fact that SLS is supported means, among other things, that the hardware is presented to the Guest OS in a way that the Guest OS understands, ie, has drivers for.įinally, you always have the possibility of running PDM as a trial if you are still unsure.

There is a virtualization technology that allows for VMs to talk directly with GPU, but requires more than one GPU and isn't supported in PDM anyway. The reason why VBox crashed does not have to be related to hardware abstraction, or the hardware not being supported by the OS. And in case you are wondering, yes, SL can talk directly with CPU made years after it has been released because the architecture is the same (x86 or 圆4). The only piece of hardware that the VM is allowed to talk directly to is the CPU through a technology that specifically supports virtualization. Don't forget that the mouse, keyboard, screen, GPU, etc, are working for the Host system primarily, the Guest could never step over the Host, only the Host OS can have direct access to hardware. The virtualized OS (Guest) doesn't talk directly with the GPU, nor the screen, or other pieces of hardware, there is a level of abstraction in between.

This results in infusing people with wrong ideas and false issues, like the one presented, because after all, he is the 'IT guy'. He has absolutely no idea how a virtualization application like Parallels (or Virtual Box) works, does not have the curiosity to investigate and learn, and made and assertion about a purely technological issue without having any experience or knowledge on the subject, based solely on wrong assumptions. Click to expand.Pardon me for saying this, but if your IT guy says that, he shouldn't be your IT guy, and I only say this because I'm very confident of my assertion.
