Virtual memory
This
is a method of extending the available physical memory on a GVS9000.
In a virtual memory system, the operating system creates a pagefile,
or swapfile, and divides memory into units called pages. Recently
referenced pages are located in physical memory, or RAM. If a
page of memory is not referenced for a while, it is written to
the pagefile. This is called "swapping" or "paging out" memory.
If that piece of memory is then later referenced by a program,
the operating system reads the memory page back from the pagefile
into physical memory, also called "swapping" or "paging in" memory.
The total amount of memory that is available to programs is the
amount of physical memory in the GVS9000 in addition to the size
of the pagefile.
Paging
file
This
is a disk file that the GVS9000 uses to increase the amount of
physical storage for virtual memory.
Hyperspace
This
is a special region that is used to map the process working set
list and to temporarily map other physical pages for such operations
as zeroing a page on the free list (when the zero list is empty
and the zero page is needed), invalidating page table entries
in other page tables (such as when a page is removed from the
standby list), and in regards to process creation, setting up
the address space of a new process.
Paged
pool
This
is a region of virtual memory in system space that can be paged
in and out of the working set of the system process. Paged pool
is created during system initialization and is used by Kernel-mode
components to allocate system memory. Uniproccessor systems have
two paged pools, and multiprocessor systems have four. Having
more than one paged pool reduces the frequency of system code
blocking on simultaneous calls to pool routines.
Non-paged
pool
This
is a memory pool that consists of ranges of system virtual addresses
that are guaranteed to be resident in physical memory at all times
and thus can be accessed from any address space without incurring
paging input/output (I/O). Non-paged pool is created during system
initialization and is used by Kernel-mode components to allocate
system memory.
System
cache
These
are pages that are used to map open files in the system cache.
System
PTEs
A
pool of system Page Table Entries (PTEs) that is used to map system
pages such as I/O space, Kernel stacks, and memory descriptor
lists.
The
2-GB user-mode virtual memory limitation
64-bit
programs use a 16-terabyte tuning model (8 terabytes User and
8 terabytes Kernel). 32-bit programs still use the 4-GB tuning
model (2 GB User and 2 GB Kernel). This means that 32-bit processes
that run on 64-bit versions of Windows run in a 4-GB tuning model
(2 GB User and 2GB Kernel). 64-bit versions of Windows do not
support the use of the /3GB switch in the boot options.
Theoretically, a 64-bit pointer could address up to 16 exabytes.
64-bit versions of Windows have currently implemented up to 16
terabytes of address space.

Power Consumption and Thermal Output (BTU) Information for GVS9000 and Nomadic Products
The power and cooling requirements of clusters can be formidable. By the law of conservation of energy, all the electricity coming into the computers has go out somehow. It does so as heat. Assume you have a dual processor CPU computer which is rated at 130W each. This means that your computer including the disc drive and RAM will run at about 300W. With a hundred such computers we are looking at 30KW for the cluster. That is about 40 horsepower, which works to about 100,000 BTU per hour

Cooling Requirements:
It’s very important to keep your GVS9000 computers running within normal operating temperatures (visit http://www.gvs9000.com/gvs90002ug5spec.html for more information). If your servers overheat, they will shut themselves down, and any work being done will be lost. You can also damage or shorten the life span of your servers by running them at high temperatures. To prevent damage, carefully evaluate your CPU needs. To determine the minimum cooling requirements for your CPU, use the following formula to add up the maximum thermal output of the CPU nodes:
CPU cooling requirements = max. head node thermal output + number of compute nodes * (max. compute node thermal output)
To obtain the thermal output figures for the CPU nodes, see above chart, “GVS9000 G5: Power consumption and thermal output (BTU) information,” GVS web sit.
For example, if your CPU consists of a maximally configured dual processor GVS9000 G5 computer and 11 minimally configured GVS9000 render node computers, the minimum cooling requirements will be:
CPU cooling requirements = 990 BTU/h + (11 * 819 BTU/h) = 9,999 BTU/h
For example, if the voltage is 120 and you have a CPU of 4 nodes—1 maximally configured GVS90002U PPC computer and 3 maximally configured GVS9000 CPU nodes— the power requirements for your CPU will be:
Rated current = (290 W/120 V) + 3 * (252 W/120 V) = 2.42 A + 3 * 2.1 A = 8.72 A
Although the rated current load covers the CPU nodes, you also have to consider the
power consumption of the other devices connected to your circuit.
Note: If your CPU consists of more than 64 computers, speak with your GVS systems engineer to determine the appropriate power infrastructure.
To offset the thermal output of your CPU in this example, you might use a large 10,000 BTU/h air conditioning unit, but it might not be enough. You should also consider the thermal output of other devices, such as the management computer, Nomadic RAID systems, monitors, and any other heat-generating device used in the same room. You should also consider external factors impacting temperature, such as weather, when calculating cooling needs. For example, you should take into account
the additional cooling needs during hot summer days. As always, consult with your system administrator to determine the appropriate level of cooling that your CPU and its associated hardware require for safe and smooth operation.
Weight Requirements
An GVS9000 PPC system with three GVS Drive Modules weighs 45 pounds. An GVS9000 PPC CPU node weighs 40 pounds. To determine your CPU weight requirements, add up the weight of the servers in the CPU. To obtain the weight information, visit www.GVS9000.com You’ll also have to factor in the weight of the rack if you’re bringing in a dedicated rack, and the weight of other devices used by the CPU. After determining the weight requirements, consult with your facilities personnel to ensure that the room in which the CPU will be installed meets the weight requirements.
Space Requirements
You should have enough space to house the CPU and allow easy access to it to perform routine maintenance tasks. Also, you should find a place for the CPU where it doesn't affect and isn't affected by other hardware in your server room.
Consider the following when choosing a location for your CPU:
• Don’t place the CPU next to an air vent, air intake, or heat source.
• Don’t place the CPU directly under a sprinkler head.
• Don’t obstruct doors (especially emergency exit doors) with your CPU.
• Leave enough room in front of, beside, and especially behind your CPU.
• Ensure that air can flow around the CPU. The room might be very well cooled, but if air can’t easily flow around the CPU, your computers can still overheat.
If you’re housing your CPU in a machine room, make sure you have at least 18 inches of clearance on the front and back of your systems. If you’re housing it in an office or other unmanaged space, make sure your CPU has at least 18 inches of clearance on all sides of the rack. You should have enough space to open the rack’s door, slide out systems, and perform other routine maintenance tasks.
Notes
Power consumption data (Watts) is measured from the wall power source and includes all power supply and system losses. Additional correction is not needed.
"CPU Max" is defined as running a compute-intensive test application that maximizes processor usage and therefore power consumption.
"Drive Max" is defined as running a test application that generates continuous input/output to a RAID set consisting of all internal disks in the system.
These numbers reflect a 23° C (73.4° F) ambient running environment. Increased ambient temperatures will require faster fan speeds which will increase power consumption. At 35° C (95° F), 50 W should be added to reflect increased power consumption.
These numbers reflect no PCI cards installed. A PCI video card will increase power consumption by 10 W.
If you’re mounting the CPU nodes in a rack with casters, set up the rack in the location where you’ll keep the CPU and then mount the systems. A heavy rack is difficult to move, particularly across carpet. In addition, the vibrations caused by moving your CPU long distances while racked might damage your hardware.

frequently asked questions, about After Effects Architecture and
how to take advantage of available software extension for digital
post production enviroment, GVS delivers the hardware with multiple
deferent host system from G5, AMD and Intel to achieve extreme creative
freedom
What
is Adobe After Effects? Adobe After Effects is the industry choice for creating motion
graphics and visual effects for film or broadcast.
It is also widely used to enhance other video productions, to create
DVD motion menus, and to produce animated Web graphics. Adobe After
Effects is available in two editions, Standard and Professional,
to meet the needs of motion graphics designers, visual effects artists,
and other creative professionals who produce content for film, video,
DVD, and the Web.
Why should I purchase Adobe After Effects 6.5? Whether you’re producing content for film, video, DVD,
or the Web, After Effects 6.5 boosts your efficiency with superior
performance and the right tools that enable you to work both faster
and smarter. After Effects delivers powerful features that help
you to be visually innovative, meet production challenges, and deliver
the quality results your clients expect. Plus, tight integration
with Adobe Premiere® Pro, Adobe Encore™ DVD, Adobe Photoshop®
CS, Adobe Illustrator® CS, and other video editing and 3D animation
tools ensures a seamless workflow. After Effects is the essential
tool for film and video professionals because it delivers power
and creative freedom.
What’s the difference between After Effects Standard and
After Effects Professional? Designed for the most demanding production environments, After
Effects Professional combines the core 2D and 3D compositing, animation,
and effects tools from the Standard edition with advanced motion
tracking and stabilization controls, additional keying and warping
tools, over 30 additional effects including new grain management
effects, an advanced particle system, scripting, network rendering,
16-bit per channel color, AAF and OMF support, and additional audio
effects. If your business doesn’t require these additional
features now, you can purchase After Effects Standard for its core
tools, then upgrade to After Effects Professional later.
What are the top new features in Adobe After Effects 6.5? After Effects 6.5 includes over one hundred new features designed
to boost your productivity and expand your creative options. They
include:
• Advanced Clone tool so you can see your source frame as you
paint over multiple frames; five presets make it easy to quickly
apply frequently-used Clone tool settings
• Disk caching for speeding up your interactive work
• Animation Presets, including more than 250 professionally-designed
text Animation Presets
• New integration with Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Encore DVD,
and Adobe Photoshop CS
• New grain management (Professional edition only) and color
correction tools, including Synthetic Aperture’s Color Finesse,
a $595USD value
• More than 60 new effects—Use more than 60 new effects
to add drama to your compositions, including Particle World, Light
Burst, Light Sweep, and Toner
• New text animation features, including the ability to set
blend modes between characters, randomize text, write scripts that
replace a layer’s text (Professional edition only), and more
• Firewire video output for previewing on NTSC and PAL video
monitors, now on both Windows and Mac OS X systems
• More flexible motion tracking (Professional edition only)
so you can track a layer’s scale, the X or Y axis only and
edit the motion path of a tracked layer
• Scripting support (Professional edition only) for automating
production tasks
For more detailed information about these and other new features
in After Effects 6.5, please refer to the Adobe After Effects 6.5
New Feature Highlights, which you can find at
www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/newfeatures.html.
What operating systems does After Effects support? After Effects supports the latest platforms from both Apple
and Microsoft, including Mac OS X 10.3.2, Windows 2000, and Windows
XP® with Service Pack 4 or Windows XP Professional or Home Edition
with Service Pack 1.
I’m interested in the new Adobe Video Collection. Can I
upgrade from After Effects? You can upgrade from any previous version of After Effects
Standard to the Adobe Video Collection 2.5 Standard for just $799
(USD), saving more than $800 (USD) over upgrading After Effects
and buying the other products separately. If you own After Effects
Professional or any version of the After Effects Production Bundle,
you can upgrade to the Adobe Video Collection 2.5 Professional for
just $1199 (USD). Please note that prices are approximate and do
not include taxes, shipping, handling, or other related expenses.
Will After Effects 6.5 work well with my other Adobe software? Tighter integration with other Adobe products—especially
those in the Adobe Video Collection—is an important enhancement
in this release because it allows you to work more efficiently.
For example, text from Photoshop CS files—point text, paragraph
text, and text on a path—is fully editable when you import
native PSD files as compositions, and Photoshop CS files saved with
16-bit color can be imported into After Effects with layers remaining
intact. New import options in After Effects 6.5 enable you to choose
specific sequences to import within an Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 project
file. Drap and drop content, or copy and paste clips between After
Effects 6.5 and Adobe Premiere Pro. After Effects 6.5 reads all
markers set up in Adobe Premiere Pro. When you later import this
footage into Adobe Encore DVD, these markers are available to set
up chapter points in Adobe Encore DVD. You can directly import and
enhance Adobe Encore DVD menus, or use After Effects 6.5 to transform
groups of layers into buttons or label a specific layer as a video
background for a motion menu with just one click. After Effects
6.5 automatically adds the correct namingconventions and formats,
so that menus you create in After Effects import directly into Adobe
Encore DVD.
What is GridIron X-Factor™ and how do I get it? GridIron X-Factor is a new grid computing technology for After
Effects 6.5 that is available for the Professional edition. Unlike
a render farm, which uses multiple CPUs to render frames at the
end of a project, GridIron X-Factor uses CPUs on a network to speed
up processing in After Effects 6.5 while you are working. After
Effects 6.5 Professional users can download a grid rendering plug-in
at no charge from the Grid-Iron web site: www.gridironxfactor.com/download.
What is Color Finesse from Synthetic Aperture and how do I get
it? After Effects 6.5 (Standard and Professional, both retail and
upgrade versions) includes the Color Finesse plug-in from Synthetic
Aperture, a professional color processing system that uses a 32-bit
floating-point color space for precise adjustments. With Color Finesse
you can fine tune color corrections in HSL, RGB, CMY, and YCbCr
color spaces, and also take advantage of automatic color matching
and custom correction curves. You can monitor all color levels using
Color Finesse’s built-in waveform monitor, vectorscope, histogram,
and correction curve displays. The Color Finesse plug-in is located
on the application CD and needs to be installed separately.
What are the new Cycore effects and how do I get them? After Effects 6.5 (Standard and Professional, both retail and
upgrade versions) includes bundled effects from Cycore, the original
developers of Final Effects. Now you can add smoke and sparks to
your compositions using Particle World, blazing ray of light transitions
using Light Burst and Light Sweep, or change all the colors in an
image to just three hues using Toner. These effects are located
on the application CD and need to be installed separately. Please
note that Education versions of After Effects do not include these
effects.
What is Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator Classic, and how do I get it? Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator Classic is ideal for film and motion
graphics designers wanting to add custom 3D elements and 3D text
to their work without ever having to leave After Effects. Zaxwerks
3D Invigorator Classic, a $495 (USD) value, is included in the box
for customers who purchase the retail version of After Effects 6.5
Professional or upgrade from the Standard edition of After Effects
to the Professional edition. Customers who purchase the Standard
edition of After Effects, or who upgrade to version 6.5, receive
a $200 (USD) discount coupon from Zaxwerks good toward the purchase
of 3D Invigorator (Classic or Professional versions).
What are the 3D Assistants Lite plug-ins and how can I get them? After Effects 6.5 Professional edition also includes the 3D
Assistants Lite plug-ins from Digital Anarchy, which make arranging
and animating 3D Layers easy. Quickly arrange 3D layers into cubes,
tunnels, or just distribute them throughout the 3D space in your
composition. The three keyframe assistants have an easy to use interface
that makes setting up complex arrangements and animations of 3D
layers simple. These plugins are located on the application CD and
need to be installed separately.
What is Keylight and how can I access it? Keylight is a technical Academy Award winning green and bluescreen
keying tool from the Foundry. Included in After Effects 6.5 Professional,
it is located on the application CD and needs to be installed separately.
Does any training come with After Effects? When you purchase After Effects (either full retail or upgrade)
you’ll receive a DVD produced by Total Training that includes
more than three hours of training on After Effects and Adobe’s
other video products. Note that French versions of After Effects
6.5 do not include this DVD.
Why should I register Adobe After Effects?
When you register your Adobe products, you receive expert technical
support, new product announcements, special offers, and early notice
of product upgrades. As a registered owner of the current version

to keep informed about new technical how-tos, software updates,
and more. After Effects users can also connect to a lively user
to user forum at
www.adobe.com/support/forums/main.html.
Will After Effects grow with my professional needs?
You choose between the Standard edition and Professional edition,
and an open architecture enables thirdparty developers, such as
The Foundry, Digital Anarchy, Automatic Duck, Profound Effects,
Synthetic Aperture, and Zaxwerks to produce plug-ins that are closely
integrated with the tools and environment of After Effects. This
means you have access to a wide range of affordable design options
that simply aren’t available with other motion graphics products.
For a comprehensive list of third-party plug-ins for After Effects,
visit www.adobe.com/products/plugins/aftereffects.
Does the same software used to create opening titles and visual
effects in feature films have a place in business communications? Absolutely. The need to communicate—with customers, prospects,
and employees—is at the heart of every business. And communications
that engage your audience with motion and animation are the ones
that get noticed and get their points across. Adobe After Effects
makes high-quality motion graphics and visual effects affordable
and accessible to film and video professionals, Web content creators,
video enthusiasts, and graphic designers alike. Whether you’re
creating a motion picture, Web site, a retail POP display, a training
video, a tradeshow presentation, or a sales demo, Adobe After Effects
helps bring your messages to life.
