What is a GPU hour?
A GPU hour is a measurement of computational time by a GPU core. In 3DOptix, if you run one GPU for one hour, that’s one GPU hour. If you run 10 GPUs for 10 hours, that’s 100 GPU hours. If you run 100 GPUs for 1 hour, that’s 100 GPU hours. If your simulation runs on one GPU for one hour, then you just burned a GPU hour. Preprocessing and postprocessing activities do not burn any core-hours.
Do my GPU hours accumulate at the end of each year?
GPU hours do not carry over Year-to-Year. GPU hours will be topped back up to your plan at the start of the Annual Subscription.
Are my designs private?
Basic (Free) plan – public designs. They will show on the 3DOptix Warehouse. Other plans – designs are private by default and stored securely. Users with private designs have the option to publish their designs on the 3DOptix Warehouse.
Can I use the 3DOptix software in my Publications?
Yes, as long as you reference 3DOptix in your publication.
