![]() ![]() Modern GPUs comprise thousand of cores able to handle large amounts of data simultaneously in many streams, performing relatively simple operations on them, initially particularly optimized for computer graphics processing which require massive data parallel operations. This search for higher performance (supported by the increasing consumer market demand for video games especially) found leverage through various technical development and improvement: from better algorithms to increasing capabilities at the manufacturing level which allow to install on a single chip multi-GPUs processors, increasing the capacity and the GPU graphics cards’ resources and leading to the evolution of the GPU to highly parallel computing dedicated circuits. An ineluctable race for speed and better performance occurred aiming to exploit the high potential power of GPU computing architecture and its possible parallel system that allows infinite development from single chip to multiples chips (parallel architecture) to multiple micro-GPUs on the same chips.īy way of reference to understand the exponential power development of GPUs let’s note that in 2009, the computing power of a GPU was 1 TFlops (against 100 GFlops for a consumer market CPU) while 10 years later (2019), the latest consumer GPU generation offers 13.2TFlops. This was very closely followed by the introduction of the Radeons ATI/AMD a couple of years later. It may not have been predictable but the launch of the Nvidia GeForce 256 in 1999 marketed as the “world first GPU” by the firm augured the tipping point to the GPU era. GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) debate is familiar and has been subject to many professional articles as well as many consumer forums to understand and discuss possible computer architecture’s system to achieve the best possible performance in terms of graphics rendering and particularly graphics involving 3D or video, it appears that major professional actors, graphics processors specialists have been working towards new solutions that open the way to multiple applications, especially through the development of massive parallel computing solutions that promise high quality results while speeding up the rendering time. Having trouble with Grevit? Check out our documentation or drop an issue at github and we’ll help you sorting it out.While CPU (Central Processing Unit) vs. Supported Applications Support or Contact Are you a happy Grevit user? Help developing on GitHub or donate so new features can be developed. Grevit saves you as professionals or students many hours but it requires some itself. If you want to keep non-profit projects like Grevit alive, support them. Many of my weekends went into building Grevit, answering support questions and implementing new features. A designer working in Grasshopper and another one working in SketchUp: both can send their geometries to one Revit instance using Grevit.Ĭheckout the SketchUp Plugin: watch this video to learn more Help the ones helping you! This way you could run Revit or ACA on a different machine than the Design Model. Why is Grevit sending data through network? Grevit does not only create BIM elements from Rhino or SketchUp, it also allows you to update BIM elements later according to your latest design changes while all parameter values remain in place. But then, any design change is forcing you to repeat the process all over again. Redrawing geometry with native BIM elements often seems to be the only solution. Static geometries won't intersect with native elements and are difficult to enhance with parameters. Why not just exporting and importing?Įxporting static geometries is working fine from Rhino or SketchUp but when it comes to a BIM workflow exporting isn't enough. Grevit Slabs, core and facade from haks on Vimeo. Grevit is Free and Open Source and you can help to make it better: contribute on GitHub. Grevit supports a lot of BIM elements: like walls, beams, columns, simple components, adaptive components, even topography and many more. Don't worry if your design changes, Grevit can even update existing geometries. Grevit follows a one way process so your design model remains the geometrical source of truth: send geometry and attributes from Rhino/Grassopper or SketchUp to Autodesk Revit or ACA. ![]() Grevit allows you to define BIM Elements in Grasshopper or SketchUp and translate them directly to Autodesk Revit or AutoCad Architecture. What is Grevit? Build your BIM Model directly in Grasshopper. ![]()
