Working With Quadro Sync - Nvidia QUADRO SYNC User Manual

WORKING WITH QUADRO SYNC

Whether working with a single node or visualization cluster the Quadro Sync board
provides multiple forms of display synchronization:
Multi-GPU Mosaic: Mosaic is a software technology that abstracts multiple physical

displays into a larger virtual display. When the virtual display spans across multiple
GPUs, the Quadro Sync board synchronizes the GPUs to ensure all the displays stay
aligned.
Frame Lock: Synchronize multiple displays, in one machine or spread across multiple

machines in a cluster. For Frame Lock a single display is chosen as the timing master
and all other displays in the cluster align to it. Frame Lock can be used with
individual physical displays and single or multi-GPU Mosaic displays.
Sync to an External Timing Source: Aligns a selected display to an external timing

generator. The selected display can be a Mosaic or physical and can be used as the
Frame Lock master if desired.
The Quadro Sync board supports mixing and matching the different synchronization
options to build the correct configuration your installation needs. Installations with
Quadro Sync can become complex and architecture decisions can impact performance
and reliability, for questions on how to architect systems with Quadro Sync or Mosaic
