3.3 G-Sync Framelock Support

This section supplements information on job launch scripts in the SVA User's Guide.

Framelock allows the display channels from multiple workstations to be synchronized, thus

creating one large virtual display that can be driven by a multisystem cluster for performance

scalability.

In order to take advantage of the new G-Sync framelock support in Patch Kit 2 you need the

following:

1. A G-Sync capable application.

2. A G-Sync capable graphics card correctly installed on a display node. Currently, SVA

supports the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 graphics card for framelock capability.

3. The NVIDIA Quadro G-Sync option card. This card combines with the NVIDIA Quadro FX

4500 to provide framelock, genlock, and synchronized framebuffer swap and refresh rate.

SVA V1.1 users with properly installed G-Sync hardware already can enable and disable framelock

for SVA interactive jobs. You can do this using the nvidia-settings utility provided by

NVIDIA with their graphics cards and drivers. This GUI tool lets you select a number of displays,

choose a master node, and enable or disable hardware framelock. However, other types of SVA

jobs lack this functionality. In Patch Kit 2, both interactive and noninteractive jobs can enable

hardware framelock on any Display Surface with the necessary hardware.
