Abstract: High performance computing is increasingly common in technological industries and there are many different solutions available on the market. Determining which computing solution is most cost-effective can be difficult. This study outlines the performance between a single-user, traditional high-performance workstation and a multi-user, virtualized workstation. Along with this direct performance comparison, the impacts of virtualization on rendering performance, GPUs, and the technological industry is evaluated in this study. Through the repeated rendering of two different Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models under varying test scenarios, a pool of data including render times and image quality is collected and analyzed. Two phenomena are observed and explained. One is a diminishing return in GPU power output that is observed after allocating four or more GPUs to a single rendering task. The second is a noticeable point of image-noise convergence during a render that could potentially be calculated and exploited to make rendering more time-efficient. These discoveries may impact the effectiveness of virtual GPU scalability and make time-consuming rendering more efficient for industry users. The NVIDIA GRID Visual Computing Appliance (VCA) is found to be cost effective for research laboratories that have several users with diverse needs.

Abstract: Food safety traceability is a technical tool that can effectively prevent and improve food safety problems. This paper makes an analysis of the current traceability methods and reviews the progress of catering food traceability. This paper introduced the Internet of Things, RFID electronic tags, two-dimensional code tags and other technologies, elaborated on the establishment of the food safety traceability system in conjunction with related technologies. Taking the traceability of catering and food safety as an example, The paper performs system management of catering food in the production of raw meat products, production of raw vegetable materials, procurement of raw materials, and supplementary cooking materials as well as the cooking process. It pioneers the use of single product management to achieve accurate traceability, which has realized the monitoring and management of food warehousing and logistics through sensor equipment. Accurate traceability of the sales of goods can be achieved on mobile phone app. It analyzed and designed the various links in the traceability system of catering and food safety. Then, the implementation methods and tasks undertaken in each link were given, which verified the significance of using this system.
