D – Dice Game
Problem Two players have two dice each. The player who throws bigger sum wins. Who has higher chances of winning? Solution For each player, calculate the probability distribution of his/her throws (calculate the probability of each possible outcome). Using this information, determine the probability of winning for both players. Shorter solution Insight: both distributions are symmetric around the mean. Therefore it’s enough to compare the expected values of both probability distributions – compare the sum of both lines of input.

Problem Author: Markus S. Dregi, Pål G. Drange NCPC 2014 solutions
Solution Branching on putting either v or one of its neighbors in the solution yields a 5k · n time algorithm. Too slow. (Unless clever heuristics) After picking the first vertex, there is always a vertex of degree at most 3. Branching on the lowest degree vertex yields 4k n time provided that connected components are solved separately. Can get accepted, depending on implementation. Branching on picking either v or pairs of neighbors yields a 3k · n time algorithm, due to the recurrence T (k ) = T (k − 1) + 6T (k − 2). Accepted. Combining the two algorithms, solving components independently, branching on lowest degree vertex and trying pairs of neighbors, gives the recurrence T (k ) = T (k − 1) + 3T (k − 2) yielding a 2.31k · n time algorithm. Even more accepted.

Look at the given formula for Cn and figure out that Cn satisfies the recurrence C0 = 1 and Cn+1 = n k =0 Ck · Cn−k , which means that the numbers Sn are just the Catalan numbers shifted one place to the right. Calculate Sn for some values of n offline and notice the pattern. . .

Problem Given a graph G , answer a number of queries of the following form: We place tokens at vertices A and B . The goal is to swap the tokens, and we look for a swapping procedure that maximizes the minimum distance between the tokens during the swapping. Insight Construct a graph of states H : V (H ) — pairs of vertices of G , represent tokens’ positions. E (H ) — transitions of tokens. Goal: a max-min safeness path between (A, B ) and (B , A) in G First approach: search in H for every query. Time complexity: O (n3 m log n), too slow.

F – Particle Swapping (2/2)
Solution Answer all the n(n − 1) possible queries, memoize the answers. Sort vertices of H by safeness, and construct H by adding the vertices from the highest safeness to the lowest. Maintain a list of connected components, and merge them accordingly when introducing edges. Answer to query (A, B ) = first moment when (A, B ) and (B , A) fall into the same connected component. Always merge the smaller component into the larger ⇒ Amortized time for a merge is O (log n). Queries answered while iterating through the smaller component. Time complexity: O (nm + n2 log n).

B – Basin City Surveillance
Problem Given a simple graph with maximum degree ∆(G ) ≤ 4 and an integer k ≤ 15, compute whether the independent set number α (G ) ≥ k . That is, does there exist a set of vertices S of size at least k such that for every two vertices u and v of S , uv is not an edge of the graph. Insight If a vertex v is not in a maximal independent set, at least one of its neighbors is. If n ≥ 5k , then the answer is possible. If there is no solution containing v , then every solution contains at least two of v ’s neighbors.

Problem For a graph with edge labels in {0, 1, 2}, minimize a set of vertices S s.t. for every edge e , exactly lab(e ) of its endpoints are in S . Insight If lab(e ) ∈ {0, 2} the state of both endpoints is decided, propagate information through the entire connected component. Solution Suppose lab(e ) = 1 for every edge in G , we two-color. Find an uncolored vertex v , color it with some color red. Do DFS through the graph, color the neighborhood of the current vertex with the opposite color (blue). For each connected component, take the smallest color class. Time complexity: O (n + m).

Navisworks 2014及更新版本对点云数据的增强功能分析说明书
CL10684Navisworks has a Point to Prove, But What is the Point?Ian PhilpottJ Murphy and SonsLearning Objectives• Use Recap to extract the required data from the point cloud and import in to Navisworks • Use Navisworks to manually verify headroom clearance from a road alignment to a point cloud ofan existing structure • Use clearance envelopes with Navisworks Clash Detective to automate structure clearance checks • Using Navisworks to visualise complex projects and demonstrate visibility requirements toapproving authoritiesDescriptionNavisworks 2014 onwards gained an enhanced capability to utilise point cloud data via the use of the Recap engine. The aim of this class is to demonstrate how this enhanced capability can be used on infrastructure projects with point clouds upwards of 2.5billion points. As Infrastructure Engineers we often have to work around existing constraints of buildings, footbridges, flyovers, railway arches, bridges and a wide range of other structures, all of which need clearances from our carriageway envelopes. We will look at how these large point clouds can be used to not only demonstrate these interactions to our clients and stakeholders but also how to utilise the model to check lateral and headroom clearances and visually inspect visibility issues.Your AU ExpertsIan has recently joined J Murphy and Sons as a Civil BIM Lead after 14 years at Aecom (formerly Scott Wilson / URS). Ian’s role is to develop the Civil BIM capabilities, both in terms of technology and process across Civil, Water, Power and Rail sectors. He specializes in 3D modelling and coordination of complex infrastructure projects and championing the use of 3D modelling and Building Information Modelling (BIM) across teams in multiple offices. Ian also has experience of leading discipline steering groups,standards development and template/workflow creation for the use of AutoCAD Civil 3D, Infraworks and Navisworks. Ian has extensive project experience in the design, 3D modelling and model co-ordination on major urban regeneration and development projects across many disciplines including highways,infrastructure, drainage, utilities, and external building interfaces using AutoCAD Civil 3D and Navisworks software.IntroductionAn enormous part of civil engineering projects is interface management, whether that is interfaces between new permanent works and existing features or clearances to enable construction to be undertaken safely and effectively.Point cloud capture technology now enables these features to be surveyed in unprecedented detail. But there is no point in capturing detail if you aren’t going to utilise the data in a meaningful and productive manner.Data PreparationA proper process of data management is essential in a BIM project workflow. This process starts withyour existing site data and at the beginning of the project. Failure to manage your data effectively willadd further complexity as the project progresses and is much harder to correct later than if donecorrectly at the beginning.Point Cloud Clean UpDepending on when and how the point cloud data was captured will determine how much clean-up is required. As an example a point cloud of a highway will need more cleaning up than a rail survey. Iwould recommend that the survey specification includes cleaning up the data as this is best carried outby the survey team as the software provided with the scanners has specialist tools for this process. Summarised below are the key points in cleaning up your point cloud data in both Recap and Civil3D.•Noise removal – Utilising Recap any area of noise can be identified.Noise caused byvehicle passingthrough duringscanningTo create Civil3D surfaceIn order to create a surface from the point cloud data it is necessary to transfer the data from Recap to Civil3D. There are two main ways this can be accomplished.• Option 1 – Export / ImportIn earlier versions of Civil3D it wasn’t possible to create surfaces directly from the Recap files. To overcome this, the recap file can be exported as a .pts file. From the home tab in Recap select the highlighted iconto export the project. Use Limit Box to isolate area of noise so they can be erased without affecting points to be retained Noise can bedeleted by window select and pressing deleteIn Civil3D, start a new drawing in yourCivil3D template. Go to the Prospector tab and right click on Point CloudsGive the point cloud a name and choose thedisplay styleChoose the importformat, .pts in thiscase and use the +icon to open thedialogue to select thefile to import•Option 2 – Direct Reference and Surface Creation – In Civil3D 2015 a subscription extension was release to allow the creation of surfaces directly from Recap point clouds. In Civil3D 2016 a “Create Surfaces from Point Cloud” can be found on the “Home” tab in the “Surfaces” drop down. From there on the process is the same.Attach the Recap filefrom the referencemanagerAlternatively via the “Attach” command in “Point Cloud” section in the “Insert” tabSelect “Create Surface from PointCloud”Select the point cloudthen go back to the“General” tab andgive the point cloud aname. In the “Non-Ground PointFiltering” tab choosethe filtering method.I find KringingInterpolation themost effective forremoving vegetationand vehicles. Click“Create Surface” andCivil3D will work inthe background tocreate a surface thepoint cloudSurface SimplificationEven after some filtering at import and applying a boundary, so only the carriageway remains, the number of points is still excessive (>2.6million). This has a major impact on Civil3D performance for little or no gain in level accuracy. The number of points can be reduced further and Civil3D performance increased by using surface simplification just like any other Civil3D surfaces.Select our surface and fromthe “Surface Edit” menuselect Simplify SurfaceAdjust the percentage of points and maximum change in elevation. This will depend on the density of the point cloud and what has been surveyed. For example a survey of earthworks in an open field the maximum elevation change could be increased to 0.2m or greater. But for road pavement tie-ins a tighter tolerance is neededThe filtering has removed 1.5M points from the surface but still maintained the accuracy to plus/minus10mm from the original dataImport Point Cloud NavisworksThe point cloud data can be directly appended in to the Navisworks model and even with large data sets the navigation is smooth. However, some regeneration lag is obvious as the point cloud data loads when you move to an area outside the previous display envelope. It is recommended that point cloud model are broken up in to manageable segments that can then be switched on/off inside Navisworks asneeded but can all be switched on when required for presentations.Preparing Your Civil3D Model for NavisworksHow you prepare the Civil3D model for Navisworks will depend on the current design stage and whether you want the information to speed up the design process or to present in the information more formally. Summarised below are the workflows for each:-•Design Workflow – The aim of this is to provide quick transfer of data between Civil3D and Navisworks for use as design verification.o Set corridor surface to triangulation.o Create a Layer State with only your main surface layer and surface triangles layer switched on.o Export surface to a .nwc file (NWCOUT). This is not as quick as direct import of .dwg in to Navisworks but gives more reliable results.•Presentation Workflow – The aim of this is to get better quality data in to Navisworks for a more professional output at presentation stages.o Select corridor.o From the ribbon select “Extract Corridor Solids”.o Add Baseline Regions and adjust any settings.o Click Create Solids.o Create a new layer state where only the solid are shown then export to a .nwc.Which one do you use? The design workflow is just that, it gets you the answers you need in terms of being able to see your design and measure from it. The presentation workflow gives you the ability to colourise not only the surface but also the kerb, earthworks and pavement construction. Much more visual control for presentation and when sectioning through the data.The Manual WorkflowThe manual workflow is a very simple process of using Navisworks to check the clearance. Why would you do this in Navisworks and not just within your design software such as Civil3D I here you ask? Well, there are some advantages / disadvantages but it is all about having tools in your toolbox so that you can use the right method for each situation as it presents itself on a project.•Advantageso A more visual process inside Navisworks than within Civil3D.o Results can easily be saved as picture which can be incorporated in to a design verification report.o Viewpoints can be saved to you can easily return to ensure the results remain valid as designs evolve and change.•Disadvantageso Additional process.Manual Headroom ChecksNow we have done all that data preparation we can check some headrooms. This manual process can be used at any time, particularly useful if you only have a simple case or a single clearance to check. I like to use it during my design process just to make sure the headroom is about right, small adjustments can then be made later based on other influencing factors. Manual headroom checks are so easy.Pan and rotate your model until the two elements to be measured between are visible.On the “Review” tab drop open the “Measure”command and select “Pointto Point”.Again on the “Review” tab open the “Lock” menu and select “Z Axis”. This ensures a true vertical headroommeasurement is taken.Now select a point on the underside of the bridge and on the road (Note icon changes depending on whether you are selecting a point or a face). Converting to a Redline automatically creates a saved view of that dimension which can be renamed in the SaveViewpoints window.Adding Some Little HelpersFinding it hard to locate where you want to measure to or from using this manual method? Why not leave yourself some little helpful markers. Place some Civil3D COGO points or a feature line on the surface where you want to measure up from. Don’t forget to adjust your Navisworks export layer state so they are visible in the export.The Intermediate WorkflowThe intermediate workflow gives the ability to use Navisworks Clash Detective without the complexity of working with Subassembly Composer. On the downside without using Subassembly Composer some versatility in customising the shape of the clearance envelope is lost. This workflow also only became possible with the addition of the “Extract Surface as a Solid” command in Civil3D 2015 Productivity Pack 1 and onwards. So, what is the workflow?Create a new assembly, using generic links to represent the top and width of theclearance envelope. Use a “Link Vertical” subassembly to set the height of the clearance envelope. This allows the alignment and profile created for the main road ensuring that clearance height is dynamic to the road surface. Don’t forget to omit the link on the vertical leg.Create a corridor based on the new clearance assembly and extend the corridor over the region where the clearance check is to be performed. Now create a surface for this clearancecorridor.Select the surface and from the “Extract from Surface” drop down select “Extract Solids from Surface”.Enter the depth of solid to extract. This should be the same as the height of the vertical link in the corridor subassembly. Don’t forget this need a MINUS sign or the solid will be from the surface upwards. Now set the layer state to show this and export to a Navisworks file.Append the clearance solid model to the Navisworksmodel.Right click on the clearance model in the “Selection Tree” and under “Override Item” the colour and transparency can be adjusted. It can be clearly seen in this view that the clearance envelope impinges on the bridge. Open Clash Detective, create a new clash test and give it a name. Select the components to be clash tested. For this test the type of test needs to be set to “Clearance” the tolerance to “0.001m” and “Points” select for the point cloud model.Now run the test.identified but this is only asgood as how the data is setupin the first place. It is obviousin this example where theclash is but it doesn’taccurately pinpoint theproblem. If the problem areahad been less obvious e.g. adrainage pipe from the deckabove this method will havestill flagged an issue sofurther investigation could beundertaken.The Advanced WorkflowThe advanced workflow utilises subassembly composer to create a bespoke subassembly to representthe clearance envelope. The advantage of this workflow is that it can be customised to work in multiplesituations. For example, additional links could be added to model structure free zones. The principlecould also be adapted to create clearance envelopes of a wide variety of shapes and sizes that couldn’tbe easily supported by the intermediate workflow. The disadvantage is that a degree of skill in the useof subassembly is required, although a valuable software add-on, not a commonly used one. Subassembly CreationThis section describes how Subassembly Composer can be used to create a subassembly that forms aclearance envelope that can be used to perform the clearance clash check with. These principles couldbe applied to a multitude of situations and these are generally only limited by what can be imagined orthe skill level to make Subassembly Composer / Civil3D do what is required. The first stage is to create asketch of the subassembly to be created.Sketch the subassembly and annotate with the required points links and parameter to be incorporated.Open Subassembly Composer and got to the “Input/Output Parameter” tab. The follow parameters are needed. - Width left & right of the alignment.- Headroom could be 1 value or 2 as here. -Sag Correction which is important for road design.Now “Target Parameters” -TAR_EX_ROAD is crucial this will make links L1 & L2 follow the surface of the road.-CH_LEFT & RIGHT allow the width of L1 and L2 to be overridden bytargeting alignments / features lines or polylinesin the design.Links L1 & L2 are “Surface Links” meaning correctly targeted they will follow a Civil3D surface. The Input Parameters and Target Parameters previously set upare used on control variousfunctions (as highlighted).Points P5 & P6 are insertedwith the associated links. TheY axis dimension is controlledusing an equation ofparameters created above.Corridor ConstructionBefore the subassembly can be used to create a corridor, it has to be imported in to Civil3D. This can be done from the “Import Subassemblies” command on the “Insert” tab of the main ribbon. A corridor can then be created in the same manner as the intermediate option but instead of creating surface solids a set of corridor solids will be created. This can be done by selecting the corridor and selecting the “Extract Corridor Solids” from the ribbon.Export to NavisworksAgain, this follows a very similar process to the intermediate process.Navisworks Clash DetectionWe have already shown that Clash Detective is a very powerful analytical tool inside Navisworks. If your modelling process is correctly set-up then the headroom check can not only become automated in to your review process but can also be reused on project after project. In order to maximise the benefit of this workflow, there are a number of points that need to be considered.• A consistent naming protocol must be used to name the clearance envelope objects. This enable a Search Set to be created within Navisworks to automatically select these clearanceenvelopes which can then be clash checked against the point cloud.•Save this search Search Set so it can be reused on the next project, providing the same objectnaming convention is used.•This process would then enable any number of clearance envelopes to be checked in a single process AND repeated at any time as the design evolves without significant rework.•Using the Clash Detective also automates the compliance reporting of these clearance checks. The process for creating and running these tests in Clash Detective are, again, as shown for the intermediate process.Clash Detective 2.0Both the intermediate and advanced workflows do a great job in automating the workflow of checking clearance envelopes but the results from clash checking against a point cloud don’t easily hone in on the clashing area only that one exists. How can this be improved?•What can we do now?o Extract the element to be checked against from the bulk point cloud and save it as a different file thus only checking the clearance object against the actual object to bechecks.o Take that a step further for complex project and split the object down further in to say deck and piers.o Understand if this process is going to be needed when specifying your point cloud survey. Tell your survey team so they can help with the tasks above at time of captureand post processing.•What can future software do?o Object recognition, turn the point cloud in to model objects.o Highlight points within the point cloud that are affected.VisualisationVisualisation is becoming an increasingly important part of civil engineering projects. It can be used as part of the design process, stakeholder management and approval process. In 2014 Navisworks gained the ability to handle point cloud data via the Recap engine which significantly enhanced the capability by allowing existing site features to be quickly and accurately represented in our models.VisibilityWhen working on highways and rail projects visibility to particular features such as signals and signs are critical. The minimum distances at which these features are visible is governed by design rules and have to be checked and verified during the design process.There is no specific functionality within Navisworks to perform these visibility checks but these check can be easily achieved with a manual process and stored for future reference. The workflow is as follows:-•Process the point cloud data in Recap.•Model your highway / railway (or whatever) in Civil3D.•Place the entity to checked for visibility e.g. traffic sign within the Civil3D model.•Place a marker in the Civil3D model at the observation location.•Set the layerstate in Civil3D to “Navis Export” (see above) and export the Civil3D model.•Create a new Navisworks model and append both the Recap data and the Civil3D data.•Navigate to the observation location within Navisworks and save the viewpoint.• If the object to be observed isn’t visible navigate to a position where it is visible and place a tag.This saves a viewpoint and enables a comment to be saved. The distance can then be measured to the object using the measure tools. Although this might seem like a primitive workflow in practice it’s very effective as it not only considers the horizontal plane but also the vertical plane. Furthermore, the impact of other features such as lighting columns and tree canopies that are hard to assess on 2D plans are also assessed easily. Not to forget a picture says a thousand words.What Else Can I Do?We have looked at clearance check and visibility, but what else can be done utilising the power of Navisworks with point clouds?• Complex interface assessments`FIGURE 1 - INTERFACE ASSESSMENT EXAMPLE • Temporary works assessments.• Traffic management space planning.SummaryTo summarise, the use of Recap, Civil3D, Subassembly Composer and Navisworks can enhance the design process by enabling the utilisation detailed point cloud data to be used to clash check and visualise the complex interfaces of Civil Engineering projects. Looking at the objectives you should now be able to do the following:-• Use Recap to manipulate the point cloud data to make is manageable when importing it in toCivil3D and use Civil3D to refine the point cloud information in to intelligent but manageable surfaces.• Combine the point cloud data and Civil3D data in Navisworks and use Navisworks tools toquickly check headroom.Interface with existing brick arch bridge. Unsurveyed at time of design due to access restrictions.Determine height of cut off wall, again in an area unsurveyed due to access restrictions.•Use two methods to create clearance envelopes in Civil3D and then use Navisworks Clash Detective to automate the clash checking process, checking a the full envelope rather than just a few point locations.•Use Navisworks to visualise aspects of your project and demonstrate to approving authorities that issues such as clearance and visibility have been considered.。

LMS Steering Group Oracle OpenWorld 2014说明书
TALKING STRUCTURE– FROM APPROACH TO MEASUREMENT OF THELICENSE MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONVIEWS FROM THE LMSSTEERING GROUPORACLE OPENWORLD2014PART 1: TALKING PHILOSOPHY – AND THE DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO LICENSE MANAGEMENT The event began with a general question posed to the group: what is the current ‘character’ of their license management operations, and where should future developments guide them? In effect there are two primary axes by which to measure any approach:Y AXIS: REACTIVE VERSUS PROACTIVE Does your organization accept that the resources needed to create the detailed visibility of deployed assets and usage are simply unavailable, and that the response to any audit will be ad hoc – or are you constantly looking for the next opportunity to improve utilization and compliance and actively approaching vendors for advice?X AXIS: CONTROL VERSUS MANAGEMENT Do you see the role of your team as one of enforcement to ensure the organization is following protocol? Or is it one of management, and understanding how individuals are using the assets you have in order to predict future demand?Attendees at the Steering Group were asked to plot both their current position (•ProactiveControl ManagementA DIFFERENCE OF OPINIONThe results show an even movement toward both‘Proactive Management’, and ‘Proactive Control’. The next question therefore is why? How are different approaches guided by contrasting philosophies, and what are the intended objectives?In the words of one Steering Group attendee: “We’re actually in the early maturity stageof license management as an organization, particularly as we come to terms with the impact of a significant acquisition. As a company we have good controls in place, but they are all decentralized and we do suffer from a lack of detailed visibility of what’s actually going on. As a result, the first thing we’re trying to do is gain better visibility to minimize the chance that we’ll have to deal with any nasty surprises.”For another attendee, what mattered most was striking a balance between controland management.“We want to trust our teams that they’re using licenses appropriately, but at the same time we also want to verify their approach. To help, we spend a lot of time trying to educate them in order to inspire better choices with regards to the capabilities needed and procurement source. That’s not to say, however, thatwe want to lay all responsibility at the feetof end users, and despite adopting a more decentralized model we still expect to keep an eye on the decisions being made.”This was an approach that resonated withthe experiences of many attendees. As one described: “Our situation is very similar. In fact, for cost reasons, we’re going through the process right now of looking at the various licenses we have across different product groups to find out which has the most efficient band. What we’re looking for are products with comparable features, and how they map to the ‘business justification’ for maintaining and investing in them in accordance with our overall corporate strategy. For the license team it’s really about trying to control costs so that when new capabilities are rolled out we’re getting the most effective spend for the investment.”For another attendee, the deciding factor was risk: “My organization has moved from a reactive stance to much more proactive capabilities. Our primary goal is to ensure we have effective coverage across allour vendors, and particularly the high-risk suppliers to make sure our approach is aligned to their recommendations – and ideally a lot stricter. In some cases we’re going to be more reactive as some of our smaller vendors may not be appearing on the radar – and in these instances we are looking for some form of internal red flag that when raised encourages immediate investigation.”EXPERT OPINION The decision licensing teams make as to their position between control and management is inevitably influenced by the expertise available, and the organizational structure within which they reside. As one attendee described: “We have a global license manager which in effect means we have a central operations group. Oracle is one of our leading strategic partners, but even here our biggest challenge is at the executive level where much of what we hope to achieve is dependent upon finding people who truly understand the value of what we’re trying to do.”The level of expertise available also differs markedly between organizations. Possibly the most common situation was summed up by an attendee who described his company’s centralized operation: “I report to the CFO and offer extensive Oracle expertise, alongside other specialists that deal with the more important vendor groups – and ‘generalists’ who cater for more isolated investments.In addition, we weighted our portfolio of vendors and products then assigned owners for each to start the control process. What the business has to recognize is that we have multiple partners, each with different access rights, licensing metrics, management, and controls – an expansive range of technical demands and we need thecapabilities to accommodate each.”IN SUMMARY The choice between control versus management, reactive versus proactive is to a large extent determined by what people actually want. In certain situations users actually prefer tight controls and don’t require excessive support. In others, the provision of anything but an ‘open’ license environment is seen as counterproductive in the drive for greater innovation. Cost will always be an important consideration, and not just to ensure the technologies being purchased and supported are actually being used – but also that spend is closely aligned to future business demand. In fact, it is how this demand is shaped – either through a relatively fixed corporate structure or more organically as need evolves – that can have the biggest impact on the structure of today’s licensing teams.PART 2:TALKING STRUCTURE – FROM LICENSING METRICS TO PROCUREMENTThe discussion began with an overviewfrom one attendee as to how his company’s licensing team has developed over time:“In effect, we started from scratch with the intention of maintaining decentralized (read: local) responsibility for monitoring license usage and compliance. This was important as the decision was taken to build up our teams in line with the current company structure, which led to the creation of teams on a divisional level, as well as within local reporting units.”“At the same time, and to bring all these teams together, we created a small team at the corporate level to provide a more centralized view of activity. This view is enhanced bya standard questionnaire we’ve created in partnership with KPMG to give us insights into how local units run their systems. Froma compliance perspective we report both the ‘numbers’ and overall incident levels, and supplement these with friendly internal audits.”By comparison, another attendee describeda more centralized arrangement across his organization’s global business units: “We have a network of focal points at the local level, but the decision on what to buy and the relationship with different vendors stays heavily within the business. When users determine they want a product we will get involved and consult with them on the type of licenses needed. Our goal is to identify if we can fulfill that need internally by transferring obligations (and licenses) between different areas of the company. Only if this isn’t possible will we look to buy new licenses outright.”How are licensing teams being structured to meet evolving demand from the business? What are their preferred operational structures, and what key metrics exist to provide accurate insights into performance? These were the questions posed to the Steering Group, and the answers spanned a variety of topics ranging from procurement policy to compliance.MEASURING WHAT MATTERS MOST What of the metrics used to measure the impact and effectiveness of license management teams? For one attendee, what mattered most was ensuring all assets were ‘under control’: “We define ‘under control’ as the point where we have the ability to produce any compliance reports under question – and we have about 40 people dedicated to doing just that. To support this, we heavily measure and display metrics on a dashboard to illustrate the value we’re delivering. For example we’ll ask users what a certain capability cost to deliver versus that cost for this year.We also measure “cost avoidance” which has really been a turning point for us in getting senior management interested in what we do.”Cost avoidance was a metric used by other attendees, including one who described how his organization monitored ‘net effective discount’. “The core concept here is that if you bought a core piece of software for 10% of its price, and you’re utilizing it 10% of the time, then you actually paid 100% for it – and the rest is left on the shelf. Our compliance review actually requires deployment and utilization information, whatever the related metric might be.”In the words of another attendee: “In my opinion, what senior executives want to hear about is how costs can best be avoided, and how we can harvest or reappoint different licenses. For example, where excess licenses exist: can we avoid trimming them back and reducing maintenance, and instead take a strategic look at whether we will actually need these in the next 3-4 years? If the answer is yes it would then it would be smart to continue maintenance payments and to redeploy them when the time is right. This is especially the case where the replacement costs of those licenses are much higher than the embedded costs. This type of saving and cost avoidance is where the really massive benefits can be found in our standard reports.”“In my opinion, what senior executives want to hear about is how costs can best be avoided, and how we can harvest or reappoint different licenses.”Steering Group attendeeABOUT ORACLE LMS Oracle LMS actively counteracts licensing complexity with an approach focused on two primary outcomes:• We help organizations proactively maintain compliance with Oracle licensing models and their contractual obligations to remove any financial, operational or legal risk.• We quickly develop comprehensive insights into the deployed estate to reduce inefficiency, duplication and redundancy, and align licensing requirements to actual business need.LMS can also help you gain a more centralized and coordinated view of your Oracle estate in order to make more informed business decisions. We can help you master the intricacies of maintaining,migrating and upgrading your Oracle assets to remove a significant barrier to aligning business demand and IT supply.Future Steering Groups are continually being planned.

sponsored by HP and nVidiAc harles Morgan of legendary Britishcar manufacturer, Morgan MotorCompany, says his favorite Morgancar is the one that hasn’t been builtyet. And he sees a lot of these. With Autodesk software running on HP Z Workstations with NVIDIA Quadro and Tesla GPUs, Morgan’s design department produces stunning visualizations of multiple new car designs before they are even built.“In the same amount of time it previously would have taken us to create one visual, we’re able to make many much higher quality visuals and do several different proposals,” says Jon Wells, senior designer, Morgan Motor Company, who uses NVIDIA iray, the GPU-accelerated renderer in 3ds Max Design, to produce photorealistic renderings.“When we’re doing iray renderings, we can render some fantastically beautiful outcomes almost in real-time,” he explains. “As we turn the model, we can capture a shot of what that would look like renderedup. We can spin it again and see that again ina different guise.”Wells heads up a team of designers whotogether with the engineering team presentnew formal design reviews to Morgan’sdirectors and shareholders. Doing thisin an interactive 3D environment insideAutodesk Showcase pays big dividends.“We’re all putting across our ideas andwe have to do this concisely and accurately.The best piece of equipment we have in ourarsenal to do this is the new Z1 Workstationfrom HP,” he says. “When paired with aNVIDIA Quadro graphics card, we’re ableto show ideas in great speed and accuracy,spin around 3D models on a very highdefinition, high-resolution screen. Thepeople can really fully get to understandwhat it is that we’ve been working on.“Everyone gathers around and we pitchand we talk and we present our ideas.

Components will re-appear when the model stops.With a combination of display quality and minimum frame rate it is possible to ensure that models — even very large assemblies of 40,000 or 50,000 components — will still run smoothly. This could suit the workflow of those working on large industrial machinery, where quick and accurate model orientation is more important than aesthetics. Conversely, an industrial designer may choose to prioritize visual quality and smooth curves over frame rate. It’s all about finding the right balance.In Autodesk Showcase 2014 use the automatic quality control slider to find a happy medium between 3D performance and visual quality. When set to ‘high’ frame rates may slow down to maintain visual quality. When set to ‘low’ the level of detail (LOD) will drop, but performance should rise. Select ‘Increase level of detail when idle’ to improve visual quality to the highest possible LOD when the model is not moving.In 3ds Max Design 2014 turn on adaptive degradation to improve performance in the Nitrous viewport. Adaptive degradation works by temporarily decreasing the visual fidelity of certain objects.Users can also set a minimum frame ratethat the adaptive display will attempt to maintain. If the frame rate drops below this, the amount of degradation will increase.Other ways of improving viewport performance in 3ds Max Design include reducing the resolution of texture maps and temporarily turning off all viewport lights, so only default lighting is used.In 3ds Max Design and Showcasegrouping and combining objects can also increase 3D performance.frame rates to find a balance between performance and visual qualitynVidiA irAy Gpu-Based ray tracinGray tracing creates physically accurate, photorealistic renderings by tracing light. It is a computationally-intensive process, traditionally carried out by multi-core CPUs. However, in recent years, GPU-based ray trace renderers have also come into focus. One of the most notable is NVIDIA iray, which is available inside 3ds Max Design 2014.NVIDIA iray can be accelerated by both CPUs and CUDA-based GPUs, but it thrives on GPUs with lots of cores and on-board memory.If a single HP Z Workstation has dedicated GPUs for both interactive graphics and rendering (NVIDIA Maximus – see page 6) it is possible to design and render at the same time without impacting workflow. It is important to note that the GPU must have enough memory to load in the entire scene (including textures). If not, iray will fall back to using the system’s CPUs. If Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory is supported on the GPU it should be disabled for best performance.In general, iray only supports material or shader features relating to physically based ray tracing. In 3ds Max Design these are the general-purpose mental ray materials — Autodesk Materials and Arch & Design.K20 Gpus delivers up to 9x faster rendering in 3ds max design using iray. this maximus configuration also lets you simultaneously render scenes while you continue designing nVidia maximus is not limited to one type of application, such as rendering with iray. a multi-Gpu workstation can also be used to accelerate solvers in nVidia cuda-optimized simulation tools, including an hp z820 workstation can be fitted with up to three Gpus, in any combination.a solid state drive (ssd) is recommended for optimal performance. complex datasets should load and save quicker and, as latency is low, the hp z workstation will feel more responsive. random read / write access is also fast, which is particularly important when multi-tasking andswapping between applications.while ssds are superior to traditional hard disk drives (hdds) in terms of performance, their cost per GB is still relatively high. as a result, ssds are commonly ring fenced for operating system, applications and current datasets, while a high capacity hdd drive is used to store other assets and datasets.storAge (HArd driVes)HP Z WorkstAtionsoPtiMiZed For Autodesk Product design suiteHP Workstations deliver the performance, reliability, and application certifications required to accelerate product development workflowsH P offers a complete range ofdesktop and mobile workstationsbuilt for the challenges of productdevelopment —from part and assembly modeling with Autodesk Inventor to cinematic quality renderings and animations with 3ds Max Design.The HP Z Workstation family meets the full range of workstation needs—from performance-driven computing and design work in space-constrained environments to extreme visualization with complex datasets.HP ZBook Mobile Workstations offer high performance with exceptional battery life and feature a chassis inspired by aerospace craftsmanship and materials.There are other specific advantages for Autodesk customers.
