Waching daily Mar 22 2018

- [Krazy Ken] Oh, boy, I think this could get interesting.

I'm not gonna tell you what time I'm at yet,

but it's a pretty good number.

This is way freakin' faster (laughs) than I thought it was.

But I also wanted to show the right software

to go with your hardware is key.

Maybe you wanna think about that before you

drop a bunch of money on something.

(rhythmic beeps) (keyboard clicking)

(upbeat techno music)

Hey, guys, how you all doing?

Really, that's just great.

Well, you know what?

It's been about a week with the new iMac Pro,

and, real talk, for a second here,

yeah, it's not my personal machine.

It's someone's machine at the office, shh.

So what I did was, I snuck into their cubicle,

and I'm gonna do some tests on it to show you

how fast this bitch is and maybe how not fast it is,

depending on what software we're running.

So I have loaded up these folders

on an iMac Pro and a MacBook Pro.

The iMac Pro is from late 2017,

and the MacBook Pro is from late 2013.

There was a big gap here, and I'm gonna be

pitting them against each other.

So we're gonna start with a few things here,

and we're gonna run some other benchmark

software as well starting with Cheetah3D.

We're gonna load up some models.

All the textures are missing.

This is great.

I'm gonna have to relink that stuff.

So what we're gonna do is we're gonna run

this 3D render on this iMac Pro

and then on the MacBook Pro and do a little speed test.

So what we have here is we are gonna be rendering

1920 x 1080, 4 x 4 antialiasing max samples

with a .05 tolerance, reflections,

lighting, everything, and boom.

Okay, that didn't work.

I clicked the wrong button.

Boom, here we go.

We're gonna render a still frame.

So as you can see here, it is, oh, you know what,

the sky might not actually be calculated.

That might be a bit of a probably right there.

Sorry, was an idiot, just had to relink a few things.

So the sky is actually being generated as an HDRI,

so I threw that back in there.

It was missing, and we're gonna let the computer paint.

While this is going, I'm just gonna brief you.

If you have not seen the previous video where I unbox

and set up this beast, I recommend checking that out.

In summary, this iMac Pro is equipped

with a 10-bit P3 display and a 14 core Xeon W.

And along with that, it features Radeon Vega chips.

I believe this is the Radeon Vega 64

with 16 gigabytes of dedicated video memory, I believe,

or whatever kind of video memory it is.

I don't know all these technical things.

And did I say 14 cores already?

Oh yeah, 18, no, 128 gigs of RAM.

There we go, so I think that is more than enough.

We'll see how fast this thing goes.

And we are done.

The render clocked in at 139 seconds on the iMac Pro.

Now, let's switch over to the MacBook Pro

and see what that can do.

Whoosh, here we are at the MacBook Pro.

We're gonna run the same test in Cheetah3D first.

So right now, you could actually see

it's chugging along quite nicely.

Now, this is a computer that is over four years older

than the iMac Pro, and it's a laptop.

So it's all mobile chipsets and components,

so you'd think it would be way slower than that

14-core workstation but not necessarily always the case.

This is actually not as slow as I thought it would be.

So it seems to be doing okay, but once it hits that wood,

yeah, those are bump maps and specular maps.

It's gonna start slowing down a little bit.

So we'll see how long it actually takes.

All right, so the render clocked in at almost 361 seconds.

So we're looking at, yeah, almost three times as fast,

or excuse me, three times as slow.

So the iMac Pro looks like it's rendering three times

faster than this MacBook Pro is, which is rather impressive.

And again, that will vary depending on what kind

of stuff you're rending, but good.

All right, the iMac Pro's pretty darn fast.

Let's move on.

So this next test is especially useful

to people wanting to do video.

You know anybody?

Probably me.

It's by Blackmagic, and, coincidentally, I am shooting

this episode with a Blackmagic camera as well.

So this thing will report how fast

the M.2 SSD is inside this iMac Pro.

Let's have a look.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna choose

the largest stress test I can find.

It's gonna write a five gigabyte file in all these

different specifications down here

and test the speed and run.

Let's see how fast this thing can go.

So the first test clocked in at almost

3,000 megabytes per second on the write

and about 2,500 megabytes per second on the read.

Now we're at about 2,700 and about 2,500.

Wow, this is way freakin' faster (laughs)

than I thought it was, but yes, this is using a very,

very fast PCI Express M.2 form factor SSD.

So it is, it just screams.

So, as you can basically see, we'll stop it now.

We don't even need to continue it.

At the write, which is the left, ha ha,

we clocked in at almost three gigabytes per second of speed.

And with all these different formats down here for video,

we can easily play them back in real time,

no issues whatsoever on this iMac Pro.

Now, let's take a look at the MacBook Pro.

So here we are, same settings, same location,

five gig file, and boom.

Let's run the test.

So the initial write test clocks in at about,

eh, it's sinking actually a little bit,

just under 400 megabytes a second, it looks like.

388, okay, we're at 388 for the write.

And we're at 787 for the read.

Now this uses an M.2 form factor SSD as well,

but it does not have the same bandwidth as the iMac Pro.

So this comes to no surprise.

We're getting about, eh, I'm not gonna do the math

in my head, but like an eighth or a ninth of the speed

on the write compared to the iMac Pro.

So, as you can see, there is a huge difference

with the two machines here.

Sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln, the font did not sync.

I was using (chuckles) the Krazy Ken-branded font,

and, oops, I forgot I don't have that on this system.

So I'm gonna have to change everything to, what is that,

like, Courier or something?

I have no freakin' idea.

Anyway, here is the Adobe Premiere Pro test.

So I have some footage here from a documentary

I recently shot about this abandoned theater.

Was pretty fun, but I shot it at 422 4K 10 bit.

So it's pretty beefy, so what I did was I imported

all of that footage, and I applied a color grading

through Lumetri of 50% saturation increase,

and then I overlaid some text just

to give the system a little more complexity.

And as you can notice, it's scrubbing pretty

frickin' smooth, and it's at full resolution over here.

But you'll notice the yellow bar indicates

none of this is pre-rendered.

That's because we're gonna do a test about export time.

So let's open up our settings.

I'm just gonna do a stock H.264 export,

and we're not gonna queue this.

We're just gonna go right from Premiere,

so looks like we're at about

a minute 30 seconds remaining and at 6%.

The countdown has begun.

As you can see, it's chugging along there,

and we just passed 56 seconds

and just passed the minute mark.

It looks like we're about halfway done, one minute in, 95,

and then my favorite part, when it gets stuck

at 100% for, like, five minutes.

Let's see how long that takes.

All right, 100%, 100%.

It's probably writing to the,

there we go.

And time, two minutes and two seconds, so that whole thing

rendered in two minutes and two seconds.

And, actually I forgot to mention this earlier,

the actually, like, length of the video is

about two minutes and 15 seconds.

So it looks like we averaged about one minute

of video equaled one minute of export time.

So that was Premiere Pro on the iMac Pro.

Now let's take a look at Premiere Pro on the MacBook Pro,

and then something a little special,

Final Cut Pro on the MacBook Pro to see, maybe,

software optimizations are key to performance,

and it's not all about hardware on paper.

Specs aren't everything, and I think I showed that

in a previous comparison I did.

But we're gonna take a look at it

one more time comparing to the iMac Pro.

So here we are again with the same footage,

same format, same everything, and now we're gonna

render it with the same settings in Premiere Pro

and see how fast it is or how slow it is.

Now initially, you'll see it's definitely not scrubbing

nearly as fast as the iMac Pro was able to.

So already it looks like it's gonna be a lot slower.

But that's kind of obvious.

But how much slower?

Let's find out, three, two, one.

(laptop mouse clicks)

And we are off to the races.

I know I'm just stating the obvious, but, yes, we are

definitely clocking in at a lot slower.

We are already at three minutes,

and we're only about a third of the way through.

But again, it's pretty obvious that the iMac Pro was

gonna be faster in all these tests.

But what I wanna show is how much faster it

actually is with the time and the technology

changes between the two computers.

This program is brought to you by black Apple stickers

because they're going on eBay for, like, $10,000.

Anyway, we're still waiting for it to finish.

It's about halfway done now.

You don't have to watch this whole thing.

Well, I'm just gonna cut it.

What am I talking about?

Yes, you do have to watch the whole video.

Yeah, you're gonna sit here.

You're gonna watch it.

♪ Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping ♪

♪ Into the future ♪

All right, so we just passed

the 10 minute and eight second mark.

It looks like the dialogue box has five seconds left.

And then it's gonna hang at 100% for a while,

and then it is, oh, there it goes, and, and,

three, two, one, there we go.

Oh, that was actually pretty perfect.

Boom, we clocked in at 10 minutes and 25 seconds.

So we're looking at, yeah, the iMac Pro will render

in Adobe Premiere Pro about five times faster

than this MacBook Pro will, so I think it's safe

to say it's a pretty fast machine.

But wait, what about that whole software optimization

thing I was talking about earlier?

Let's run a similar test on the same hardware,

but this time using Final Cut Pro

as opposed to Premiere Pro.

Let's see what happens.

So Final Cut Pro is now loaded up and ready to go

on the same hardware with the same footage.

(laptop mouse clicks)

As you can see, we're actually able

to scrub this really smoothly.

We have color grading effects on here.

We have the text overlay, and all of it is unrendered.

And again, this is 10-bit footage shot at ProRes 422 in 4K.

So this is pretty beefy.

So as you can see, even just with the change of software,

oh, well isn't that nice?

Premiere crashed while I was doing that too.

Well, and that just kind of drives my point home,

but anyway, I love you Premiere, muah, kisses.

Anyway, so even just with a change of software,

we can already notice significant speed improvements.

But now, let's do that export test and time it out.

Here we go with an H.264 export.

Three, two, one, and

go. (laptop mouse clicks)

Now another nice thing is, this is actually running

in the background without me having to queue it or anything,

so I could still interact with the project if I wanted to

because it just renders in the background.

But I don't wanna skew the data, so we're just going to

leave it untouched and open up the background progress

window, or background tasks window, as it were.

And as you can see, we are already at 15%.

I'm gonna zoom into those numbers for you.

We're about to hit one minute and as you can see

we're a third of the way done with the entire timeline

export and compression into H.264.

Oh, boy, I think this could get interesting.

I'm not gonna tell you what time I'm at yet,

but it's a pretty good number.

Aw, man, this experiment is really killing my battery.

Rest in peace, battery, a moment of silence.

All right, coming in on the final stretch here, almost done.

Done, it finished before it even got to 100%

because it's just that fast, I guess.

So here is that amazing number that I was hiding,

two minutes and 27 seconds.

So it is about three times faster on the same hardware

then Premiere Pro when it comes to exporting.

And you also noticed the playback was also smoother.

But if you'll notice, Adobe Premiere Pro on the iMac Pro

with 14 cores even, exported in about two minutes.

Two minutes on the iMac Pro with Premiere Pro,

not even two and a 1/2 minutes

with Final Cut Pro on the older, slower MacBook Pro.

It was only a 30 second difference

with this computer with Final Cut Pro.

So that's kind of one of the points I wanted to drive home.

Not only in this tech video log did I wanna show

how much faster the iMac Pro is and how much faster

it's gotten over the years, but I also wanted to show

the right software to go with your hardware is key

because are you gonna drop a bunch of money on a faster

computer and use unoptimized software that's slow?

Maybe you wanna think about that

before you drop a bunch of money on something.

Maybe you just need to use the right software solution.

So I'm calling this a win.

Good discoveries all around,

and I'm curious, do we have any video editors

or maybe 3D modelers in the audience?

I kinda wanna know what you use in terms

of your hardware and software configurations

and if you're satisfied with the speed or not.

We'll see you guys soon.

Catch the crazy, and pass it on.

USF College of Nursing is preparing 21st-century nurses - Duration: 4:42.

The thing that sets USF College of Nursing apart from others is that we truly do have

interprofessional education.

What drives people here is a need to be better, a need to know more, and a need to improve

healthcare.

We want to be a pipeline between the educational program and employment post-graduation.

The nursing profession sets the table for care.

We are trained with the holistic concepts of how you take care of a patient

USF Health and the College of Nursing have affiliation agreements with about 800 clinical

partner entities in the Tampa Bay region and throughout Florida.

… we help to infuse innovation and latest thinking contemporary science into those clinical

practice partner settings.

They need to have immersion experiences in real life settings with real life patients,

and in the environment where they're gonna be providing care.

Pinellas Hope is a very large program that serves people who are homeless.

Nurses, homeless.

And so the nurses coming out here, they are able to educate.

They are able to help people with their medication having their presence here has been a great,

great advantage for our program.

Tampa General nurses

Getting my masters at USF helped me by giving me the tools that I needed to do my job.

The nurses that I hire into my unit that come from USF are the most prepared nurses

to care for patients.

They have to determine what level they are, get them from the danger level where the disaster

occurred, over to a safer area, and get them ready for transport to the hospital.

The ultimate goal for the disaster simulation is to learn to communicate with people that

you're not familiar with in a stressful situation, learn teamwork, and situational awareness.

They go through low fidelity simulations where they're learning to do a task and doing it

in context.

And then for our graduate students they go through a high-fidelity simulation.

This is the CAMLS in Tampa one of the largest freestanding simulation centers in the United

States.

We're fortunate for our nurse anesthesia program to have their offices right upstairs, so our

students get to come down here almost on a daily basis to work with state of the art

simulation, technology

The pain fellowship started to help healthcare providers understand a little bit more about

the neurophysiology of pain transmission, and alternatives other than opioids and opioid

therapy.

Research is really about scientific discovery, and we at USF Nursing pride ourselves in the

distinction of being the number-one ranked NIH college within the state of Florida.

you get a strong base of skills and critical thinking skills, focusing in research and

hypothesis and problem solving.

What we really embed in all of our students is to have a questioning mind, a questioning

attitude, a clinical inquiry.

Whether we're talking about research, clinical practice, education, or our mission here in

the College of Nursing, ultimately our goal is to improve care outcomes for our patients,

for individual patients as well as patient populations, to help them have longer, healthier,

happier lives.
