With HP HyperTune, users can really benefit from the deep technical knowledge HP has gained through long, cooperative relationships with the application providers. HP engineers have discovered ways to improve the graphics performance of UGS NX and Dassault Systèmes CATIA V5, and have written HyperTune modules to expose this capability to the workstation user. These applications are obviously very different from one another, and therefore the ability to tune them requires very different approaches. The HyperTune for NX module employs a rich user interface that allows fine control over the types of graphics operations it measures (see the HyperTune screen image), while the HyperTune for CATIA V5 module is controlled through a single checkbox on the Framework's CATIA V5 tuning form.
This table lists the currently supported Framework applications for which installation recognition and graphics driver certification information are provided, and also identifies the applications for which additional tuning features are available:

Applications with Additional Tuning Features
|
|
Autodesk 3ds Max
3ds Max is capable of utilizing several different graphics technologies, including a custom display driver delivered by the graphics hardware vendors. To facilitate selection of a graphics driver, the 3D Studio Max application page contains a button to launch the application's Graphics Driver Setup dialog. |
| The 3ds Max Application Form |
|
Autodesk AutoCAD
Starting with AutoCAD 2007, an AutoCAD Hardware Certification Database file contains the latest data that AutoCAD uses for optimizing the performance of graphics hardware. The Framework offers the ability to download and install the latest hardware certification data from the Autodesk web site to keep workstations current. The button to initiate the download and installation of the updated AutoCAD Hardware Certification Database is shown here.
|
| The AutoCAD Application Form |
|
Autodesk Inventor
Autodesk Inventor 6.0 through 10.0 maintains data about supported graphics cards and drivers in the Windows registry. The Framework offers the ability to download and install the latest support data from the Autodesk web site to keep workstations current. The button to initiate the download and installation of the updated registry contents is shown here.
|
| The Inventor 10 Application Form |
|
Starting with Inventor 11.0, data about supported graphics cards and drivers are maintained in the Inventor Graphics Database. The Framework offers the ability to download and install the latest Graphics Database from the Autodesk web site to keep workstations current. The button to initiate the download and installation of the updated database is shown here.

Dassault Systèmes CATIA V5
In addition to CATIA V5's support for large memory access (beginning with R10), the Framework allows the enabling of performance enhancements for CATIA V5 that have been developed together with the Dassault Systèmes Engineering Team specifically for HP. For more information on this technology, such as which platforms it supports, see the HyperTune for CATIA V5 Read-Me document.

|
UGS Unigraphics
The Framework can launch the HyperTune for UGS NX utility. This tool has the ability to measure the graphics performance of NX, and configure the graphics card and application settings for optimal performance. The screen image below shows the user interface of this utility. For more detailed information on HyperTune, read its Users Guide.
