A rendering of Nvidia’s new headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., made using Iray, the company’s software tool that simulates the behavior of light and materials.

“We used our computational power and our technology to model the inside of the building,” said Debora Shoquist, Nvidia’s executive vice president for operations. “Iray allows you to model how the light comes in and how it reflects. Reflection, refraction, absorption — it’s just math.”
