Unreal Engine

Unreal Engine is a real-time 3D development platform created by Epic Games. The platform is widely used to build video games, interactive simulations, virtual production environments, and high-quality visualizations. The engine provides a complete toolset for creating 3D scenes, including rendering, physics simulation, animation systems, audio tools, and visual scripting. Developers can build applications using C++ or the visual Blueprint system, which allows complex behaviors to be designed without writing code.

One of the main strengths of Unreal Engine is advanced real-time rendering technology. The engine includes features such as physically based rendering, real-time global illumination, large-scale environment rendering, and cinematic lighting systems. Modern versions also introduce technologies such as Nanite for high-detail geometry and Lumen for dynamic global illumination, which allows highly realistic scenes to run in real time.

Unreal Engine benefits significantly from powerful GPUs. Many rendering and visualization tasks rely on GPU processing to display complex scenes at high frame rates. High-performance graphics hardware allows developers and artists to work with larger environments, detailed assets, and real-time lighting while maintaining interactive performance.

SwissGPU workstations provide dedicated NVIDIA GPUs running directly on bare-metal hardware, which makes the infrastructure well suited for Unreal Engine workloads. Users can install Unreal Engine on the workstation and develop, test, or render real-time 3D scenes directly on the machine. Because each system provides exclusive access to the GPU and system resources, Unreal Engine can fully use the available hardware to handle demanding projects such as game development, virtual production, and large-scale simulations.
