Here is why and how Amazon Web Services has Deployed NVIDIA GRID GPUs: stakes and opportunities.
Here, we talk about GPU acceleration to users running graphics-intensive
applications and games in the cloud.
In this dynamic, NVIDIA GRID
technology is now available from Amazon Web Services (AWS) through its newly
announced Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G2 instance, delivering GPU
acceleration to users running graphics-
intensive applications and games in the
cloud.Connectikpeople has observed that this aims to expand the uses of cloud computing from storage, data processing and 2D applications to 3D, fully GPU-accelerated, interactive consumer and professional applications.
According to NVIDIA, With NVIDIA GRID GPUs, software-as-a-service (SaaS)
companies can now build cloud-based offerings with extreme graphics performance
for design, visualization, media creation, games and more.
Connectikpeople may also recall that, AWS is offering an NVIDIA GRID GPU
instance, known as the G2 instance, via its Amazon EC2 cloud, starting now and to make
it easy for software companies to deploy applications onto G2 instances, OTOY
has enabled a Windows and Linux-based Amazon Machine Image (AMI) with OTOY's
ORBX middleware. SaaS companies can install their applications into OTOY's AMI
and begin streaming to web browsers within minutes.
