Nvidia Grid – Is It The Future Of High Performance Computing?

 

When the eTeknix team visited CES 2014, there was one word that we

heard more than any other, one big focus that it seems many big tech

companies – especially gaming tech companies – are trying to

promote, “cloudâ€Â. Now I'm sure many of you will agree that saying

something is in the cloud is just a bit of clever marketing.By any

definition, the whole internet is in the cloud and we've been using

its features for a very long time. The concept of remotely accessing

powerful computers via a virtual data centre from say… your home, is

nothing strange either, and it's the very basis of the technology that

is used to run everything from Facebook to YouTube. On the

professional side, we have industries such as science, oil & gas and

construction, to name a few, that require high performance computing

to drastically reduce the time required to perform large complex

calculations or to generate 3D computational models.

 

Gaming could offer one of the biggest changes in the industry of

cloud computing, at least as far as your average consumer is

concerned, but could cloud computing give us all access to superior

gaming by offloading the processing to the cloud? As well as

offloading rendering and other graphics intensive applications for

businesses? Nvidia certainly think so.
