| Description |
Cloud instances newly offer GPU instances.
Using GPGPU for problems, which can be solved via massive parallel algorithms, may lead to performance gains on appropriate hardware.
The high number of instances rentable from a cloud provide an interesting basis for powerful distributed systems.
Combining both technologies by distributing chunks of a problem to many instances, and using the GPU power of each instance to compute,
could provide an immense computation power if the problem scales well. |
