Microsoft Sessions at NVIDIA GTC Digital

[KevinRaines]

Despite being converted into a digital-only event, this year’s GTC is certain not to disappoint. The big buzz around cloud-based GPUs is the introduction of deep learning and AI capabilities complimentary to existing visualization, rendering, and gaming workflows. Having on-demand versatility by which GPUs can be consumed and transacted empowers greater productivity and efficiency with enhanced VDI/DaaS, real-time visualizations, and more immersive gaming & entertainment experiences.

This year we are sharing examples of some of the most versatile GPU-powered resources anywhere in the public cloud, with a clear understanding of maximum cost-for-performance metrics. We’re focusing on three main application use cases for GPUs:

• Visualization, including 3D design rendering, remote rendering, and desktop virtualization
• AI for machine learning, model training and inferencing
• Edge Computing for hybrid scenarios, decoupled environments, and IoT device ecosystems
