Hyperscalers have an advantage over emerging GPU-as-a-service companies due to their established presence. We look at hyperscaler GPU offerings with the aim of serving as a resource for businesses looking to navigate the complexities of deploying AI/machine-learning applications in the cloud.
As demand for AI has ramped up, a slew of impacts to global businesses have emerged, with AI strategies influencing everything from spending intent to vendor vetting.
The growing adoption of AI, machine learning and HPC has dramatically increased the demand for advanced GPU computing resources in the last two years. This has created a need for cloud infrastructure that the hyperscalers cannot fully serve currently. GPU-as-a-service providers that specialize in cloud-based GPU resources have stepped into the breach.
The uses of high-end graphics have evolved in the world of film and television production with visual effects. In SIGGRAPH's 50th year, the graphics-focused conference focused on advances in AI-powered datacenters, the industrial metaverse and the future of quantum computing. This was part of a mix that included games, media production, education and experimental research papers.
NVIDIA, Pixar, Adobe, Apple and Autodesk are the founding members of the Alliance for Open Universal Scene Description standards body driving toward richer integration across media and engineering for digital design and metaverse applications.
