Nvidia GRID

Nvidia GRID is a family of graphic processing units (GPU) made by Nvidia, introduced in 2008, that is targeted specifically towards cloud gaming.[1] The Nvidia GRID includes both graphics processing and video encoding into a single device which is able to decrease the input to display latency of cloud based video game streaming.[2] Nvidia offer their own game streaming service that makes use of the Nvidia Grid that supports full 1080p at 60 frames per second over the Internet.[3]

While GPUs, and Nvidia in particular, are generally considered mainly for video games, there has been a recent growth of business applications that are GPU-accelerated. The Nvidia GRID K1 and K2 are being integrated with Supermicro server clusters for use with 3D-intensive applications such as graphics and computer aided drafting (CAD).[4] In 2015, Microsoft began including Nvidia GRID as part of its Azure Enterprise cloud platform for businesses, such as engineers and designers, to make use of.[5]
