It is exciting, with virtual GPUs I think we'll see more lowend hosts (like those on LowEndTalk) offer a portion of a GPU for a few bucks a month.

- Filligree 10y agoThat'll be an exciting vector for jailbreaks, too.
- trome 10y agoIt will be an exciting jailbreak vector, I'd be surprised if there aren't quite a few vulnerabilities created by allowing shared GPU access.
- gigatexal 10y agoIt'll also have a disruptive (sic) affect in VDI where you won't need high end nVidia or AMD GPUs to do VDI but can use decent intel ones and just carve them up. Then again you'll likely not get the performance that a dedicated high end GPU like the aforementioned ones provide with an integrated chip.
- tyingq 10y agoI would watch OVH for that. They already do a fair amount of cheap VPS. And, they already offer a server with 2 nice GPUs for $159/month: https://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/gpu/ https://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/gpu/ So, they should be positioned to sell virtual GPU, since they already understand both demographics.
- trome 10y agoThey just launched cloud desktops for about $78 USD a month, but those are Win10 boxes on VMWare with a dedicated AMD FirePro GPU, which is way overkill for most GPU accelerated needs.
