S3552 - Using Tesla GPUs, Reality Server and Penguin Computing's Cloud for Visualizing Product Customizations (Presented by Penguin Computing)

Arend Dittmer ( Director, Product Marketing, Penguin Computing )

Penguin Computing's public HPC cloud Penguin Computing on Demand (POD) provides compute power for HPC applications through NVidia Tesla GPUs. To make it easy to leverage NVidia Tesla GPU resources for rendering tasks Penguin is hosting migenius' Reality Server. The RealityServer platform is a 3D web services software that leverages NVidia Tesla GPUs to deliver interactive, photorealistic applications over the web, enabling product designers, architects and consumers to easily visualize 3D scenes with remarkable realism. The session will discuss the workflow for using Reality Server on POD. Using Fluid Inc's Configure offering as an example the session will illustrate how retailers can leverage POD, NVidia Teslas and the reality server platform for scalable, fast-to-market, and easy to manage product customizations.

• Custom, branded portal based on POD Automation suite

• Desktop gene sequencing application

• Project moved from Amazon to POD by Ion Torrent

• Pure virtual environment – competes directly with Amazon functionality

• Automated data upload from customer’s ion torrent server (30 minutes to 4 hours)

• When NVIDIA had a request by Fluid to use their solution, Fluid Configure on RealityServer, for Virtual Merchandising, they turned to Penguin Computing.

• The most economical way for Fluid to leverage the RealityServer solution and build their Fluid Configure, was to use Penguin Computing’s HPC as a Service offering – Penguin on Demand (POD)

• POD provided Fluid a way to take advantage of the power of NVIDIA’s GPU technology without having to acquire at a great expense the computing hardware and expertise required.

infrastructure plus HPC environment, services

and support

Penguin

Computing

$0.10 per physical core hour *

$0.10/GB-month

Virtualized infrastructure plus Web services to

deliver cloud computing AWS $1.30 per virtual server hour (CCI)

Infrastructure as a

Service

Platform as a Service

HPC as a Service

* Typically we see only 50 to 70% actual core utilization on HPC servers so

the actual cost of Amazon, Google or Microsoft is 1.4 to 2 times the cost of

POD

POD is a Turnkey Service with HPC Expertise Included
