Nvidia GRID
Nvidia GRID was a family of graphics processing units (GPUs) made by Nvidia, introduced in 2008, that were targeted specifically towards GPU virtualization and 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] It was previously used by Nvidia's GeForce Now, a paid cloud gaming service.
While many of Nvidia’s cards are known for gaming, there has been a recent growth of business applications that are GPU-accelerated.[timeframe?] 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 design (CAD).[3] In 2015, Microsoft began including Nvidia GRID as part of its Azure Enterprise cloud platform targeted towards professionals such as engineers, designers and researchers.[4]
