Amazon EC2 G3 with NVIDIA technology
Providing CPU and memory for cloud-based 3D rendering and VR applications

NVIDIA announced that the NVIDIA GRID virtualization platform and NVIDIA Tesla M60 GPU accelerators are included in Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s newly released EC2 G3.

Amazon EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) G3, with its new GPU-optimized instances, enables architects, artists, product designers, and other professionals to handle complex tasks required by high-performance desktop workstations.

It is designed to easily provide a powerful combination of CPU and RAM for workloads such as 3D rendering, 3D visualization, graphics-intensive remote workstations, video encoding, and virtual reality applications.

Customers performing complex modeling and 3D visualization analysis, such as medical image processing, computer-aided design, and seismic visualization, require significant CPU processing power and memory. To provide optimal performance for such graphics-intensive applications, the G3, a massive instance, features the NVIDIA Tesla M60 GPU, offering twice the CPU power and eight times more powerful host memory compared to the previous generation graphics instance (G2).



The g3.16xlarge model provides 64 CPUs using the latest custom Intel Xeon E5-2646v4 (Broadwell) processors, 488GB of RAM, and high-performance networking using Amazon EC2 ENA (Elastic Network Adapter), along with four NVIDIA Tesla M60 GPUs. G3 instances also offer two services simultaneously for the first time in Amazon EC2 history to improve video frame processing speeds and image quality for graphics workloads. These are support for NVIDIA Grid Virtual Workstations, which includes support for four monitors at up to 4K (4096x2160) resolution, and support for hardware encoding that supports up to 10 H.265 (HEVC) 1080p30 streams per GPU.

Landmark, a Halliburton affiliate, is a leading technology solutions company providing data, analytics, science, software, and services for the Exploration and Production (EOF) industry. Chandra Yeleshwarapu, Global General Manager of Services and Cloud at Landmark, stated, “Landmark’s DecisionSpace 365 is the industry’s first comprehensive E&P SaaS solution that helps oil and gas companies transition to a cloud environment, enabling them to experience significant improvements in efficiency across the entire E&P business lifecycle.” He also emphasized, “The E&P cloud is becoming increasingly complex with large-scale datasets, 3D, dynamic algorithms, security, and global service coverage. With the massive memory and powerful GPUs of Amazon EC2 G3 instances, Landmark is delivering value to customers in ways that were previously impossible.”

Customers can adopt G3 using the AWS Management Console, the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), AWS SDKs, and third-party libraries. G3 instances are available in three models: g3.4xlarge, g3.8xlarge, and g3.16xlarge. G3 instances will be available first in the U.S. and EU regions, with plans to expand to other regions within the coming months.
