Aethir’s Cloud Gaming GPU Offering Overview

Community

GPUs are the backbone of the rapidly growing gaming industry, whose demand for reliable and scalable computing resources is constantly rising. The GPU industry has limited production capacity, and a considerable portion of the global GPU supply is produced for the AI industry, the most compute-intensive sector on the market. Aethir’s decentralized GPU cloud is focused on both AI and gaming enterprises, providing these two GPU-demanding industries with premium cloud computing services worldwide. In the gaming sector, Aethir offers an unparalleled decentralized GPU computing service through our Aethir Atmosphere gaming product line, relying on a vast network of globally distributed GPU containers. 

Aethir’s DePIN stack includes 400,000+ GPU containers available for our enterprise clients. Through Aethir Atmosphere, we can channel processing power to our clients from the physically closest available network containers, thus minimizing latency and cutting costs. 

Let’s examine Aethir’s cloud gaming GPU offering and learn how Aethir Atmosphere provides top-quality GPU computing for gaming enterprises.

How Aethir’s GPU Containers Power High-Performance Cloud Gaming

The GPU container is at the center of Aethir’s cloud computing infrastructure. Each GPU container processes various types of GPU-intensive workloads for our clients. The container is where the actual use of the cloud occurs, providing Aethir’s clients with streamlined access to GPU computing services. A container is like a seat in an Internet cafe to play the games installed on it. Each time a player is running a cloud-based game on Aethir’s tech stack, they are leveraging the power of one of our GPU containers. After the session ends, the container is reset for the next player. 

The container’s primary goal is to ensure an immediate and responsive cloud experience, offering zero lag, which is essential for premium-quality cloud gaming. This is achieved by shifting the workload from the user’s local device to Aethir’s GPU containers. Because all users are serviced with the physically closest GPU containers, Aethir can eliminate latency issues altogether for our client’s end-users.

Idle containers are always ready and prepared for immediate activation upon consumer request. Aethir’s Indexers are responsible for pairing gaming workloads with the closest and most adequate GPU containers for a specific workload, ensuring the client receives the best possible GPU computing service from our containers. Containers must meet specific processing and graphical requirements to handle the applications or services without performance issues. Our network of 91,000+ Checker Nodes, owned by 22,000+ community members, ensures the selected containers adhere to Aethir’s optimal quality of service rules at all times.
