GPU Accelerated Simulations
A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a specialized processor initially developed to enhance the rendering of images and video. Today, GPUs are central to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) globally, particularly within the Tygron Engine. Their ability to perform parallel processing enables them to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, making them exceptionally well-suited for complex computations and data-intensive applications.
GPU Technology
Parallel Processing: Unlike Central Processing Units (CPUs), which typically have a few cores optimized for sequential processing, GPUs contain thousands of smaller, more efficient cores designed for parallel execution.
High Throughput: GPUs can process large volumes of data quickly, which is essential for applications that require significant computational power.
Energy Efficiency: GPUs can deliver higher performance per watt compared to CPUs, making them a more energy-efficient option for large-scale computations.
Tygron & GPUs
Since the early days of Tygron in 2005, we have been developing software for GPUs. Initially, this was for our 3D rendering in the Tygron Client, followed by large-scale simulations (HPC), and more recently, for AI models as well.
Our extensive experience in developing algorithms for massive parallel computation has enabled us to build the Tygron Platform entirely around GPU technology.
In-Tygron simulations have undergone rigorous testing and optimization to achieve maximum performance, allowing you to calculate entire regions with remarkable detail, utilizing up to 10,000,000,000 grid cells.
GPU Cloud Computing
- The Tygron Engine contains multiple GPU clusters then can handle multi jobs at once based on priority. All GPU clusters are connected with special high-bandwidth connections commonly found in most Supercomputers today.
- As a user, you have shared access to all of these clusters, allowing you to run multiple scenario simulations in parallel across different clusters.
- Thanks to the cloud computing capabilities of the Tygron Engine, you can start your large simulation model, close your laptop, and head home. Once the simulation is complete, you’ll receive an SMS notification on your phone informing you that the simulation has finished and is stored.
