This is absolutely amazing.

Never knew who NVIDIA's CEO was before watching this video. He seems like a pretty cool cat :D

Jen-Hsun Huang, keep cool! Ur presentations are great! ;)

Awesome!!!

This would be amazing to have.

Imagine the possibilities. Game production and collaborative media projects teams working in real time together.

Pretty impressive

I'd love to have the public speaking skills that this CEO has one day... He's amazing, I like the guy just from watching these videos!

I love you NVIDIA!

True!!

these guys are a dying breed..oculus rift and omni made in the basement rift being sold for 300 bucks. changed the way movies and games will be done forever.

hmm, i get it now. thx for explaining

Dope.

This is so awesome, i hope governments implement this for city broadband integration

Absolutely....

good idea, and station fot graphics, other for storage.

It could only be as fast (obviously) as the network connection allows it to be. So I'm assuming that the GRID VCA was setup somewhere inside the conference hall.

Wow NVidia's old videos had so many dislikes and these have so many likes

The future!

For all the AMD and ATI comments, here is your answer: In 2006 AMD acquired ATI but kept the ATI brand name for their graphics cards until 2010 when they retired the ATI brand name and branded all graphics cards under the AMD name instead of ATI. So ATI was no longer a company in 2006 but their name was still used until 2010 by AMD who then decided to brand all products under AMD which makes it much more uniform.

finally :D

i dont know how you get so many upvotes but you suspect wrong, dead wrong. the AC cost alone to keep your server/network room at a good temperature will cost more than that 2000-3000$ yearly payment you're talking about. Trust me the guy in this video knows what he;s talking about

When you are a small business, you do not need to own this system and set it up yourself. What you do is find a company that host this system. As a small business, you only need a fraction of the horse power these servers are capable off. It is almost parallel to; Insted of hosting your own htlm server for your website, you find a webhotel to service it for you. This way, you dont need to worry about anything and the cost is divided by all the customers. Its much more efficient this way.

They usually do that at events because the convention center's wireless is probably getting hammered by all the people in the audience and a hardline is much more reliable for demonstrations. In other terms yes it can be wireless, but for the sake of the demonstration going smoothly they used wired.

how big is the grid pc. maybe a comparison to an average sized laptop would be nice to see how much space it actually takes up. i have a feeling that the animation shown made it seem smaller than it really is.

Nvidia won't be selling the Grid VCA directly to customers, but through its value-added resellers (VARs), who will also be tasked with providing hardware support. The eight-user Grid VCA's hardware costs $24,900, plus a $2,400-per-year license to use Nvidia's software; the 16-user model costs $39,900 up-front plus $4,800 per year for the software license.

YOU getta copy of that data, and YOU getta copy of that data--Look under your seat, EVERYONE GETTA COPY OF THAT DATA!!!

I am totaly gonna buy it i think its around 10k

quantum entanglement was used to teleport photons, and could be a method of inter-galaxy communication (being instant). but the record for entanglement is a few atoms. mebe enough for comms, but not teleportation. possibly processing.

The reason why Onlive is developing slowly is because they don't have the massive market of enterprises backing it up. I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia takes the lead with this approach.

GRID is already out man!

Xeons must be great processors because I have an older workstartion that has 2 Xeons @ over 3.5ghz each and I replaced the graphics card which was a quadro based card to a Gtx graphics card and wow! It runs super fast and the graphics run at high and ultra settings. So compared to an i7 it does just about the same or better. Their Geforce Now service runs off these machines and their games render amazing also.

this is a really old post but honestly games aren't affected much by CPU performance, and more so GPU performance.. only games that really use the CPU are games with a LOT of NPCs or objects in general

02:30 genius!

Actually, it's closer than you think. They have already started working on things like this.

so where can i get one? i need one for my house hold. i want it now.

This is a CEO. Nvidia is THE BEST.

Many small to medium businesses don't need this type of render farm power and do not even have a clean air-conditioned rack with the power requirements to run a system like this. Because if you use this technology you would need at least 2 of these units to provide fail-over when one unit goes down. That would amount to a rather large investment if you have to buy all the stuff necessary just to run a pair of these units. This is marketed mainly to research and design companies.

They mentioned things like, try before you buy, pretty much using it for Game demos. See something you are interested in, click play. play it from Grid, if you like it buy it and it will download to your machine.

The way you said it made it sound like you were saying that it is the ATI 7970 and were supporting Sam sammy's statement. So that makes it look like you didn't know ATI was 'no more'

I have alot of early doubts about this. This could be good for a bussiness that hires people with their own computer no matter how shitty, as long as it runs a os, My dad used terminal services and we had 7 computers in the house and we could all access our profiles at any computer and it would be the same.the only diffrence is. the servers stored the data but the workstation executed and ran temporary data that it had to retrive from server. but it was normal login speed. everything worked.

Still confused how this works, you buy the grid unit which can have 16 virtual machines, but do you then need to buy 16 software licenses, or can it just use 1 license for all 16 virtual machines??

What i understand is that grid unit is not a license software byt itself , it's only hardware. The softwares you install in it are licensed. As you asked , is one licensed software installed is needed to be licensed again for 16 users in the same time ? I think it doesn't need to . Maybe i'm wrong : l

anyone know the cost of something like this ? is it possible for me to run battlefield 3 or something similar on my slow laptop from my gaming desktop if I had a 10-20 meg a second connection . Also do any of you know what the requirements are on the remote system as well as the connection ? It would be great to game on a laptop from starbucks or tethering from my phone (though I doubt 4glte would be fast enough ).

I want to use this to BOINC!

it is completely possible to route usb and sound to a device such as this virtual machines do it all the time, i am shore however that you need lots of bandwidth to do so if i were setting something like this up i would want everything to be wired Ethernet so i wont have to deal with interference screwing with the latency. another thought it may just be sending over a h,264 stream that any current computer would be capable of handling and patching over controls.

insane. Remote desktop is the future then... I knew it!

Turns out AI operating on the remote data was. But the graphics cards to enable multiple user remote desktops did help with AI

why would you want titans? each grid gpu might be more powerful then the titan, he did say the most advanced kepler gpu (arguably the gk110), and there are 2 of them on each card.. so it might be like having 2 titans on a card. and yeah big MIGHT as specs are not out yet for those grid gpus as far as i know.

This could solve a lot of first world PC and post-PC problems.

Delicious.

imagine that pc with 8 titans on sli for gaming damn i would kill for that pc

it's graphique card (internet graphique card) ?

But Mr. Huang, can a average consumer buy a server blade directly??

It's not that surprising once you factor in all the user-spawned processes and threads that will require tremendous amounts of computing power to deliver real-time performance in applications such as SolidWorks and Premiere.

I still waiting for the 700s :P

you did see the part where its powered by 2 xeon octocores, intel prefers you buy 2 $2000 processors than a bunch of $200 processors, this will be an epic addition to cloud computing, imagine ur phone powered by 8 high end gpus, smart houses in the future will run on these

I want 1 but the electric bill would kill me would need solar and battery generator how much is this to begin with?

last i heard 1 irey VCA 4U Rack with 16GPUs costs 50.000$

i like titans and those gpus are most likely workstation gpus not as good for gaming but who knows they might be beast

so all we actually needed to see was from 15:00 and forth lol

but i now do that with virtual computer. and it runs from the server. the only diffrence there. is yours has the massive graphics rack for high graphics use app's. works the same as your setup. just w/o badass graphics

So.. You've reinvented TeamViewer?

🌹❣️🌹

This was how it started. Dumb terminals over acousistic coupler modem (because ma bell said that you couldn't connect any non bell hardware to the phone system back then.)

13:37 i want that computer...

I agree with you. But its not about being a major breakthrough, Its more about fucking time they have focused on remote graphics!

its like a more enhanced verseion of team view!

omg!

So, nVidia saw Onlive using virtual machines to stream 3d games over the internet and they are using that idea for enterprise and businesses.

whats skynet?

But will it blend?

YYEESS he said BF3! :)

For professional use only.

Can't wait till this is like $500 for homes to own it, but then again this will be for our grandkids hahaha

Cloud gaming and not just that ;)

nice jacket

Yes, but doe sit have rounded corners?

Latency and internet speed isn't what Nvidia is working on, other companies are working on that. Imagine it the other way around, if we get low latency but we don't have these servers we still can't do it. Different companies are working on different parts.

Hence what happened with infiniband and nvidia

SkyNET is almost here

good for Crysis 3 lan matches :P

Agreed it's ridiculously expensive. I doubt small business could afford this, let alone a school district.

i want one grid for my octane renderer

Jen-Hsun Huang plays Battlefield?

They created " The Grid"

Is he talking about Remote Graphics?

I was speaking on behalf of Sam sammy, who didn't sound like HE knew. Guess that's a little hard to think of, ya?

I'm still not sold on this idea.. I tried Onlive and the latency was BAD. I really don't want remote graphics.. I want it rendered under my desk.. I think most hardcore gamers want the same. Maybe in the future when we have fiber optic broadband with a >20 ms ping or something.

What exactly training do you need to put an graphics card into a computer case? 10 years old kid can do that properly.

I know, but that doesn't mean anything. When they prove it's even possible, then they might start working on really achieving it. We've been able to trigger a hydrogen fusion for like sixty years now, and still it hasn't seen a practical use. Now imagine how primitive that really is compared to quantum entanglement.

Can it run minesweeper?

idk i thought the list of corporations he listed off in the beginning was a dead give away

I love nvidia,more than ATI,but now i have a 7870 and i can say it's good also because it costs only 180 bucks,but if i would like to buy the 660 TI it would me cost 250$ for quite the same prestations,but nvidia is waaaaaaay better than ATI,and my next GPU will be a nvidia one also if my ATI isn't that bad

before actually trying to remote graphics they should probably fix latency's all over the world starting with internet why not try to solve quantum molecular physics so you can actually make everything around earth connected around 0ms-1ms~5ms ping/latency that would be ideal for everything from gaming to surfing to working to etc.. then again probably will happen eventually in the future

Where in the matrix did he get that jacket, and shouldn't it have come with an age limit?

...at 30 FPS??

Now convince Rockstar Games to release GTA V on steam and include it in the VCA.

How fucking long is this keynote!?

It sounded awesome, until I saw how much it costs: $20,000-$30,000 USD plus $2,000 - $3,000 yearly payments for the software. This pretty much makes this product not an option for small business, plus if you won't be able to pay $2,000 at the end of the year, you might just throw this hardware into a trash can, or sell it at less than 80% of its original price. I suspect, that you can build system like that for a lot cheaper anyway, or hire IT guy to do that.

Well some random IT guy doesn't need to do a research or make his own GPU. He/she can buy all the components, put them together, install the software and thats it. As for accessing desktop remotely, this has been available for a decades.

tomorrow come today

It should be possible to get really close to 0 latency with quantum entanglement.

And do pray tell, how exactly does the random IT guy have insight and training in INVIDAs technology?
