GPU Dedicated Server

A high Ghz GPU dedicated server with plenty of gbps bandwidth, in contrast to a cheap dedicated server, a VPS, or a server for gaming, is a type of server that includes one or more Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), such as NVIDIA RTX cores, in addition to its central processing unit (CPU). It can also include specialised cards such as GPUs from the NVIDIA Tesla platform.

While Intel CPUs for Windows and Linux excel at handling various non time sensitive general-purpose tasks, GPUs are specifically designed for deep parallel processing, making them incredibly efficient at handling complex computations involving large datasets. It can be used for both Windows and Linux.

When you rent high-performance servers for GPU tasks, your team can maximize their capabilities.

NVIDIA RTX and GTX GPU-dedicated server hosting (especially when leveraging CUDA) is particularly well-suited for computing workloads that involve heavy parallel processing that takes advantage of cutting-edge microarchitecture, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI, as well as machine learning (ML). Training complex AI models, running deep learning algorithms, and performing inferencing tasks can all benefit significantly from the parallel processing capabilities of GPUs in a specialist hosting environment.

Additionally, high-performance computing (HPC) tasks, such as scientific simulations, financial modelling, and other dual computationally intensive research applications, can be accelerated significantly with GPU servers.

Graphics rendering and visualisation computing tasks, including 3D modelling, animation, visual effects, and game development, also benefit from GPU hosting using GTX, RTX and Tesla - and the supporting microarchitecture. Their ability to handle complex calculations and render large-scale scenes in real-time makes GPU servers essential for these applications whether they are on Windows or Linux.

Data analytics and big data processing tasks, such as analysing large datasets, performing complex queries, and extracting valuable insights, can also be accelerated with GPU servers and plenty of RAM and NVMe SSD storage. GPUs' parallel processing capabilities enable faster data processing and analysis, leading to quicker insights and better decision-making.

The primary difference between GPU-dedicated servers and regular servers is their processing capabilities. Regular servers rely solely on CPUs designed for general-purpose tasks and handle instructions sequentially. GPU-dedicated servers, on the other hand, incorporate GPUs alongside CPUs.

GPUs excel at rendering but also at parallel processing (especially using CUDA) for Linux (and Windows too), meaning they can handle multiple tasks simultaneously. This makes them significantly faster and more efficient for workloads involving large datasets and complex computations. GPUs in dual or bigger configs act as accelerators, dramatically boosting the server's performance for specific tasks.

Scaling GPU rendering and processing resources on a dedicated server depends on your specific needs and configuration. With OVHcloud, you have several options:

• Vertical scaling: Upgrade your existing server to a more powerful model with more GPUs or higher-performance GPUs. This is suitable for increasing overall processing capacity and boosting platforms like Tesla.
• Horizontal scaling: Add more GPU-dedicated servers with lots of cores to your infrastructure and distribute the workload across multiple machines. This is ideal for handling increasing demand and ensuring high availability.
• Cloud integration: Combine dedicated servers with Windows and Linux cloud instances for additional flexibility and microarchitecture access. Utilise cloud rendering GPUs for temporary workloads or burst capacity, allowing you to scale resources dynamically as needed.

Several factors influence the cost when you order a GPU server. One of the most significant is the type (ghz or RTX or GTX) and quantity of GPUs (cores) you order - indeed, the number of NVIDIA RTX or GTX cores. Higher-end GPUs with more processing power naturally come at a higher cost than more substantial quantities of GPUs. The overall server configuration also plays a role, with factors like CPU, RAM, storage, and other components contributing to the final price. Overall, it is more expensive than a VPS order, but you get more performance for your money.

Another key aspect is rental order duration. More extended rental periods often come with discounted rates, making them more economical for extended processing and rendering projects. The data centre's location can also affect pricing, as different regions may have varying cost structures due to factors like energy costs and local market competition.

Finally, the required support and services can influence the overall order cost. Additional support services or managed hosting options, while providing convenience and expertise, will typically increase the rental expenses.
