NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC) provides researchers and data scientists with simple access to a comprehensive catalog of GPU-optimized software for deep learning and high performance computing (HPC) that take full advantage of NVIDIA GPUs. The NGC container registry features NVIDIA tuned, tested, certified, and maintained containers for the top deep learning software. It also offers third-party managed HPC application containers, NVIDIA HPC visualization containers, and partner applications.
QNGC empowers AI researchers with performance-engineered AI containers featuring deep learning software like TensorFlow, PyTorch, MXNet TensorRT, and more. These pre-integrated, GPU-accelerated containers include NVIDIA® CUDA® runtime, NVIDIA libraries, and an operating system. They are tuned, tested, and certified by NVIDIA to run on NVIDIA DGX™ systems, select NVIDIA TITANand NVIDIA Quadro GPUs, and on NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud with Alibaba, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Oracle. This lets users tackle challenges that were once thought to be impossible while eliminating difficult, time-consuming DIY software integration.
Installing and upgrading HPC applications in an HPC environment is challenging, it decreases accessibility, limits users to older features, and delivers sub-optimal performance.
The HPC application containers on NGC make deployment much faster and easier, providing access to the latest features and optimizing performance. Users simply pull the container from NGC and run it on NVIDIA Pascal and Volta-powered systems, including local workstations, NVIDIA DGX Systems, and HPC clusters.
Visualization is an integral part of scientific computing and data analysis workflows. Interactively viewing the entire dataset in high fidelity is one of the keys to accelerating the discovery process.
NGC provides HPC visualization containers for easy access to the tools that deliver real-time interactivity and quality visuals for better and faster discoveries, driving user productivity.
The containers include ParaView, NVIDIA IndeX™ volume renderer, NVIDIA OptiX™ ray tracing tools, NVIDIA Engine Bridge artistic renderer, and NVEnc for remote visualization.
