Amazon Web Services GPU G2 -
today got setup aws gpu g2 instance (g2.2xlarge). wanted test out 3d hardware capability offered mentioned here
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/
features:
high frequency intel xeon e5-2670 (sandy bridge) processors high-performance nvidia gpu 1,536 cuda cores , 4gb of video memory on-board hardware video encoder designed support 8 real-time hd video streams (720p@30fps) or 4 real-time fhd video streams (1080p @ 30 fps). support low-latency frame capture , encoding either full operating system or select render targets, enabling high-quality interactive streaming experiences.
but when tried running 3dmark 2011 try things out. got exception "no dxgi adapters found" noticed, dxdiag says no hardware acceleration available.
so im bit puzzled why dont see nvidia gpu 1500+ cuda cores.
also, great if azure offered 3d compute capabilities.
to answer own question, there setup required before gpu can used. 1 needs install nvidia grid k520 driver latest cuda toolkit. install vnc server on instance , open relevant ports in aws instance. install vnc client on local pc , should give access gpu.
thanks
