Hosted Applications for Media and Entertainment: How the Cloud is Changing the Application Story for TV and Film

November 30, 2018

When the team at Leostream first spoke to a potential client in the TV and Film industry, we were surprised to learn the story of how TV and films, historically, have been edited and produced. Films, too large to share over email, were physically shipped back and forth between editors and producers. This practice seemed fairly outdated for such a high-tech industry. We presented the idea of hosting mission-critical applications on vGPUenabled cloud instances, managed by a vendor-neutral connection broker such as Leostream. Moreover, we thought, why not leverage a multi-cloud strategy to maximize cost-efficiency by spreading the required compute across multiple cloud offerings or existing onprem infrastructure. Hosting applications, and more importantly, managing these applications across multitudes of users, is changing the application story for TV and film.

NVIDIA ADA GPU ARCHITECTURE: Designed to deliver outstanding gaming and creating, professional graphics, AI, and compute performance

whitePaper | October 1, 2022

Launched in 2018, NVIDIA’s® Turing™ GPU Architecture ushered in the future of 3D graphics and GPU-accelerated computing. Turing provided major advances in efficiency and performance for PC gaming, professional graphics applications, and deep learning inferencing. Using new hardware-based accelerators, Turing fused rasterization, real-time ray tracing, AI, and simulation to enable incredible realism in PC games, and cinematic-quality interactive experiences. Two years later in 2020, the NVIDIA® Ampere architecture incorporated more powerful RT Cores and Tensor Cores, along with a novel SM structure that offered 2x FP32 performance, clock-for-clock, compared to Turing GPUs. These innovations allowed the Ampere architecture to run up to 1.7x faster than Turing in traditional raster graphics, and up to 2x faster in ray tracing.
