About Thunder Compute
Thunder Compute is a cloud platform that virtualizes GPUs over TCP, allowing developers to scale from CPU-only machines to GPU clusters with a single command. By tricking computers into thinking they're directly attached to GPUs located elsewhere, Thunder Compute enables CPU-only machines to behave as if they have dedicated GPUs, while the physical GPUs are actually shared among several machines. This approach improves GPU utilization and reduces costs by allowing multiple workloads to run on a single GPU with dynamic memory sharing. Developers can start by building and debugging on a CPU-only machine and then scale to a massive GPU cluster with just one command, eliminating the need for extensive configuration and reducing the costs associated with paying for idle compute resources during development. Thunder Compute offers on-demand access to GPUs like NVIDIA T4, A100 40GB, and A100 80GB, with competitive rates and high-speed networking.
