The smartest companies are evolving toward more flexible, on-demand cloud infrastructure using a technique called burst compute, which provides enterprises with accessible, efficient, and cost-effective computing. What is Burst Compute? Burst compute is a use case that requires GPUs to be spun up to run workloads as needed, and spun down when they finish. Examples include batch simulations that can be run in parallel across thousands of GPUs, online (or batch) inference that scales GPUs up and down in response to end-user demand, and VFX rendering to deliver projects on a short timeline.
