N-Series instances are enabled with NVIDIA\u2019s cutting edge GPUs to allow you to run GPU-accelerated workloads and visualize them. These powerful sizes come with the agility you have come to expect from Azure, paying per-minute of usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our N-Series VMs are split into two categories. With the NC-Series (compute-focused GPUs), you will be able to run compute intensive HPC workloads using CUDA or OpenCL. This SKU is powered by Tesla K80 GPUs and offers the fastest computational GPU available in the public cloud. Furthermore, unlike other providers, these new SKUs expose the GPUs through discreet device assignment (DDA) which results in close to bare-metal performance. You can now crunch through data much faster with CUDA across many scenarios including energy exploration applications, crash simulations, ray traced rendering, deep learning and more. The Tesla K80 delivers 4992 CUDA cores with a dual-GPU design, up to 2.91 Teraflops of double-precision and up to 8.93 Teraflops of single-precision performance. Following are the Tesla K80 GPU sizes available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td><p><b>NC6<\/b><\/p><\/td><td><p><b>NC12<\/b><\/p><\/td><td><p><b>NC24<\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Cores<\/p><\/td><td><p>6<span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: revert;font-weight: inherit\">(E5-2690v3)<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p>12(E5-2690v3)<\/p><\/td><td><p>24(E5-2690v3)<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>GPU<\/p><\/td><td><p>1 x K80 GPU (1\/2 Physical Card)<\/p><\/td><td><p>2 x K80 GPU (1 Physical Card)<\/p><\/td><td><p>4 x K80 GPU (2 Physical Cards)<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Memory<\/p><\/td><td><p>56 GB<\/p><\/td><td><p>112 GB<\/p><\/td><td><p>224 GB<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Disk<\/p><\/td><td><p>380 GB SSD<\/p><\/td><td><p>680 GB SSD<\/p><\/td><td><p>1.44 TB SSD<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the NC-Series, focused on compute, the NV-Series is focused more on visualization. Data movement has traditionally been a challenge with HPC scenarios using large datasets produced in the cloud. With the Azure NV-Series, you\u2019ll be able to use Tesla M60 GPUs and NVIDIA GRID in Azure for desktop accelerated applications and virtual desktops. With these powerful visualization GPUs in Azure, you will be able to visualize graphic-intensive workflows to get superior graphics capability and run single precision workloads such as encoding and rendering. The Tesla M60 delivers 4096 CUDA cores in a dual-GPU design with up to 36 streams of 1080p H.264. Following are the Tesla M60 GPU Sizes available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td><p><b>NV6<\/b><\/p><\/td><td><p><b>NV12<\/b><\/p><\/td><td><p><b>NV24<\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Cores<\/p><\/td><td><p>6(E5-2690v3)<\/p><\/td><td><p>12(E5-2690v3)<\/p><\/td><td><p>24(E5-2690v3)<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>GPU<\/p><\/td><td><p>1 x M60 GPU (1\/2 Physical Card)<\/p><\/td><td><p>2 x M60 GPU (1 Physical Card)<\/p><\/td><td><p>4 x M60 GPU (2 Physical Cards)<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Memory<\/p><\/td><td><p>56 GB<\/p><\/td><td><p>112 GB<\/p><\/td><td><p>224 GB<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Disk<\/p><\/td><td><p>380 GB SSD<\/p><\/td><td><p>680 GB SSD<\/p><\/td><td><p>1.44 TB SSD<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/page\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NVIDIA<\/a> to deliver these capabilities in Azure including making sure the virtual machines are optimized to deliver the highest possible performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Azure N-Series now makes GPU computing accessible for modern day Da Vincis, Curies and Einsteins to solve the world\u2019s hardest problems. With over 400 industry applications accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs, Microsoft and NVIDIA are serving the world&#8217;s most demanding users and powering amazing experiences in simulation, artificial intelligence, professional visualization.\u201d <\/p>\n<cite>\u2013 Ian Buck, VP of accelerated computing, NVIDIA<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This preview offers the first public cloud support for this bleeding edge of specialized hardware. One of our release partners <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teradici.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Teradici<\/a> has been validating their PCoIP technology on these instances with fantastic results. In fact, with this preview, you will be able to utilize Teradici\u2019s cutting edge protocol for VDI type scenarios including running desktop accelerated applications such as AutoCAD and Adobe Premier Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We\u2019re thrilled that Microsoft has chosen our trusted, industry-leading Teradici PCoIP technology for its new N-Series instances in the Azure cloud,\u201d said Dan Cordingley, CEO, Teradici. \u201cThe combination of PCoIP and Azure N-Series VMs is a winning formula that\u2019s been optimized to deliver flawless user experiences from the cloud, complete with lossless imaging and 100 percent color accuracy. Now, as the visualization layer for Azure N-Series, PCoIP is helping customers further their digital transformation by enabling unprecedented collaboration on cloud datasets and graphically rich applications across multiple geographic regions, complete with the battle-hardened security of a fully encrypted pixel stream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the technology will enable you to visualize your simulations in real time on Azure including having the ability to modify models and simulate them real time in Azure. This really closes the loop on \u201ctrue HPC in the cloud\u201d and allows customers to run their entire infrastructure and pipeline in Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve been working with various early adopters including BAFTA and Emmy award-winning studio in London <a href=\"https:\/\/jellyfishpictures.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jellyfish Pictures<\/a>. They have over 100 artists in London and additional artists across various geographies. They currently face a couple of challenges like remote artists having access to desktop accelerated applications whenever they\u2019re not in the studio. Additionally, they\u2019re currently rendering on CPU based virtual machines in Azure but with 4K and 8K on the horizon they have the need to render using GPU based rendering engines to not only cut their rendering times multiple fold but also get better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Azure N-Series Jellyfish Picture\u2019s artists are able to utilize the NV instances to run GPU and GRID accelerated applications such as Autodesk Maya. In addition, they\u2019re able to speed up their rendering times by five times, utilizing the NC instances for CUDA based ray-tracing engines such as Octane and Redshift. This allows the studio to be more efficient and productive by focusing on their business value, which is producing and delivering cutting edge visual effects and simulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">By using Azure, we can scale dynamically to our production needs on demand. When using our on-premise we can run in a seamless hybrid model allowing us to fill in the gap when our current infrastructure isn\u2019t sufficient. What makes this a really exciting offering is that this applies to both CPU and GPU based solutions. The result is that production deadlines are met without ever over provisioning.\u201d <\/p>\n<cite>\u2013 Jeremy Smith, CTO, Jellyfish Pictures<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These customer scenarios are exactly what we hope to solve with this new offering. The preview will start in South Central region initially and will expand to additional regions in the next couple of months as we approach General Availability before the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We encourage you to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpu.azure.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">register your interest in the preview<\/a>.
