Graphics processing units (GPUs) deployed in general purpose GPU (GPGPU) units are combined into a GPGPU cluster. Access to the GPGPU cluster is then offered as a service to users who can use their own computers to communicate with the GPGPU cluster. The users develop applications to be run on the cluster and a profiling module tracks the applications' resource utilization and can report it to the user and to a subscription server. The user can examine the report to thereby optimize the application or the cluster's configuration. The subscription server can interpret the report to thereby invoice the user or otherwise govern the users' access to the cluster. |
