Microsoft Offers GPU-Accelerated Virtual Machines in Azure

[HardOCP News]

Microsoft announced preview availability of its N-Series Virtual Machines in Azure today. Microsoft will offer state-of-the-art GPU visualization infrastructure and GPU compute infrastructure through the N-Series, enabled by our NVIDIA Tesla M60 platform with GRID and Tesla K80 GPU accelerators. For the first time, businesses will have the ability to deploy NVIDIA Quadro-grade professional graphics applications and accelerated computing on-premises, in the cloud through Azure, or via a hybrid of the two using both Windows and Linux virtual machines.

That is pretty cool. We have GPUs on our local VM Host hardware so our engineers can put CAD and stuff on it, but I don' think I would have thought of doing that out on the cloud.
