Ampere, NVIDIA Extend AICAN Gaming Platform Ecosystem
March 30 2023 - 11:00AM
Ampere Computing and NVIDIA today announced the extension of the
AICAN (pronounced “eye-CAN”) game-streaming platform to support
more game environments and global partners using dense Arm + GPU
platforms.
The AICAN hardware streaming platform uses dual-socket Ampere®
Altra® Max CPUs totaling an industry-leading 256 cores and up to
four NVIDIA® A16 GPUs to enable the running, rendering and
streaming of games to any remote streaming device.
The platform, which launched last year in China to service
Arm-compatible mobile games, has since expanded to support
high-resolution games up to 4K and a growing list of titles,
enabling a richer experience for gamers, game developers and cloud
gaming service providers worldwide.
AICAN is now capable of supporting up to 160 concurrent sessions
at 720p 30 frames per second, or up to 64 concurrent sessions at
1080p 60 fps. This ensures that the platform can handle the growing
demand for high-resolution game streaming and accommodate more
users simultaneously.
The AICAN platform is optimized for use with NVIDIA GPUs that
provide end-to-end rendering, in-line encoding and low-latency
streaming. To support smooth, high-resolution streaming, excellent
quality of service and dense concurrent users, AICAN demands faster
networking options available through NVIDIA ConnectX® SmartNICs and
BlueField® DPUs. Dedicated engineering and quality-assurance teams
make it easy for partners to quickly integrate the platform and
keep up with the latest titles.
Software providers including Canonical have embraced the AICAN
platform to offer out-of-the-box complete solutions through
scalable products like Canonical Anbox Cloud, which enables service
providers and platform suppliers to use the full breadth of
available features using Android container hosting to provide dense
cloud-native game streaming.
AICAN has also expanded to include new systems from
manufacturers, such as Supermicro’s recently introduced Mt.
Hamilton ARS-210M-NR Modular system, GIGABYTE G242-P35, Inspur
Aoqin and Huaqin P6410. These platforms have been prequalified
through the AICAN collaboration, offering service providers and end
customers of game-streaming services the confidence to build,
develop and play at scale.
AICAN represents a significant step forward for the gaming
industry, providing a powerful, reliable and scalable platform for
game developers, publishers and distributors. The platform’s
expanded ecosystem, including full solution suppliers like
Canonical and others, has made AICAN available worldwide through
more server manufacturers than ever.
