Use Cases for 8840U EdgeCluster

Always wanted to have some raw computing power locally without going with a full fledged server in the cloud?

Render farm

With the combined CPU/GPU and large amout of RAM, the EdgeCluster is a cost effective solution for accelerating your 3D rendering. You can pay the computing cost in a render farm or invest in your own rendering cluster and never ever ask yourself again if you're willing to pay some extra buck for rendering a scene.

Kubernets

The 8840U EdgeCluster gives you 32 cores/64 threads and 384GB maximum RAM for running and scaling your workload. All this at a lower cost compared to a blade server or high density core CPU server.

Development & Testing

Before sending your workload in the cloud and pay the premium hosting price, experiment freely locally.

AI Inference

Combining a CPU, a GPU and a NPU, the 8840U APU is the perfect all in one solution for doing AI inference be it Llama or GPT4All. With up to 96GB of RAM per node, even the most demanding model can be ran locally.

Using NGFF expansion slots, Hailo-8 inference accelerator can also be installed for even more AI processing power.

Video encoding

With the embedded RNDA3 780M iGPU supporting AV1, H265 & H264 video encoding/decoding, the EdgeCluster is able to encode multiple video streams at once.

Remote gaming rig

The 8840U is a pretty capable APU for playing at FullHD resolution. With its video encoding capabilities, Stream games over the network.

Video Wall Driver

With up to 8 HDMI video outputs, the EdgeCluster is able to drive up to 8 4K displays. This is the perfect solution for streaming video to a video wall.

Distributed Databases

You need to ramp your database performances? You can setup the EdgeCluster nodes to reply to database requests with HAProxy for example. Each node can have a local replica of the database stored in RAM for greater performances.

VM Hosting

By using a VM hypervisor like Proxmox, densify your software stack by leveraging the multiple nodes.
