Best price performance in Amazon EC2 for Android game streaming

Why Amazon EC2 G5g Instances?

Amazon EC2 G5g instances are powered by AWS Graviton2 processors and feature NVIDIA T4G Tensor Core GPUs to provide the best price performance in Amazon EC2 for graphics workloads such as Android game streaming. They are the first Arm-based instances in a major cloud to feature GPU acceleration. With G5g instances, game streaming customers can run Android games natively on Arm-based instances, encode the rendered graphics, and stream the game over network to a mobile device. This helps reduce development effort by eliminating the need for cross-compilation or emulation, and lowers the cost-per-stream per hour by up to 30%. The G5g instances are also a cost-effective platform for machine learning inference. They are ideal for deploying deep learning applications that need access to NVIDIA GPUs and their associated AI libraries.

Benefits

Best price performance for Android game streaming

With G5g instances, game streaming customers can run Android games natively on Arm-based instances, encode the rendered graphics, and stream the game over the network to a mobile device, without the need for cross-compilation or emulation. This helps to simplify development effort and reduce time to market, while lowering the cost-per-stream per hour by up to 30%.

Cost-effective machine learning inference

G5g instances are powered by AWS Graviton2 processors and feature NVIDIA T4G Tensor Core GPUs to provide cost-effective machine learning inference. This helps reduce the infrastructure cost of running deep learning models in production, and allows developers and businesses to deploy deep learning capabilities more pervasively in their applications.

Enhanced security and maximized resource efficiency

G5g instances are powered by AWS Graviton2 processors and are built on the AWS Nitro System. AWS Graviton2 processors feature always-on 256-bit DRAM encryption and 50% faster per-core encryption performance compared to first-generation AWS Graviton. The AWS Nitro System is a combination of dedicated hardware and lightweight hypervisor which delivers practically all of the compute and memory resources of the host hardware to your instances for better overall performance and security. G5g instances also support encrypted EBS storage volumes by default.

Extensive software support

AWS Graviton processors, based on the 64-bit Arm architecture, are supported by popular Linux operating systems, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE, and Ubuntu. Many popular applications and services for security, monitoring and management, containers, and CI/CD from AWS and independent software vendors (ISVs) also support AWS Graviton2-based instances.

Features

Powered by AWS Graviton2 processors

AWS Graviton2 Processors are based on 64-bit Arm Neoverse cores and custom silicon designed by AWS for optimized performance and cost. AWS Graviton2 Processors deliver 7x more performance, 4x more compute cores, 5x faster memory, and 2x larger caches versus first-generation AWS Graviton Processors.

Featuring NVIDIA T4G Tensor Core GPUs

NVIDIA T4G GPUs deliver enhanced graphics and gaming performance when combined with AWS Graviton2 processors. With support for NVIDIA RTX technology through RT cores, they allow real-time ray-traced rendering, delivering photorealistic objects and environments with physically accurate shadows, reflections, and refractions.

Built on the AWS Nitro System

The AWS Nitro System is a rich collection of building blocks that offloads many of the traditional virtualization functions to dedicated hardware and software to deliver high performance, high availability, and high security while also reducing virtualization overhead.
