Invite users to access Siemens NX through a browser. Create an AppStream 2.0 fleet and stack.
Create an AppStream 2.0 image with Siemens NX installed. Create a file share to load and save design files. You can also use these steps to set up and test your own graphics applications on AppStream 2.0. After set up is complete, users can able to access NX from within their browser and also access their design files from a file share. In the section, I walk through setting up Siemens NX with Graphics Design instances on AppStream 2.0. The following table compares all three graphics instance types on AppStream 2.0, along with example applications you could use with each.Īdobe Premiere Pro, AutoDesk Revit, Siemens NXĪutoDesk Maya, Landmark DecisionSpace, Schlumberger PetrelĮxample graphics instance set up with Siemens NX The instance type uses virtualized GPUs to achieve lower costs, and is available in four instance sizes to scale and match the requirements of your applications. The Graphics Design instance is based on AMD’s FirePro S7150x2 Server GPUs and equipped with AMD Multiuser GPU technology. This instance type is a great fit for engineers, 3D modelers, and designers who use graphics applications that rely on the hardware acceleration of DirectX, OpenGL, or OpenCL APIs, such as Siemens NX, Autodesk AutoCAD, or Adobe Photoshop. Last week, we added a new lower-cost instance type: Graphics Design. These instance types are based on dedicated NVIDIA GPUs and can run the most demanding graphics applications, including those that rely on CUDA graphics API libraries. Many customers in industries such as engineering, media, entertainment, and oil and gas are using these instances to deliver high-performance graphics applications to their users. In July, 2017, we launched graphics support for AppStream 2.0 with two new instance types that Jeff Barr discussed on the AWS Blog: Graphics Instance Types on AppStream 2.0įirst, a quick recap on the GPU instance types available with AppStream 2.0. In this post, I discuss the Graphics Design instance type in detail, and how you can use it to deliver a graphics application such as Siemens NX―a popular CAD/CAM application that we have been testing on AppStream 2.0 with engineers from Siemens PLM.
The range includes the newly launched Graphics Design instance, which allows you to offer a fast, fluid user experience at a fraction of the cost of using a graphics workstation, without upfront investments or long-term commitments. AppStream 2.0 offers a choice of GPU instance types. Product Manager, Amazon AppStream 2.0ĭo you need to provide a workstation class experience for users who run graphics apps? With Amazon AppStream 2.0, you can stream graphics apps from AWS to a web browser running on any supported device.
