To create the best experience for developing with accelerators
We created technology to virtualize GPUs over a network to enable a better GPU cloud platform.
Quick setup
Start coding in under 60 seconds. No config, code changes, or drivers required
Low cost
GPU virtualization allows us to efficiently share GPUs so that you never pay for idle time
Instant scaling
Scale from a CPU to a cluster of GPUs with one command
Meet the Team
Built For Developers by Developers
Brian Model and Carl Peterson have been close friends since they met at Georgia Tech. With backgrounds in data science and computer science, they have felt the frustration of quota limits, GPU driver installations, and high cloud bills firsthand. They believe GPU virtualization is the solution, and are building the technology to prove it.
At Thunder Compute, the greatest asset is the dedicated team, led by cloud computing experts Carl Peterson and Brian Model. Each brings a unique set of skills and experiences that drive the mission to deliver cutting-edge cloud solutions.
A new approach
From Concept to Reality: Thunder's Journey
Brian had the idea for Thunder Compute when his research lab was using an Excel sheet to sign up for GPU time two weeks in advance. The founders began brainstorming better ways for developers to use GPUs which became the foundation for Thunder Compute.

Problem
Developing with cloud GPUs sucks
Cloud GPUs are expensive, scarce, and difficult to set up. Cloud platforms are either hard to use, expensive, or both.
2
Idea
Improve this with GPU virtualization
Virtualization makes GPUs easier to use by bypassing complicated setup and cheaper by enabling GPU sharing across multiple developers.

Challenge
It took years to build Thunder Compute
Virtualization sounds amazing, and is, but it is also hard to build. It took two years of trial and error to find an approach that worked.
4
Future
Every dev will use virtualized GPUs
We continue to build a better user experience every day. Thunder Compute will be the best platform for any developer who needs accelerators.
