Abstract
A GPU-based cloud computing platform is used to facilitate data computations on behalf of requesting users. In this embodiment, a user of a thin client has an associated dataset that requires computation. That dataset is adapted to be delivered to a computing platform, such as the GPU-based cloud, for computation, such as to facilitate a 3D volume rendering. The result of the computation is then returned to the user. Multiple such users may be operating clients and requesting computations from the cloud in a similar manner, possibly concurrently.
