Theta Labs says Theta EdgeCloud will expand support to 3D rendering tasks in the future. What makes it unique in the market is its ability to leverage the most advanced GPU performance and edge nodes distributed globally. To achieve its purpose, EdgeCloud now implements two technologies: innovative cloud computing task scheduling and allocation technology to intelligently allocate and route computing tasks.
Generative rendering, which converts text into 3D, is the key, and the entire process is divided into two steps. The first step involves optimizing the low-resolution 3D mesh, while the next steps include high-resolution rendering and optimizing the final model.
Relatively low computational demands drive the initial phase. As a result, community shards or Theta edge nodes execute this work at a financial cost. The second step is only necessary if your allocation needs to leverage high-performance EdgeCloud GPUs.
The algorithm treats the two steps as different operations. The score is calculated by an equation that determines where efficiency can be achieved at a reasonable cost.
Theta’s years of accumulated experience and patents support development. Since September 2016, Theta Labs has been able to secure four patents for 360 rendering and other technologies related to this sector. Also driving growth is the experience of being one of the first platforms to host VR 360 live streaming.
This took place with NVIDIA in front of 10,000 people at the Barclays Center in New York.
EdgeCloud is scheduled to launch on May 1, 2024. The Theta team will leverage its 3D 360 rendering experience to further focus on AI computing tasks. In the future, Theta Labs will upgrade edge nodes globally to ensure that their versions are aligned with development. Better support for 3D rendering testing tasks. Participants will be compensated in TFUEL.
There are more plans in the pipeline focused on driving development forward. EdgeCloud, for example, aims to enable full 3D rendering and AI applications that leverage 3D. This includes the use of complex 3D visual effects in animations and films. It will boast the stability and scalability that media companies seek.
This development comes after Theta Labs announced its 2024 roadmap. The roadmap was divided into two parts. The first half, or H1, brings the first release of EdgeCloud. The Elite+ Booster feature will be launched in EEN along with the introduction of virtual management and operations dashboards.
The second half of the year will see the introduction of EdgeCloud 2, which provides full decentralization of the Theta Video API for DRMm extended TDROP use cases and integrates Theta Web3 Theaters into the ThetaDrop Plus partner platform.
That means the third release of EdgeCloud will be released next year, in 2025, and will feature the first hybrid cloud computing platform.
