At Avesha, we know that real-time inference is critical to modern AI & GenAI applications. Whether processing large datasets, training models, or fine-tuning them in real-time, businesses need the ability to handle data with precision, scalability, and efficiency. That’s why we’ve built Elastic GPU Services (EGS)—a fully managed GPU-optimized platform designed to ensure seamless data fluidity across all stages of AI workloads.

We’ve crafted EGS to meet the ever-increasing demands of real-time inference while also providing unique technological advantages such as Federated GPU Mesh architecture, EGS Compiler, and deterministic cost modeling. We’ll walk through how these features help EGS differentiate from the competition and highlight the unique capabilities that make it the go-to solution for businesses dealing with GPU-intensive tasks.

The Challenges in Real-Time Inference and How We Address Them

Real-time inference is the process of applying trained machine learning models to new data to generate actionable insights or predictions. Achieving this in real time, with massive amounts of data, presents several challenges:

  1. Latency: Many traditional infrastructures fail to maintain low latency as workloads scale, leading to slower decision-making and bottlenecks.
  2. Dynamic Scaling: Static provisioning of GPU resources either leads to over-provisioning (wasted resources) or under-provisioning (system failures under load).
  3. Complex Orchestration: Without proper orchestration, managing resources across multiple GPUs can result in inefficiencies and system breakdowns.
  4. Cost Control: GPU-based inference can become costly if resources are not optimized for fluctuating workloads.

With EGS, we aim to solve these challenges by focusing on real-time performance, flexibility, and intelligent orchestration, making it easier for businesses to scale their AI workloads effortlessly.

The Avesha EGS Approach: Key Technology Advantages

1. Federated GPU Mesh Architecture   

One of the unique aspects of EGS is our Federated GPU Mesh architecture, which allows us to centralize GPU resource pooling across multiple environments—cloud or on-premise. Unlike traditional systems that silo resources to a single environment or cloud provider, our architecture ensures that GPU resources are federated and can be accessed seamlessly across different infrastructures.

  • Dynamic Resource Pooling: This architecture allows businesses to tap into a pool of GPU resources from multiple locations without being tied to one cloud provider, enabling greater flexibility and optimal resource utilization. 
  • Seamless Workload Distribution: Federated GPU Mesh enables workloads to transition smoothly across GPUs, avoiding overburdening any single node and reducing idle resources.

This is a significant differentiator because most competing solutions rely on vendor-specific infrastructures, limiting flexibility and scalability. With EGS, businesses get the benefit of cross-cloud resource sharing and a future-proof solution that scales across any environment.

2. EGS Compiler for Optimized GPU Management   

We’ve developed the EGS Compiler to streamline how GPU resources are allocated, managed, and orchestrated. The EGS Compiler works in the background to ensure that fewer components break down, less energy is wasted, and fewer system failures occur.    

  • Less to Manage, Less to Break: The EGS Compiler trims unnecessary stages in GPU resource allocation, which means there’s less infrastructure to maintain and manage. This results in greater system reliability, lower energy consumption, and reduced complexity in GPU management.  
  • Full Visibility with CUDA and ONNX: Integrated with CUDA and ONNX libraries, EGS provides complete visibility into GPU hardware, allowing businesses to fine-tune and optimize model performance while gaining insights into how GPU resources are being used.

Compared to other solutions, our compiler automates much of the resource orchestration, making it easier to focus on innovation rather than getting bogged down by GPU management complexities.

3. Deterministic Cost Estimation and Time-to-Compute Visibility    

We built EGS to offer deterministic cost estimation based on data throughput and precise time-to-compute estimates for inference workloads. This helps businesses maintain transparency and control over their GPU resource usage and costs.    

  1. Real-Time Cost Insights: With EGS, businesses get real-time estimates of how much it will cost to run their inference workloads. This is based on the data flowing through the system and calculated down to the second, ensuring complete transparency in resource usage.   
  2. Time-to-Compute Estimates: EGS can also predict the time required for any data stream to complete its inference tasks. This allows businesses to optimize resource allocation, only provisioning GPUs for as long as necessary.

By providing real-time visibility into both cost and time, EGS ensures that businesses only pay for what they use, preventing overspending while maintaining performance. This pay-as-you-go model is a major advantage over competing solutions that often involve fixed pricing or require complex resource planning.

4. Granular GPU Usage Monitoring and Data Flow Visibility    

At Avesha, we believe that visibility and control are key to running efficient AI workloads. That’s why we’ve built granular monitoring tools into EGS that provide complete insights into how GPU resources are being utilized.    

  • Real-Time Data Flow Insights: EGS allows businesses to track how data flows through each GPU in real time. This level of visibility ensures that resources are being fully utilized and helps to identify bottlenecks before they become a problem.    
  • Usage Alignment with Workload Demands: Our system aligns GPU usage with the exact demands of each workload, ensuring optimal performance for real-time inference, training, and large-scale data processing.

This detailed level of insight into GPU resource management differentiates EGS from competitors, who often lack the real-time, granular visibility necessary for optimizing high-performance workloads.

5. Flexible Customization with Pre-Configured and Custom EGS Instances   

 We understand that no two workloads are the same, which is why EGS offers flexible customization options to meet unique business needs. Whether you’re deploying standard instances or tailoring your GPU configurations, EGS makes it easy.    

  • Pre-Configured Instances: We provide template-based deployment for businesses that need ready-made instances. These instances come pre-configured with standard GPU types and settings to ensure quick and easy deployment.    
  • Custom Instance Configurations: For more specialized needs, we offer advanced customization options, allowing businesses to tailor specifications such as GPU type, memory, storage, and networking configurations to match their workload requirements.  

This flexibility ensures that EGS can support both general-purpose AI workloads and mission-critical tasks that require specific configurations. Our competitors often offer a more rigid set of options, but with EGS, you have the freedom to optimize your infrastructure exactly the way you need it.

Why Avesha EGS Stands Out

At Avesha, we’ve designed Elastic GPU Services to solve real-world problems around real-time inference and GPU-intensive tasks. Through our Federated GPU Mesh architecture, EGS Compiler, and granular visibility tools, we’ve ensured that businesses can scale with confidence, gaining transparency and control over both cost and performance.

Our key differentiators include:

  • Cross-cloud GPU resource pooling with the Federated GPU Mesh architecture.    
  • Simplified management and reduced failure points with the EGS Compiler.    
  • Deterministic cost control and time-to-compute transparency.    
  • Granular visibility into data flow and GPU usage.   
  • Flexible, customizable GPU instances to fit any workload. 

With Avesha EGS, you get a future-proof, scalable solution designed to handle real-time AI workloads efficiently—allowing you to innovate faster, cut costs, and ensure that your GPU infrastructure is always optimized for success.
