Update GPU Application Configuration

Overview

ProjectX Infinity is a unified cloud compute platform designed to run diverse workloads efficiently. The Gazebo application—commonly used for robotic simulation and 3D visualization—can benefit significantly from GPU acceleration when handling complex rendering or physics computations. By enabling GPU support in the application configuration, you allocate GPU resources to the instance, improving performance for graphics-intensive operations while maintaining cost efficiency through selective acceleration. This configuration change takes effect after saving and typically applies on the next application restart or session.

Before you begin

  • Active ProjectX Infinity account with access to infinity.projectx.cloud
  • Sufficient dashboard credits (100+ shown in the interface)
  • The Gazebo application already deployed in your applications list
  • GPU resource availability in your ProjectX subscription tier
  • User role with permission to modify application settings (typically project owner or administrator)

Step by step

1
Clickrahulkumaran

Click on your user account name (rahulkumaran) in the top navigation to access the account menu.

Tip. This dropdown typically contains profile, settings, and logout options. Keep it open to verify you are logged in as the correct user before proceeding.
Step 1
2
ClickDashboard

Click the Dashboard button to navigate to the main ProjectX Infinity dashboard where your applications and resource overview are displayed.

Step 2
3
ClickApplications

Click the Applications button in the left sidebar or navigation menu to view your list of deployed applications.

Tip. The Applications view shows all instances with their current resource allocations (CPU, memory, GPU status). This is your starting point for configuration changes.
Step 3
4
ClickGazebo4 CPU • 4 GB • GPU

Click on the Gazebo4 application card (labeled 'Gazebo4 CPU • 4 GB • GPU') to open the application details and configuration panel.

Tip. The application card displays current resource assignments. The 'GPU' label indicates this instance type supports GPU resources, though acceleration may not yet be enabled.
Step 4
5
Click100 Dashboard Credits Profile System Shortcuts Applications Sessions Application Settings Gazebo CPU Cores Memory 4 GB GPU Acceleration Enable GPU for graphics-intensive apps Auto-stop after idle (minutes) 2 min - 24 hours (1440 min) Startup CPU Boos

Click on the Application Settings panel or section within the Gazebo application details to display the full configuration form including CPU cores, memory, GPU acceleration toggle, and auto-stop settings.

Tip. This panel typically appears as a scrollable form below the application header. Scroll down if you do not immediately see the GPU Acceleration option.
Step 5
6
Clickbutton

Click the GPU Acceleration toggle button to enable GPU resources for the Gazebo application. The toggle should move from 'OFF' to 'ON' or display a checkmark indicating GPU is now enabled.

Tip. Some dashboard UIs require explicit confirmation after toggling. If the toggle does not stay in the ON position, click it again or look for a confirmation dialog.
Step 6
7
Clickbutton

Click any additional configuration toggle or button if required by the interface to finalize GPU settings (such as confirming resource allocation or auto-scaling options). Verify the GPU Acceleration toggle remains in the ON position.

Tip. This step may be a secondary confirmation button or may modify related settings such as auto-stop policies. Review the settings panel to ensure no conflicting options are selected.
Step 7
8
ClickSave

Click the Save button within the Application Settings panel to persist your configuration changes to the application instance.

Tip. After clicking Save, the panel may display a brief loading indicator. Do not close the browser tab or navigate away until the save completes.
Warning. Clicking Save commits the configuration change. GPU resources will be allocated immediately, potentially affecting dashboard credits consumption. Verify settings are correct before saving.
Step 8
9
ClickSave

Click the Save button again if a confirmation dialog or secondary save prompt appears, or to finalize the application settings in the dashboard. This ensures all changes are permanently applied to the Gazebo instance.

Tip. Some interfaces show a confirmation modal after the first save. This second Save confirms the change and closes the settings panel.
Warning. This is the final save action. Once completed, GPU acceleration will be active on your Gazebo instance and will consume GPU credits on your account.
Step 9

Confirm it worked

  1. 1The GPU Acceleration toggle appears in the 'ON' or enabled position after step 7, before final save
  2. 2A confirmation message appears after clicking Save in step 9, or the Application Settings panel closes and returns to the application list
  3. 3The Gazebo application card in the Applications list displays 'GPU' label (e.g., 'Gazebo4 CPU • 4 GB • GPU')
  4. 4On next application launch, the Gazebo session uses GPU resources (confirmed in performance metrics or resource monitor within the application)
