Hi, I reviewed your shell script "ec2_profiler" and after installing the GRID drivers you need to activate them:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/activate_grid.html

And than, optimize GPU settings:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/optimize_gpu.html

After that rendering should be faster

Thank you for this! Any idea what sort of performance improvement we'd see from this?

We tested rendering on g3.16xlarge instance on cycles in 4K resolution, 64 samples and denoise in compositing.

Before I saw this, the render time was ~ 2:40 minutes.

After activation and optimization, it was ~ 0:50 - 1:00 min.

So the performance in our tests has more than 2x :)
