Built around what your syllabus actually assigns
Every VM launches from a template with the right software already installed — pick a use case below to see what fits.
CAD & engineering design
Rendering and orbiting large assemblies is unusable on integrated graphics. Our GPU machines give you a dedicated GPU so CAD software runs the way your professor demoed it.
GIS & spatial analysis
GIS coursework means large raster datasets and heavy processing. GPU machines come with QGIS preinstalled and enough RAM to keep large shapefiles from crawling.
Windows-only coursework software
If your program requires Windows and you have a Mac or Chromebook, a CPU VM gets you a full Windows 11 desktop in the browser — no dual-boot, no Bootcamp.
Data science & machine learning
Training a model on a laptop CPU can take hours. Our GPU machines come with CUDA and the major frameworks preinstalled so you can start training instead of configuring drivers.
Video editing & rendering
Export renders in minutes instead of overnight. GPU-accelerated encoding means your laptop's fan never has to know.
General coursework & note-taking
Even a small CPU VM is a full, fast desktop for everyday classwork — useful if your current laptop is simply old, slow, or has a failing battery.
Don't see your software?
Any Windows or Linux desktop app can be installed on your VM once it's running — templates just save you the setup time for the most common programs. Email main@staticgpu.com and we'll build a custom template for your program if enough students need it.
