The GPU pool.

Two GTX 1060 6GB cards are exclusive to a paid customer on the i7. The single i9 1060 is a shared Cloud + Lounge card: cloud acceleration when it helps, and Lounge AI/streaming when it is free.

Paid first.The dual i7 node is exclusive to its paid VM. Free workloads never preempt it. The i9 card is shared by Cloud acceleration and Lounge, with Cloud yielding to AI/streaming.

Host poll

Live host load, memory, VM/container counts, and paid-VM status update every ~20 seconds from the Proxmox hosts. GPU utilization for the paid cards is not readable from the host because the 1060s are passed through to the VM; the telemetry column shows the host binding/runtime state instead.

One free GTX 1060 shared by Cloud acceleration (media transcoding, previews, AI helper) and Lounge workloads. Cloud acceleration is opportunistic and yields to AI/streaming. Plus gets first call when the pool is idle.

Conditionalcloud.ascsonoway.comAI helper, OG/screenshot/PDF rendering, and image processing. Ordinary page serving stays on CPU.

NoneBridge / statusNo GPU code path. Keep it on CPU; pinning the card here would waste it.

Cloud acceleration is deliberately not pinned to static web serving. It earns its keep on media transcode, GPU-rendered previews, AI helpers, and streamed playtests. It yields to AI/streaming, and paid dual-GPU capacity is never touched.

Allocation rules

Plus gets first call.Plus gets first call on the shared 1060 when it is idle; paid dual-GPU capacity is still absolute priority. Kids Plus accounts inherit the same priority.

ASCS Credit is a stack-wide account balance for eligible Cloud orders and add-ons, including Lounge Plus. The same balance can cover paid GPU or Cloud services and Lounge Plus. The i9 1060 is not pinned to a Cloud service today because the current AMP/game-server stack has no GPU code path. It stays pooled for Lounge AI/streaming and opportunistic Cloud acceleration. Status is manually verified after hardware changes; the API is the coordination ledger, not a hypervisor.
