Simulation Cluster Caches
This section covers cache components for self-hosted NVCF deployments. Caches improve performance by storing frequently accessed content locally, reducing network bandwidth usage and accelerating scene loading.
Overview
Self-hosted NVCF supports several cache components:
- Derived Data Cache Service (DDCS) - Caches derived content to reduce scene load time and improve rendering performance
- USD Content Cache (UCC) - Caches USD content from object storage to accelerate scene loading
When to Use Caches
See the individual cache component guides for detailed information on when to use each cache:
- Derived Data Cache Service - Derived Data Cache Service
- USD Content Cache - USD Content Cache
Documentation
Each cache component has comprehensive documentation covering configuration, deployment, and advanced features:
Configuration
Cache components are configured using Helm values files. Each cache guide includes:
- Base configuration examples
- Configuration options and parameters
- Performance tuning recommendations
- Best practices
Monitoring
Cache components include Prometheus metrics for monitoring:
- Cache hit ratios
- Storage utilization
- Request throughput
- Performance metrics
Next Steps
- Review cache guides - Read the detailed guides for caches you want to deploy
- Plan your deployment - Determine which caches fit your use case
- Configure caches - Set up Helm values files based on the examples
- Deploy caches - Install caches using Helm or Helmfile
- Monitor performance - Set up monitoring dashboards and alerts
