Give suggestions if this would work for a setup for people to use.
Whats the plan?
As from what I can see and what I think you are getting at, no. The grid system relies on using GPU encoding/decoding to compress video to stream to someone. The receivers GPU then decodes and spits out the image. The limiting factor here is the speed of the device and that Nvidia has locked it down to the their cards.
Although the Raspberry Pi has quite a pucky little "Video Core" (Unlike its phenomenally poor CPU) its issue is that it is not Nvidia. The only mobile devices (or SFF) that can use Grid are those with Nvidia Tegra's.
If you want to build an Nvidia Grid like system, you will need to look into how it can be used as the decoder and control input device. (Some form of glorified RDP)
You would need at least a Tegra 4. I know Nvidia sells a Tegra K1 developer kit on new egg, but it's $160 (I think)
Since you started this thread I may as well ask ... Is their anyway to use a PI with Steams in Home-Streaming?
I don't believe the architecture is up to it. If you want a cheap streaming device, the Intel NUC is pretty cheap.
The Pi may not be up to it but more modern ARM CPUs are Valve really should get an ARM compatible streaming client.
+1 I asked because nvidia has the Shield and Shield tablet, imagine using your smartphone on your TV to stream games.
Do any remote desktop applications work with a Raspberry Pi? The VMware RDS works perfectly with all the new Intel Atom-based Windows tablets, but I am curious if they could run on the stripped down OS on a raspberry pi.
In general it seems like Intel Atom-based thin clients are the norm. I have never seen an ARM thin client before. Are those normal?
FYI, the whole Nvidia grid idea is that you could have a server with virtual machines that can handle video workloads. That is not possible right now (or at least not easily workable). So long as your device can remote into the virtual desktop, then you are fine. So far, I have only seen x86 thin clients do this. It would probably work just fine with a 2gb Windows tablet with an Intel Atom CPU.
What I do not understand is that if you can just remote into a modeling workstation on the same network (or even the same rack) when you need it, then remote into a simple VM when you don't, then why is Nvidea Grid a big deal?
my plan was to get a cheap computer where as the lowest you go is a raspberry pi but i forgot about the recquirements for nvidia grid and i was looking at this technology to debate that we could afford upgrading or computers in our school by buying a nvidia grid because we have intel pentium computers that work slow in our school
Just throw Linux on them.
There's an unofficial port of Limelight for the Pi that will work with an Nvidia Shield compatible streaming machine. From what I understand it has reasonable performance, but I haven't tried it with my own Pi.
well if the nvidia graphics wouldn't work you could always try and make your own

I've done it following those instructions.
This kind of thing has kinda already been done before http://raspberrywebserver.com/raspberrypicluster/raspberry-pi-cluster.html
