Don't know if this helps, but AWS (Amazon Web Services) has massive compute capability. You can put together a supercomputer that could be listed on the top 500 in an hour.
It costs a bunch though.
I used up to 500 of these servers when BTC was surging in 2013 to make a little bit of profit, until everyone else started doing the same thing bumping up the spot prices.

You are looking for cloud gaming.
Some projects were started but i cant remember them being really successful.

I think the main cause is that majority of paying gamers have actually good gaming hardware.

Who doesnt wont have enough money for cloud gaming either.

What I want is a giant super play station 4-5 or maybe 10 of them in different countries and then we all could connect to the nearest station and play multiplayer games.
When you download a video file from the internet you are downloading some data which will turn back to the video once you receive them. but what if we could project the video by sending it through fiber lines with the speed of light? we can gather light particles which are coming from millions and billions years away traveling through space and yet we turn that light into images showing stars and galaxies, why not sending light in a narrow fiber tube and just project it on a screen at the receiving end of the line?
I'm a stupid person, I know nothing about technology but I know this much though, they're denying us the best available technologies. for e,g: we're still using 100 years old radio waves to connect either WiFi or other so called new 4/5 generations. they are sending data to Mars and back to earth with the speed of light and with a bandwidth of 8GBps while they only recently started to provide barely 1GBps for their own citizens.
Long story short, I just wanted to throw some ideas, who knows we might as well see very soon an ICO providing such services but them being poor coders they'd need our money first Cheesy

Hello people, I wanted to know if there is anything like a super computer or at least a powerful computer that could do whatever I could usually do with my own desktop computer but this time I only receive the end results on my screen.
Imagine if you could render graphical frames with the most highest quality impossible for your own PC to handle but you could use a remote PC to do the hard work and all you'd need would be a fast internet connection, so why you guys instead of creating so many useless ICOs and projects, why don't you make this idea of mine to happen?
So you want "us guys" to spend millions building a (centralized) supercomputer that has uptime running costs in the thousands, in the hopes that we can offset these costs by selling graphical rendering services?

If you are rendering anything worthwhile, it means that you are making money from it and should have the money to buy a rendering server by yourself.
It seems as though your idea was a shower thought, without any actual thinking going into it, no one will make it happen because it's terrible.
EDIT: It's important to add that even if such a thing was possible/existed, the amount of money that you'd pay for an internet connection and network infrastructure to support it would far exceed the amount of money for a rendering machine in a few months. Of course, that depends on the project, but 4K video rendering would require at least a 1Gbps connection for a seamless experience.

If you've the inclination to do it, then take a look at BOINC.  Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, there is a project already on it that handles large-scale graphical computing.  There was even a project that mined BTC for a while.  Oh, and there is also an altcoin associated with some of the projects, Gridcoin, GRC.
