I'd recommend a local custom build over EC2. EC2 GPU instances are virtualized via a Hypervisor, which dramatically reduces performance on multi-GPU networks. and this doesn't take into account the large amounts of disk space needed for the training set.
- sandGorgon 11y agodoes anyone know which hypervisor do they use ? Can I build a local EC2 GPU instance with these GPUs ? I'm quite amazed that they are able to get the drivers, etc working with these GPUs on top of a hypervisor
- UK-AL 11y agoThere are dedicated instances specifically for this purpose.
- sandGorgon 11y agoagreed - but which hypervisor do they use ?
- UK-AL 11y agoNormally xen?
- ericjang 11y agoMy guess is that they use http://www.nvidia.com/object/virtual-gpus.html http://www.nvidia.com/object/virtual-gpus.html
