Oh shit. Say goodbye to reasonable g2.8xlarge spot prices...
- argonaut 11y agoI'm not aware of any research lab that uses AWS for these things. It's cheaper to just buy the GPU yourself.
- jedberg 11y agoAWS is a sponsor of this, which probably means a bunch of free resources.
- argonaut 11y agog2.8xlarge also only has 4GB of VRAM per GPU, which is too small for most recent deep learning models. The TitanX GPU has 12GB, by comparison.
- yeukhon 11y agoBut you don't change the GPU yourself :-) you use it as a service. That's the good part, although the spec is not very good.
