Rescale pricing: "Price as low as $0.04/core/hour" - if I am reading this correctly, training on a K40 Nvidia GPU (with nearly 3000 cores) amounts to about $100

Bit pricey, no? Or am I not reading this right?
- trhway 10y agothe real price is "request for quote", so your number seems to be in the ballpark :)
- nl 10y agoI'd assume that is priced per CPU core (never seen anything priced per GPU core). From memory the $0.04/hour is the base price for EC2 GPU spot instances.
- kramimus 10y agoYes, you are correct. All our pricing is currently by CPU core. We are working on updates to make pricing more clear for GPU offerings. Our rate for a single K40 at the moment is $6/hr. (works at Rescale)
- gcr 10y agoHow do you plan on making your service's pricing competitive? Amazon's current spot market instances are ~30 cents per hour, which is twenty times cheaper.
- dbecker 10y agoFor a faster GPU, that allows me to iterate more quickly, I'd be more than happy to pay an extra few bucks an hour.
- kramimus 10y agoI cannot comment on future per node pricing at the moment, but we are currently working on new offerings that should improve both performance (CUDA cores/node) and $/CUDA core metrics.
- gcr 10y agoEC2 GPU spot instances average around $0.20 per hour in the cheapest region. On-demand instances are $0.65 per hour.
