Anyone good enough in AWS pricing can reproduce the $100k pricing for one collision ? Using EC2 g2.xlarge instances I'm more at $2.8M.

- bbarn 10y agoThis would still be just an average, right? Isn't it 0$ to $2.8M depending on luck?
- Aissen 10y agoI don't think that's how averages work. But it's true that relying on the birthday paradox, you can reduce the average. I was just trying to compute the "cloud" cost of 110 GPUs for 1 year (or the equivalent for a day, assuming this is embarrassingly parallel).
- Aissen 10y agoI found my mistake g2.8xlarge have 4 GPUs each, so it cuts the cost by 4 (~626k per collision). p2.16xlarge have 16 GPUs (~867k per collision). Exact model of GPU not taken into account, so this could vary widely.
