There is an interesting offer by Hetzner that's available for some month now.
They provide a dedicated server with a GTX 1080 for ~99e/month (111$/month) with adequate CPU (i7-6700), 64G Memory, 500G disk space and 50TB Traffic - there are also on-demand offerings by GCP and AWS, but I do not think they can match the offer by Hetzner: https://www.hetzner.de/us/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex51ssd-gpu https://www.hetzner.de/us/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex51ss.... Keep in mind that I am talking about R&D, in particular training of networks - which has lower expectations on availability than e.g. later inference.
Disclosure: I am not affiliated with Hetzner and did not test it yet, but I have a ~40e dedicated machine there for occasional number crunching and everything worked so far (no availability or hardware issues).
Furthermore I am not sure about the exact specifications (Memory-Size of GPU) or if there are different types of 1080s that differ significantly in Deep Learning Performance (see also: https://github.com/jcjohnson/cnn-benchmarks https://github.com/jcjohnson/cnn-benchmarks).
- throwaway32131 9y agoThe electricity will likely cost a significant chunk of that, if one were running that full time in Germany. 0.5 * 24 * 30 * (30 c/kWH) = $108 However, it'd be a third of that in the states (may be cheaper in WA).
- dahauns 9y agoIndustrial consumers in Germany pay nowhere near 30c/kwh, more like 10-15c. (depending on size and exemptions)
- visionscaper 9y agoI might be mistaken, but these servers just have one GTX 1080.
