- jamesblonde 9y agoBallpark - 1100 dollars on AWS. 44hr 28min (from Dawnbench - http://dawn.cs.stanford.edu/benchmark/ http://dawn.cs.stanford.edu/benchmark/ ) on a DGX-1 (cost 24.48 dollars/hour on p3.16xlarge). https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/ https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/ On a DL11 server, it will take about 60 hrs, and only cost you 15k upfront. The economics speak for themselves for fp32 training, at this moment in time.
