Would be better if Volta-based P3 instances are involved in the comparison. Spoiler Alert: It is a game changer.

- minimaxir 9y agoI talked about Volta at the end of the post, but it’ll still be a bit for Volta/cuDNN 7 support is baked into the native Tensorflow/CNTK distributions. Even if Volta has the speed advantages touted, I doubt P3s will be as cost-effective as a K80.
- oh-kumudo 9y agoIt is actually more interesting than that. My experience is P3 instance can significantly accelerate the training performance, as much as 2x-3x, so to train the same model, you won't need to keep the instance up nearly as long for a K80 instance.
