Most people I know are just using Google Cloud. Directly integrated with Tensorflow, and way more scalable.
I can run 10 GPUs on my model training runs and finish in an hour now when they used to take at least 2 or 3 days, and it took absolutely no work on my end. It’s been absolutely wonderful for my productivity. The price doesn’t matter either because compared to how much the people are being paid at these sorts of companies, it really doesn’t matter. The boost in efficiency is so much more important.
- ericd 8y agoDoes Google Cloud run anything other than Tensorflow well? Specifically, I'm wondering about PyTorch.
- lawrenceyan 8y agoGCP is pretty tightly integrated/optimizes for Tensorflow. That’s why scaling GPU amounts wasn’t a hassle for example since I was already using the TFEstimator framework. I’m pretty sure for the next Tensorflow 3.0 update, they’re rethinking towards a Pytorch style with more dynamic computational graphs.
