What type of applications would need this amount of bandwidth?
- ryanlol 8y agoCould easily use this for web scraping. But at amazon prices? Ha! Amazon gives some examples though "With up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth, your simulations, in-memory caches, data lakes, and other communication-intensive applications will run better than ever"
- zapita 8y agoYou seem like the ideal customer.
- ec109685 8y agoIngres is free though.
- dextersgenius 8y agoYes but they've recently added some P2W features, which is a bit concerning. Here's hoping that they tone down the IAPs in the coming months, before they retire the old scanner.
- mcrute 8y agoLarge parallel computation jobs such as machine learning model training that require massive amounts of data would benefit from instances like this.

- Xcelerate 8y agoI performed MD simulations all throughout my PhD, on three different supercomputers as well as on a virtual cluster I set up on Azure. I didn’t say latency wasn’t a bottleneck; but the parent poster asked why additional bandwidth would be needed. It’s definitely necessary, but not sufficient. I would argue though that for simulations with very long-range force fields or ones that include quantum chemical effects, bandwidth is THE bottleneck. Latency more so for short range force fields for non-reactive potentials.
