AWS and EC2 is probably a pretty good deal for high CPU, hi IO within the cloud, but very low IO egress. Monte Carlo simulations? PDE computations?

PDE computations?
- pmiller2 7y agoWouldn't a lot of that stuff be better done on GPU instances, even at a higher per hour cost?
- kinkrtyavimoodh 7y agoEC2 also has GPU instances, right? The p2/p3/g3/g4 series.
- User23 7y agoThis raises a good point. Would anyone be willing to give some examples of use cases where egress to cloudfront or ec2 isn't viable? Most useful computations I can think of involve consuming large amounts of data and simplifying it to some easily digestible result. Media streaming is the first and only example that comes to mind, but I'm sure there must be others.
