The earlier comment claimed that the GPUs (!!!) were located elsewhere on the network; I suspect that the scenario you describe is what they intended to refer to.
(IIRC AWS offers compute optimized instances with a volume that's guaranteed to be backed by blocks on a local NVMe drive.)
- nl 6y agoI think they are confused with AWS Elastic Inference. That is a different thing which does have network attached accelerators: Amazon Elastic inference accelerators are GPU-powered hardware devices that are designed to work with any EC2 instance, Sagemaker instance, or ECS task to accelerate deep learning inference workloads at a low cost. When you launch an EC2 instance or an ECS task with Amazon Elastic Inference, an accelerator is provisioned and attached to the instance over the network. https://aws.amazon.com/machine-learning/elastic-inference/faqs/ https://aws.amazon.com/machine-learning/elastic-inference/fa...
