ilmoi··on Show HN: Cloud GPUs for Deep Learning – At 1/3 the Cost of AWS/GCP
you'll be making around $6/d, while losing $24h paying for the service.

Sorry I should have been clearer in my reply. Thanks for clarifying!

Tesla P100 is the previous generation. P100 > V100 > A100. You can see detailed benchmarking here - http://ai-benchmark.com/ranking_deeplearning.html

Not really. Firstly it will be way too expensive for you (cloud gamins is like $10/mo, this is $10/10h). Secondly the GPUs installed (Tesla V100s) are not designed for gaming - rather for ML & scientific computing.

You should check out some of the services people mention in https://www.reddit.com/r/cloudygamer/

thanks for reading the FAQ! Most people don't seem to bother:)
ilmoi··on Show HN: Cloud GPUs for Deep Learning – At 1/3 the Cost of AWS/GCP
I’m a self taught ML engineer, and when I was starting on my ML journey I was incredibly frustrated by cloud services like AWS/GCP. a)they were super expensive, b)it took me longer to setup a working GPU instance than to learn to build my first model!

So I built https://gpu.land/.

It’s a simple service that only does one thing: rents out Tesla V100s in the cloud.

Why is it awesome?

- It’s dirt-cheap. You get a Tesla V100 for $0.99/hr, which is 1/3 the cost of AWS/GCP/Azure/[insert big cloud name].

- It’s dead simple. It takes 2mins from registration to a launched instance. Instances come pre-installed with everything you need for Deep Learning, including a 1-click Jupyter server.

- It sports a retro, MS-DOS-like look. Because why not:)

The most common question I get is - how is this so cheap? The answer is because AWS/GCP are charging you a huge markup and I’m not. In fact I’m charging just enough to break even, and built this project really to give back to community (and to learn some of the tech in the process).

HN special: email me a few lines about yourself and what you’re working on and get $10 in free credit. I’m at hi@gpu.land.

Otherwise I’m around for any questions!

In case anyone needs cheap GPU compute, I built a little side project - https://gpu.land/. You can rent dirt cheap Tesla V100s at $0.99/hr. That's 1/3 of what you'd pay at GCP/AWS/insert big cloud provider. Give it a go if that's your thing:)
ilmoi··on Why do all cloud compute services have GPU quotas?
I always found that annoying. My best best is crypto mining defense.

Btw if you're looking for cheap cloud GPUs here's a little side project of mine - https://gpu.land/. You can rent dirt cheap Tesla V100s at $0.99/hr. That's 1/3 of what you'd pay at GCP/AWS/paperspace!

Give it a go and let me know if any questions:)

ilmoi··on Show HN: Crypto Mining Pools Aggregator
Built it out of necessity for one of my projects. With crypto prices rallying there's definitely more mining. Use this to get an up to date list of mining pool IPs / domains for your firewall / hosts file.
