$2.10 per hour The Cluster GPU instance family currently contains a single instance type, the Cluster GPU Quadruple Extra Large with the following specifications: 22 GB of memory 33.5 EC2 Compute Units (2 x Intel Xeon X5570, quad-core “Nehalem” architecture) 2 x NVIDIA Tesla “Fermi” M2050 GPUs 1690 GB of instance storage 64-bit platform I/O Performance: Very High (10 Gigabit Ethernet) API name: cg1.4xlarge Title: Re: Announcing Cluster GPU Instances for Amazon EC2 Post by: cKleinhuis on November 15, 2010, 10:07:07 AM wow, computing power is reaching massiveareas, i find it funny how the human beings adopt to the limit of ~4Ghz, since the last decade, massive
parallelism has reached us, i think that many of the "classic" algorithms need a redesign concerning parallel throughput, e.g. sorting an array of numbers amazing news, thx Title: Re: Announcing Cluster GPU Instances for Amazon EC2 Post by: ker2x on November 15, 2010, 11:06:23 AM i'm glad i postponed my purchase of a tesla card (or a bi-gpu clevo laptop, i wasn't sure yet). |
