I think he just means something like Amazon EC2. I have a GPU 2xlarge instance running, right now, training a recurrent neural network to spew humorous text. You can get them for less than $.15 per hour if you use spot instances. Just set your maximum bid up near the actual per-hour price, and you'll usually be good for hours. You can also get the 8xlarge, which has monster CUDA power.

Incidentally, I already had almost all of the requirements for that neural picture-maker already installed on my rnn EC2 instance. I just got it up and running in about two minutes. If it works, and I am feeling better later on, I may take requests.
Can you help me out and point me in the direction to get that stuff setup? I have this thing running on a local VM, and its chugging along but Its taking all my processing power so I gotta turn it off. It looks like it will take me 4 hours to do 100 iterations.

So, I got all the technical stuff, I just need some help understanding how to work with Amazon.

Was it easy to setup?

edit: that is to say, were you able just to follow the step by step and it worked? I dont have a server but I have a OC'd skylake + 980ti since it apparently uses cuda

I'm going through it right now. The linux part is super easy, took me like 10 minutes of copy/pasting some commands.

What is holding me up now is setting up Amazon EC2. I've never done it before, so I have a lot of questions with everything I'm selecting. Like, for instance, should I first create an AMI and then use that? If so, how the hell do I do that.

e: To your "e" question - yes, its dirt simple.

Use a g2.2xlarge instance. Select CentOS 7.2 with cloud init from the community AMIs.

The same picture as before, but done with 2,000 iterations.



Edit: The Amazon instance costs me like $20/day, so I won't be able to take huge numbers of requests.

Oh man, but I'm only use to ubuntu :( Will it be mostly the same?


e: there's two AMIs like that, hvm and para - I'm guessing I should go with a HVM if I want to take advantage of CUDA?

The package names will be different, since CentOS uses yum instead of apt-get, but it's similar. I had some issues using GPU with Ubuntu on Amazon, so I stick with CentOS.

Edit: Yes, HVM.

I am using virtual box here at work just to give it a little test run but im expecting performance to be awful of course. When I get home im going to just install it as dual boot on my computer so I get all the sweet performance

I've added this to the queue, so we'll be able to compare the result. I suspect they run less than 500 iterations on the website.
