Cloud Resources for Deep Learning (GPUs)

Shane Maloney edited this page Aug 30, 2019 · 1 revision

If you want to start using deep neural networks then you really need access to NVIDIA GPUs to speed up the training process. Even if you have access to a GPUs managing the drivers and version of the various packages can be a pain and takes time

Cloud resources give access to GPUs and even preconfigured deep learning environments

This is far from a complete reference but this are the programmes and products I've had experience with.

Zero effort

Google Colab (HD - 20GB, RAM - 12GB GPU - K80 12GB) instances last for 12 hours

Microsoft Azure Notebooks (HD - 20GB, RAM 4GB, GPU - none ) instances last for ?

Minimal effort (+credit card)

Google Cloud Research Credits

Short (two page) research proposal to get $5000 in cloud credits for 6 months every year for different projects!

More effort (+credit card)

Amazon Web Services Credits

Estimate costs using their calculator which is a bit painful and then submit request.

Kaggle

Upload dataset

Microsoft Azure
