@ 2016/11/19Different flavours
Google Cloud is planning to add GPUs as a service early next year, following Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and IBM’s Bluemix.
Writing in the company bog, Google wants to distinguish itself, however, with the variety of GPUs it’s offering. On the list is a AMD FirePro S9300 x2 and two Nvidia Teslas - the P100 and the K80.
Google will charge by the minute, not by the hour, making GPU usage more affordable for customers needing it only for short periods. The GPUs are not going to be used for gaming but tasks such as rendering or large-scale simulations. They could be wizard at performing risk analysis, studying molecular binding or optimizing the shape of a turbine blade.
