Recommended GPU Instances - AWS Deep Learning AMIs (original) (raw)

We recommend a GPU instance for most deep learning purposes. Training new models is faster on a GPU instance than a CPU instance. You can scale sub-linearly when you have multi-GPU instances or if you use distributed training across many instances with GPUs.

The following instance types support the DLAMI. For information about GPU instance type options and their uses, see EC2 Instance Types and select Accelerated Computing.

Note

The size of your model should be a factor in choosing an instance. If your model exceeds an instance's available RAM, choose a different instance type with enough memory for your application.
