The P3 instances are the first widely and easily accessible machines that use the NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs. These GPUs are straight up scary in terms of firepower. To give an understanding of the speed-up compared to the P2 instances for a research project of mine: + P2 (K80) with single GPU: ~95 seconds per epoch + P3 (V100) with single GPU: ~20 seconds per epoch Admittedly this isn't exactly fair for either GPU - the…

I can't easily find pricing information on the P3 instances. Have you come across a simple table with the prices?

showing up for me on https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ for each of On-Demand Instances, Reserved Instances, Spot Instances, and Dedicated Hosts pricing lists. Are you selecting the regions where this is available - US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), EU West (Ireland) and Asia Pacific (Tokyo)?

Per the marketing material it's up to a PFLOP of mixed precision (is that the same as just saying "half precision"? or is it 8 bit?) for $25/hour. I can easily see people paying full price for that. Still, spot price is currently $2.40.

It must be a misplaced comma. 15.7 single precision can never translate to 125 mixed.
