Google has announced lower prices for the use of\u00a0Nvidia\u2019s Tesla GPUs\u00a0through its Compute Engine by up to 36 percent. In U.S. regions, using the somewhat older K80 GPUs will now cost $0.45 per hour while using the newer and more powerful\u00a0P100\u00a0machines will cost $1.46 per hour (all with\u00a0per-second billing).
\nThe company is also dropping the prices for preemptible local SSDs by almost 40 percent. \u201cPreemptible local SSDs\u201d refers to local SSDs attached to Google\u2019s preemptible VMs. You can\u2019t attach GPUs to preemptible instances, though, so this is a nice little bonus announcement \u2014 but it isn\u2019t going to directly benefit GPU users.
\nAs for the new GPU pricing, it\u2019s clear that Google is aiming this feature at developers who want to run their own machine learning workloads on its cloud, though there also are a number of other applications \u2014 including physical simulations and molecular modeling \u2014 that greatly benefit from the hundreds of cores that are now available on these GPUs. The P100, which is officially\u00a0still in beta\u00a0on the Google Cloud Platform, features 3594 cores, for example.
\nDevelopers can attach up to four P100 and eight K80 dies to each instance. Like regular VMs, GPU users will also receive sustained-use discounts, though most users probably don\u2019t keep their GPUs running for a full month.
\nIt\u2019s hard not to see this announcement in the light of AWS\u2019s upcoming annual developer conference, which will take over most of Las Vegas\u2019s hotel conference space next week. AWS is expected to make a number of AI and machine learning announcements, and chances are we\u2019ll see some price cuts from AWS, too.
