The $1700 great Deep Learning box: Assembly, setup and benchmarks
"...Amazon Web Services (AWS), which offered P2 instances with Nvidia K80 GPUs. Lately, the AWS bills were around $60–70/month with a tendency to get larger. Also, it is expensive to store large datasets, like ImageNet.
...
Nvidia’s cards: GTX 1070 ($360?), GTX 1080 ($500), GTX 1080 Ti ($700) and finally the Titan X ($1320)."
Amazon EC2 - P2 Instances
"P2 instances provide up to 16 NVIDIA K80 GPUs, 64 vCPUs and 732 GiB of host memory, with a combined 192 GB of GPU memory, 40 thousand parallel processing cores, 70 teraflops of single precision floating point performance, and over 23 teraflops of double precision floating point performance."
from p2.xlarge: 1 GPU, 4 vCPU, 61 GiB RAM, $0.9 / hour (= $648/month)
($0.425/h on 3 year commitment = $306/month = $11 K / 3 years)
