Cheapest way to access high core count compute?

Hey

I need to run a compultational project for school and it's taking forever on my desktop. I want to access a high speed / high core server for a fairly short period to run this.

Any suggestions? Thanks

    maybe request an account here:

    https://studiolab.sagemaker.aws/

    Google collab.

    And MS azure may have some free credits in partnership with your university.

  • what do you need? how many cores, ram, disk... operating system? linux, windows?
    maybe i can help with some linux.
    if you can proove it's for school and not hacking or scanning PM me.

  • You can enroll in a cloud free trial with $100-300 in free credit. Just google “free cloud compute trial”

  • You probably want a provider with hourly billing.

    For example you can rent EPYC 7502P from Hetzner for 0.175 EUR/hr.

    If you are located in United States and this is for education or non-profit research purposes, you can apply for public testbeds such as Cloudlab (dedicated servers up to 128 cores, 16 hours) or FABRIC (VDS up to 62 cores, 14 days).
    If you are located in Europe, their testbeds include Grid’5000, SLICES, VirtualWall.
    All these are free as long as your project meets the qualifications of the testbed.

    What level of education? Most post-secondary education providers have quite a lot of compute and will let you use some providing you have a good justification.

    What's funny is for my AI class while getting my Com Sci degree, they provided us with free AWS servers to run AI training. Gotta love them blocking task manager and Process Explorer, but not Process Hacker....
    Anyway, You best bet is probably the hourly billing or places providing free for school people here are recommending. If you want to pay or use it besides school, Epyc are usually the cheapest per core to performance servers.
