GPU?

nitemarenitemare Member
in Requests

Does anyone know of any provider(s) that will put a GPU in a server? I have a customer who is requesting a GPU and i'm kind of at a loss on this one.

    Almost all will not. You could however go for a processor such as a E3-1245:

    It includes integrated graphics on the chip, isn't crazy powerful but it does work. As I am curious, is this for mining? I can't think of any other use.

    Didn't Amazon have some kind of GPU compute instances?

    Perhaps some video encoding related stuff?

    Yup. Although a bit pricey at $.65/hr or $470/month on demand. :P

    A GPU is a power hog. Doing a bit of mining?

    Softlayer does GPU servers, probably way out of your budget. http://www.softlayer.com/dedicated-servers/high-performance-computing

    yeah, having GPU in servers is quite expensive....
    Balticservers.com do them though

    NVIDIA, not good for miners...

    Any serious number crunching will greatly benefit from the GPU by CUDA and OpenCL. And the binding for some high level programming languages, like python make it less difficult for GPGPU programming.

    Very true!

    Depending what he/she wants you may be better looking at colo.

    That would be my suggestion as well. With colocation you can control yourself what hardware you are using.

    BalticServers will: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1349968
    but the prices are such ("such prices, wow") that this makes little to no sense whatsoever.

    Radeon R9 270x - One time fee 180 euro + 40 euro/month for electricity

    Radeon R9 290 - One time fee 380 euro + 60 euro/month for electricity
    Radeon R9 290x - One time fee 530 euro + 70 euro/month for electricity
