Amazon AMI

Current location of AMI.

Launch a spot request of it here. Spot requests are often much cheaper but your instance can be preempted if you are outbid.

It is preferred to bookmark this wiki page instead of the image itself, since the image's URL will change when it is updated.

Preferred instance types (ordered by performance):

  • g2.2xlarge (1x GRID K520)
  • p2.xlarge (1x Tesla K80)
  • g2.8xlarge (4x GRID K520)
  • p2.8xlarge (8x Tesla K80)
  • p2.16xlarge (16x Tesla K80)

When running on a cloud computing machine, the --display none option, to disable opening the progress viewer in a browser window, is helpful. On the Amazon AMI, port 8000 has been forwarded to port 80, so if your instance settings allow port 80 you can simply go to the instance's IP address in a web browser to view the iteration progress.
