GPU based alorithm on AWS Lambda










3















I have a function which perform some mathematical operations and need a 16gb GPU system, But this function will not be triggered always and rest of time my system will not be in use. I came to know about AWS Lambda.
Can I run GPU based algorithm on Lambda?? So that whenever I need GPU, I will get the system on cloud. I need a little description about it.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

          You can't specify the runtime environment for AWS Lambda functions, so no, you can't require the presence of a GPU (in fact the physical machines AWS chooses to put into its Lambda pool will almost certainly not have one).



          Your best bet would be to run the GPU-requiring function as a Batch job on a compute cluster configured to use p-type instances. The guide here might be helpful.

            Currently lambda doesn't have GPU.



            However, if you just need to do inference; the emulation via CPU works fine on AWS lambda; here is an article that goes into more details:

              Batch is a good solution for certain types of workload.
              Another option is GPUs on ECS, which could be used for running frequent tasks utilising GPU.
