Google's Compute Engine Now Offers Machines With Up To 64 CPU Cores, 416GB of RAM (techcrunch.com)

Posted by msmash on Thursday March 9, 2017 @11:20AM from the welcome-changes dept.

An anonymous reader shares a TechCrunch report: Google is doubling the maximum number of CPU cores developers can use with a single virtual machine on its Compute Engine service from 32 to 64. These high-power machines are now available in beta across all of Google's standard configurations and as custom machine types, which allow you to select exactly how many cores and memory you want. If you opt to use 64 cores in Google's range of high-memory machine types, you'll also get access to 416GB of RAM. That's also twice as much memory as Compute Engine previously offered for a single machine and enough for running most memory-intensive applications, including high-end in-memory databases. Running your apps on this high-memory machine will set you back $3.7888 per hour (though you do get all of Google's usual sustained-use discounts if you run it for longer, too).

Alt GPU service I've been using - FloydHub by SuperKendall · 2017-03-09 11:29 · Score: 5, Informative

I'll have to check out this Google offering too, but since this is pretty relevant topic to stuff I've been doing recently - another online option is FloydHub. They are cheaper than AWS, and I like them because they bill per second of use, and you can choose to use GPU or CPU services (the CPU seems kind of slow). They also have really nice support for python and Jupyter notebooks running on the server, along with the ability to upload large datasets (for machine learning jobs) and an API for programatic access to the computational services.
It's mainly targeted to deep learning stuff so if you need GPU for other things it may not be as useful. But if you are playing with Deep Learning this kind of service makes training models way more feasible for those of us who normally do not buy really expensive GPU's. It'a also nice to do what you can to support companies trying to go up against Amazon or Google, and the FloydHub people have been very responsive to questions I have asked.

  If your wife is setting your budget, you're not in the target market for big cloud providers. Does your wife care about scalability? Does she see the benefit of being able to add 500 servers to your pool for this afternoon's peak load, and then releasing them after peak to save money? What sort of durability does she expect for your data? Does she want you to spread your servers across AZ's or regions so if one goes down, your service can still live on?

Really 64 cores? by Anonymous Coward · 2017-03-09 12:13 · Score: 4, Interesting

Are these actual CPU cores, or just hyper-threads like with Amazon's AWS? If these are still in Google's "n1" class then by their own documentation they are indeed hyper-threaded.
Hyper-threaded virtual cores, while nice for desktop i7s, are nearly useless for large-scale compute jobs using the likes of ACML, MKL or MPI.
If these really are hyper-threads rather than physical cores then you're only going to get 32 real threads of compute performance and should pay for such.

  Heh, and you probably think that if they are physical cores that they're exclusively dedicated too. There's this thing called virtualization, perhaps you've heard of it?
  KVM doesn't "recommend" provisioning more than 10 vCPUs per pCore, but does allow it. Not to mention, vSphere will let you configure up to 32 vCPUs per actual CPU thread.
  That having been said, overcommitting CPUs to at least some extent definitely makes sense in almost every case, unless 100% of virtual machines are always close to 100% utilization on all of their vCPUs, continuously and indefinitely. Given any sufficiently large set of heterogeneous VMs, there will always be some idle or waiting on I/O or network, etc. If you just let the cores sit idle because they are dedicated to a specific user, you're throwing money away and the user should pay for such.
  On a side note, when I started working the minimum wage was lower than one of these virtual machine instances, and I'm not even that old (so feel free to kick back on my lawn).

  Aww...is wee APK upset? We wanna know! Are you just mad? Raging mad? Sobbing like a little girl because anon continues to tear you a new asshole ever time you throw up a wall of APK spam on Slashdot? Bet Ars doesn't let you do that. Tell ya what, be a good little boy and smash your computer to pieces (using your face, please!) and stop spamming Slashdot. Then go find a therapist and ask why the big boys and girls keep putting you back in your box or why you shit yourself and spam every single story that might be remotely related to RFC 952...
  
  Uh oh! APK has invoked Internet Tough Guy mode: "Come to my home, to my face & talk that way to me - FUCKING try it pussy - I will put you out for good, I swear to Christ (I hate worthless punk weasels like YOU fucker)"
  
  Just to clarify, Mr. Internet Tough guy, you're what, 50 years old or more, right? Listen up fucknut, the majority of the Internet shits bigger than you and you can't punch your way out of a wet paper bag. Real middle aged men don't make pathetic internet threats, so let's go ahead and assume you were brain damaged as a child and stopped maturing past the age of 10. Does that sound about right, Mr. Kowalski?
  
  Another APKism: "P.S.=>" Why do you do that, WORTHLESS "ne'er-do-well" bitch motherfucker PUSSY?"
  BTW: The world stopped using the phrase "ne're-do-well" many years ago. Do try catching up.
  
  Since APK is being a bad boy yet again, someone needs to notify your ISP abuse manager and show them the fucking *thousands* of pages of comment spam you've spewed over the years. Maybe they'll do the right thing and terminate your account.
  
  Who supports me? How about all those Internet citizens you offended with your 9-year old writing style, your walls of APK spam and your complete inability to act like a rational fucking human.

See my subject: Pretty much what goes on in my neighborhood daily - a worm like u wouldn't survive 1 second here you punk. I didn't lie about a thing I posted. It's THAT bad around here & has been for decades.
Let's see - in the past 10 yrs., I've walked away unscathed from 2 gangs attempting to rob me & another time from a fool @ a bar who tried to cave my head in w/ a pipe (he ended up knocked out 1 shot). 3 gang members ended up in the hospital (no doubt in my mind) & I doubt you could do the same. You learn to do that around here or end up dead (I'd say unfortunately you have to learn that, but it's survival skill you can take anywhere imo).

  You live in a shit-poor area? That's because you can't program to save your pathetic spamming life (nor have you any other viable skills we'd bet!).Most of us, on the other hand, have been, and continue to be successful in the technology field. No gangs, where I am, thank you very much.
  
  Castrated? Nope, have two awesome kids of my own. How many kids you got? That's right! None. You're a pathetic 50+ year old spammer who needs roommates to survive. Think about that: You're 50 *and have never been able to make it on your own*. You're a spamming fuck up...creampuff?
  
  Most of us live pretty well. You know why? Because we're not pathological liars and sociopaths. Remember your promise! Stop spamming Slashdot or deal with being called out. Every single time.
  
  Where do you live? Want to contact all the ISPs in that area to report your 10-year SPAM campaign. One of them will be yours...

I'm going to continue using the Host File Engine. Your software is well written, functional. The Host File Engine performs exactly as promised by mmell

his hosts program is actually pretty good by xenotransplant

APK is kinda right. I've tried his hosts file generating software. It works by bmo
