We are excited to announce the pilot launch of Linode GPU instances. These instances are tailored towards workloads such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, high quality graphics rendering, video transcoding and scientific computing.
Linode GPU instances are built on NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000 GPU cards. This is the first time these cards are being offered by a cloud provider, and includes all three major types of processing cores (CUDA, Tensor, and Ray Tracing). It’s the next step in cloud computing for Linode, and advances our mission of making cloud computing simple and accessible to everyone.
All Linode GPU instances come with dedicated CPU cores and your choice of one to four cards per instance.
We’re rolling this out initially as a pilot. There’s limited availability (these things are expensive!) and it’s only available in Newark for now. But most importantly, we want you to help shape our next steps. So, please take a look at what we have, maybe give it shot, and let us know what you think or what your needs are by sending us an email or by opening a ticket.
