Instance preffered for AI ML in AWS

Question

Which instance is preffered to work for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence? Can someone help? I am new to ML/AI in AWS. I am trying to get a hands on with this.

Answer 1

The GPU-based compute instances are preferred for working with AI/ML as they provide greater throughput and performance benefits because they are designed for performing parallel processing using thousands of specialized cores per GPU, as comapred to CPUs offering sequential processing with a less number of cores. In addition, the developers get the benefits to built hundreds of GPU-optimized scientific applications such as on quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, meteorology, etc. The research in the field indicates that over 75% of the most popular HPC applications provide built-in support for GPUs. This way GPU based instances are preferred.
