Hi @marvin , Dillon here from Paperspace. That is definitely not normal performance and we don’t throttle any bandwidth. Would you be able to send us an email to support@paperspace.com with your machine id so we can make sure everything looks good on our end?
Also, we do have shared drives and we can set you up with one of those as well. Sorry for the issues I hope we can get to the bottom of it!
Hey @dillon thanks for your reply!
I already contacted the support through the online form (told my issue, give the id number) that you are providing, I think is the same as sending an email to support@, isn’t it?
The only thing that I changed, but it has nothing to do with the current machine, is that I had second free machine which I didn’t use it - I created only for test 10 days ago, and today I deleted “deactivated” it.
yes setting up AWS takes a bit of hazzle. However, I did it today and running Week 1 notebook on a Volta, which is totally nuts because everything flies. However, there is concurrency bug that occasionally slows things down, so you can circumvent it by preventing subprocess spanning:
I wouldn’t expect the Voltas to be much faster than Paperspace’s high-specced GPUs. Paperspace seems to have the best performance vs $ at the moment, AFAICT.
@jeremy I was referring to the latest pull from github. just updated the post a moment ago. I guess the relative change is the same for all GPU’s. With Paperspace, I just got an unlucky image or day, which should be fixed soon.
Here are the step by step details to get $25 in free credits on Paperspace:
Step 1. Sign up using a referral code and you get $10-credit, and the person whose referral code is used gets $15 credit (as of this writing). Below is my link, but you can substitute it with any other referral code mentioned in this thread.
I noticed that paperspace is extremely slow (slower than my laptop) when trying to run CNN model. Any suggestions of why would this be the case. It’s the first time I use paperspace.
