Compute

What it is

Dedicated compute, as a bare metal or virtual machine instance, running on Intel® processors.

Why use

  • Accelerate AI development for training and inference, applications, and micro-services

  • Evaluate performance of AI/ML workloads running on Intel® processors

  • Get compute resources for free (on some processors), coupon credits, and competitive price-performance

  • Leverage AI-Accelerators for premium or enterprise accounts

Typical Use Case(s)

Bare Metal (BM)

Bare metal compute instances are intended for general use and deploying CPU, GPU, and AI-accelerated processors. Current offerings include: 4th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors; Intel® Max Series GPU (PVC); Habana Gaudi2 Deep Learning Server.

256GB and 1TB

AI and core computing.

Virtual Machine (VM)

VM compute instances are intended for managing workloads in CPU and AI applications. They help support developers world-wide to test and experiment with on-demand workloads and applications. A VM requires a hypervisor, which consumes some of its computing power. Current offerings include: 4th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.

16GB (small), 32GB (medium), and 64GB (large).

Workload testing and application development using CPUs, GPUs, and memory in the Intel ecosystem.
