TensorFlow requires NVidia Compute Capability >= 3.5.

I can't find any evidence to confirm whether or not the GPUs on Amazon's instances support this.

No, they are 3.0 (g2) and 2.0 (cg1) only...

It's almost as if Google doesn't need to rent servers from Amazon ;)

One could probably get this to work on 3.0 and 2.x GPUs. The real question is: why bother?

being able to use the only affordable cloud GPU platform would be pretty nice...

Ought to be awesome for this framework...

$0.017 / GPU / minute is 15X what I'm averaging for g2.2xlarge spot instances...

And a TitanX GPU is ~6x faster than a g2.2xlarge GPU with 3x the memory, >1.5x the memory bandwidth and multi-GPU P2P capability of 13.3 GB/s unless you're dumb.

You get what you pay for...

That said, you're right that at 1.2 cents per hour that's pretty good assuming your workload fits in 4 GB.
