GPUs in 2017?

[Robert Freitag]

Hello,

recently I've stumbled upon this article:

https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2016/11/announcing-GPUs-for-Google-Cloud-Platform.html

It states that in early 2017, GPUs will be available world wide on GCE. I'm really excited about 

it and would like to know if there is a time estimate on when in early 2017 it will be? :)

I've a long term project coming up and would like to use GPUs for rendering. If I'm using CPUs 

I'm tied to CPUs for the entire project duration so for project calculation purposes I'd like to know 

if there are any news on the GPU end and if there is a possibility to find out how much GPU time on GCE will cost? :)

Any info would be nice!

Thanks a lot!

-Robert

Hello Robert,

The GPU support for GCE instances is in Alpha phase. As such, access is provided to limited number of users. The estimated release date is end of Feb 2017, however, this date is not confirm and can get delay. Detailed documentation and pricing information will be posted on this link once the feature reach the beta phase. You can keep an eye on Google Cloud blog for further announcements.

I hope that helps.

Is there an updated ETA on these features?

There is no update from Faizan's previously posted information in this thread (note, the date mentioned there is still in the future).
