Cloud GPU for GPU simulation
Start with the solver’s supported hardware and numerical precision. Compare rental prices only after the selected GPU and software configuration meet those requirements.

A100 Price comparison
Compare A100 only if its memory and software support meet your workload requirements. The table supplies the published capacity and current price; it does not claim this card runs your application faster.
H100 Price comparison
Compare H100 only if its memory and software support meet your workload requirements. The table supplies the published capacity and current price; it does not claim this card runs your application faster.
MI300X Price comparison
Compare MI300X only if its memory and software support meet your workload requirements. The table supplies the published capacity and current price; it does not claim this card runs your application faster.
Calculate compute cost per simulation run
Enter the output and runtime from your own workload estimate or measurement. No throughput is assumed. Choose hardware only after checking your application requirements.
Compute per simulation run = node hourly rate × runtime ÷ completed output. Updated rates 2026-10-11. Include startup, checkpoint and idle time in billed runtime. Storage, egress and other fees are additional.
Worth knowing
- A tensor FP16 peak is not a substitute for the solver’s required arithmetic precision.
- Record GPU and host RAM usage for a representative mesh or problem size.
- Check interconnect requirements before treating separate GPU instances as a multi-GPU solver node.
FAQ
No. These are published hardware and rental-price comparisons. Supply your own memory, runtime and latency requirements before choosing a configuration.
