GPU-Accelerated Cloud Images
GPU-accelerated cloud images from NVIDIA® enable researchers, data scientists, and developers to harness the power of GPU computing in the cloud and on-demand. With preconfigured virtual images and containers loaded with drivers, the NVIDIA CUDA® Toolkit and deep learning software, data scientists and developers can get started accelerating their applications in minutes.
To get started, choose from the preconfigured GPU cloud images below or sign-up for NVIDIA GPU CLOUD to get access to NVIDIA optimized deep learning framework containers including NVCaffe, Caffe2, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK), Digits, MXNet, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Theano, and Torch.
NVIDIA DIGITS 6 AMI
NVIDIA maintained Amazon Machine Image (AMI) with NVIDIA® DIGITS™ on Ubuntu operating system.
DIGITS puts the power of deep learning in the hands of data scientists and researchers. It simplifies common deep learning tasks such as managing data, designing and training neural networks, monitoring performance and choosing the best model.
Using DIGITS data scientists can rapidly design the best deep neural network (DNN) for image classification, segmentation and object detection tasks. Visit the DIGITS product page to learn more.
