GPU and memory#

min_vram#

Minimum GPU memory per GPU, in GB. Machines with less are never chosen. This is the most important setting: set it from what your model actually needs, not from the largest GPU you know of.

gpu#

Pin a GPU model. Leave it out to let RunCompute choose; pinning usually costs more.

Model Memory Relative speed
L4 24 GB 0.35
RTX4090 24 GB 0.55
A6000 48 GB 0.50
A100 80 GB 1.00
H100 80 GB 1.60
H200 141 GB 1.90

Relative speed is throughput compared with one A100 and is used to turn work_units into hours.

gpu_count#

GPUs on one machine, 1 to 8. Hours are divided by the count; the hourly price is multiplied by it.

work_units#

How much compute the job needs, in A100-hours. If a run took 3 hours on one A100, use 3. If you only know the time on another GPU, multiply by that GPU's relative speed: 10 hours on an RTX 4090 is about 5.5.

The estimate only affects which machine is picked and the quote. Underestimating does not stop a job early; the budget does.
