UK Provider Peer 1 offers Free GPU Cloud Access

If you’ve wanted to try some heavy-ended GPU compute, but haven’t had the time or money to build your own superpowered cluster, PEER 1 is here with an interesting offering.  They’re expanding their traditional datacenter and virtualized hosting servies to include GPU cloud support, and for a limited time they are offering free access for folks to try it out.

PEER 1 Hosting in the UK has launched a supercomputing cloud service based on the Nvidia Tesla S1070 and M2050 GPU computing systems. We’re talking serious computing power here; the S1070 is a 1U rack mount that contains 960 processor cores and four teraflops of computing power.
