About Amazon EC2 P4 Instances
Amazon EC2 P4d instances deliver high performance for machine learning training and high-performance computing applications in the cloud. Powered by NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs, they offer industry-leading throughput and low-latency networking, supporting 400 Gbps instance networking. P4d instances provide up to 60% lower cost to train ML models, with an average of 2.5x better performance for deep learning models compared to previous-generation P3 and P3dn instances. Deployed in hyperscale clusters called Amazon EC2 UltraClusters, P4d instances combine high-performance computing, networking, and storage, enabling users to scale from a few to thousands of NVIDIA A100 GPUs based on project needs. Researchers, data scientists, and developers can utilize P4d instances to train ML models for use cases such as natural language processing, object detection and classification, and recommendation engines, as well as to run HPC applications like pharmaceutical discovery and more.
