If you need access to GPU cycles, it just got a little easier to have access today. Google Cloud Platform (GCP), now has K80 GPUs in production as well as P100 GPUs moving into beta access modes. The P100 is NVIDIA's newest GPU and as Google puts it, can be up to 10X faster than K80. Not only that you can get access to four P100 boards on a single system. Wish we had pictures of all this hardware. There are two service centers in the US, one in Europe, and one is Asia currently. These GPUs can be used in a per-minute billing scenario. If anyone gets quoted prices on services, please let us know. I am just curious


Fast performance: Cloud GPUs are offered in passthrough mode to provide bare-metal performance. Attach up to 4 P100 or 8 K80 per VM (we offer up to 4 K80 boards, that come with 2 GPUs per board). For those looking for higher disk performance, optionally attach up to 3TB of Local SSD to any GPU VM.
 
Pricing is on the bottom of the page https://cloud.google.com/gpu/ :

V100 are premium-ly priced and not yet produced in volume.
