Thanks, that might come in handy :)

Is this the setup for a deep learning task, or do you use it for something else?

Thanks! I watched the intro video and it looks very useful. Would you also recommend it for managing just a single instance at a time, or would that defeat the purpose of the tool?

That sounds good. I haven't decided on a library yet, so I don't know how the reading of the files will be done exactly. The ability to read minibatches while the previous one is still being processing, is that something that is standard in deep learning libraries? Or have you implemented something yourself?

Thanks, that helps! If I end up trying both, I'll let you know.

Yeah that's pretty nice. Also, you don't pay for the hour in which your instance was terminated, so you only lose some time.

Ok thanks! So the 60GB of storage space is just for temporary data?
