GPU compute field notes
The details that change the cost of a GPU job, from the first model load to the last retained checkpoint.
Cost planning
What a GPU-hour actually costs
Calculate GPU job costs with rental time, idle capacity, storage and retries. Includes a worked example and a practical budget checklist.
3 min read Cost planningThe storage costs that outlive a GPU rental
Track persistent volumes, checkpoints, data transfers and cleanup after GPU jobs. Includes a storage ownership checklist for cloud projects.
3 min readInference
How much VRAM does your LLM need?
Estimate model weights, KV cache and runtime overhead before renting a GPU. Understand why parameter count alone is an incomplete memory budget.
3 min read InferenceBenchmark LLM inference before you rent at scale
A reproducible inference test covering prompt lengths, concurrency, first-token latency, throughput and successful request cost.
3 min read InferenceWhere serverless GPU cold-start time goes
Break cold starts into allocation, image loading, model loading and warm-up. Choose a practical balance between idle cost and response latency.
3 min readTraining
Make a GPU training job survive an interruption
Plan durable checkpoints, resume tests and retry-safe outputs for interrupted GPU training jobs, with a concrete recovery drill.
3 min read TrainingBudget a LoRA fine-tuning experiment
Plan a LoRA experiment around data quality, sequence length, evaluation and recovery instead of buying GPU capacity from parameter count alone.

How to evaluate a GPU operator before a long rental
Inspect GPU identity, sustained performance, recovery, support and delivery terms before trusting an operator with a long-running workload.
3 min read OperationsSet a useful reliability target for GPU inference
Define inference reliability using successful requests, latency and recovery. Turn application requirements into an operator evaluation plan.
