This thread (https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,41423) got me thinking about costs of local vs. cloud compute. I would assume that a new local machine (including electricity) running 24/7 on WCG would be cheaper than a pre-emptible cloud compute instance on a cost per WCG daily output basis within the first couple of years.
----------------------------------------So do folks have the following figures that we could use to compile some comparisons?

For the machines that I purchase I look at power consumption and points per day.
Here is some info on points per CPU model https://www.boincstats.com/stats/15/host/breakdown/cpu/0/6/0 |

At GCP, a pre-emptive 8 vCPUs N2D instance with 4 GB RAM (AMD Epyc Rome) costs around €1.12 a day. Including a 0.40 cents USD fee for the 10 GB disk, that's around €34 a month.
----------------------------------------These N2D instances seem to hold well in a pre-emptive state- I have one running for 2 days now and it never shutdown other than at the 24 hour mark. The N1's I used to run with the free credit shut down far more often though they still ran for around 85% of the time (IIRC). My Ryzen 5 1400 (4C/8T) only runs 12 hours a day at most, but would cost around €3 in electricity every month, 10 cents a day, if it ran 24 hours a day. The cost will increase once I switch to another plan in my provider since the current plan (50% discount on the entire bill) was because of COVID back in July, so if the Ryzen ran 24 hours a day, it would cost around €5.5 once I switch to the new plan. 1 year running my Ryzen 1400 is €5.5*12 = €66 1 year running the GCP instance is €34*12 = €408 My Ryzen must have cost around €300 total. I bought the PSU, CPU, GPU, MB, 2X8GB RAM and SSD, but only the SSD and PSU were bought as new and I already had the case. The Ryzen is currently running 5 MCM + 3 Rosetta@home. The GCP instance which I will shut tomorrow anyway, is only running Rosetta@home. So no info on WCG points. Local: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 3.2 Ghz 4C/8T, Host Info €300 €0.10 a day, €3 a month (soon it will be €5.5 per month) No info on WCG points per day Cloud: Google Cloud Platform, Host Info Pre-emptible €1.12 a day, €34 a month, doesn't include network cost which I think is low but have no info on. No info on WCG points per day AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 2 times, last edit by Falconet at Dec 14, 2020 11:51:28 PM] |
