Where does $0.65 come from? He says he ran it for:
> I found that I was able to run the algorithm in about 10 hours on an AWS large GPU instance bringing it is at about $0.65 plus tax.
According to Amazon's AWS calculator running an on-demand GPU instance (they only offer one type) for 10 hours comes to $6.50. They're $0.65 PER HOUR. It didn't take one hour to do.
Even if he has a reserved instance it likely won't be $0.65 for 10 hrs since you still need to calculate out the cost of setting up the reservation ($200+/year).
The gpu spot instance price is 0.1201 for windows hosts. Linux hosts however are currently running $0.0641 an hour. Which makes $0.65 utterly believable.
