RTX 4090 on Salad

Visit Salad

Salad delivers the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, featuring 24GB GDDR6X VRAM on the Ada Lovelace architecture, tailored for demanding AI and ML workloads like fine-tuning large language models and high-throughput inference. As a decentralized cloud platform harnessing consumer GPUs from a residential node network, Salad stands out for providing enterprise-grade RTX 4090 access at the lowest market prices via per-second billing and spot instances. This combination is noteworthy for its disruption of traditional cloud economics, enabling massive batch jobs and fault-tolerant inference at fractions of datacenter costs. Ideal for ML engineers and data scientists at startups or research labs prioritizing cost over consistency, it offers key value propositions: unparalleled affordability (often under $0.50/hour), broad scalability through distributed nodes, and seamless integration for containerized workloads. However, users must design for potential node variability and preemptions inherent in decentralized infrastructure.

Why NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 on Salad?

Choose Salad for RTX 4090 when cost is paramount for consumer-grade GPU power. Salad's decentralized residential network unlocks the 4090's 24GB VRAM and 16,384 CUDA cores at rock-bottom prices—frequently 70-90% below enterprise providers—via spot instances and per-second billing. This complements the GPU's strengths in memory-intensive tasks like training 70B-parameter models or Stable Diffusion inference. Unique advantages include massive parallelism for batch jobs across thousands of nodes, fault-tolerance via workload distribution, and no vendor lock-in. It's perfect for non-real-time workloads where residential variability is manageable, offering datacenter performance without the premium.

Performance Notes

On Salad, RTX 4090 delivers near-native performance: ~70 TFLOPS FP16, excelling in single-GPU fine-tuning or inference with 24GB VRAM handling models up to 30B parameters comfortably. Network bandwidth varies (typically 100Mbps-1Gbps residential), suiting batch jobs but limiting real-time needs. Storage is ephemeral or S3-compatible; persistent volumes available but slower. Multi-GPU scaling possible via container orchestration, though node heterogeneity requires frameworks like Ray or Kubernetes for fault-tolerance—expect 80-95% efficiency on homogeneous pools. Known strengths: cost-per-FLOP leadership. Unknowns: exact inter-node latency and uptime SLAs, as decentralized nature introduces variability; benchmark your workload.
