FAQs
-
What kind of GPUs does SaladCloud have?
SaladCloud utilizes RTX/GTX class GPUs from Nvidia. The platform's GPU selection policy is strict, onboarding only AI-enabled, high-performance, compute-capable GPUs. -
How does security work on SaladCloud?
SaladCloud employs multiple layers of security, encrypting containers in transit and at rest. Containers run in isolated environments to keep data secure. -
What are some unique traits of SaladCloud?
SaladCloud is a compute-share network, resulting in longer cold start times and potential interruptions. The highest vRAM is 24 GB. Workloads requiring very low latency are not ideal. -
Why do owners share GPUs with SaladCloud?
Owners earn rewards (Salad balance) for sharing their compute, which can be exchanged for games, gift cards, and more. -
Do I pay for cold boot time?
You only pay for the time that the hardware is available to be used by your application, so you will never pay for cold boot/start time on SaladCloud.
