Why is the even actually just ‘two weeks’ - as I hVe a bad feeling people might just fold due to the ‘competition’; as sad as that is. 
 

I truely hope that we will continue to fold in the numbers we are doing now!

The nature of the event makes it fun to participate for a finite period. However, this level of 24/7 electrical consumption (>38.4 kW a day for folding computers) is not economically sustainable for me. I'll consider keeping the 2080 Super folding during idle.

Guess I'll just stop at 420 WU.

I mean, with your setup, that might even happen before the end of the event...

My cloud setup will last me less than a week. Free credits ain't much unfortunately. Google Cloud (2x P100 GPU) chunks through 300 $ free budget in 5 days lol. Wanetd to try out some serious cloud servers to freshen up on Linux command line and maybe learn how painful/ painless those services are to work with.

Enterprise servers ain't cheap to rent^^ 300 $ free sounds like a lot but it's not as soon as you go ham on hardware needs.

Running certain cloud configs hard gets extremely expensive fast. I'm curious to see their itemized billing to learn why it would be so much, but cloud stuff can be cheaper or lots more expensive depending on options and usage of them.

Why do this on the Cloud?

Yep, it's the GPUs, licencing and power that runs up the costs of folding servers to $$$$ a month.


Same server being used as... say a web server might only cost $$ a month.

You can look into preemptible instance on Google cloud. They are  regularly stopped to free ressources but 1/3 of the price of standard instances. 

That the equivalent of the spot instances from AWS (I personally prefer aws system but gcloud is also nice)

Yep. GPUs would do it.  AFAIK there's no way to slice and dice a GPU like a CPU so if you want one, you get ALL of one at the full sticker price associated with that. Add in the generally higher wattage you pay power for and there's your large bill.

Also, licensing?  Windows licensing or...? That can do it too depending on the license as well.

Because you can get some free usage, and it teaches you to use these cloud systems at the same time.

Yeah I think this event will "cost" about 800/900$ equivalent on my side.

(It's mostly idle ressources that are not needed / can be delayed for our projects and a Google free credit because... Why not)

g4dn.xlarge spot instances are the cheapest bang for your buck. Currently running 60 of them.

Lots of reason, in my firm we have a mix of in house gpu servers and cloud services (ibm, azure, aws, gcloud)

The main reasons for us to go cloud is the variable needs, maintenance cost when, initial investment and depreciation (we consider that an equipment need to be changed  when warranty runs out....)
