How to set up an Amazon EC2 GPU instance

Create an instance

Use p2.xlarge instance type and ami-e00a8180 AMI image. Details

Open ports 22 (ssh) and 80 (http) on your freshly created instance, then create a security group and attach it to your instance to get the ports open.

Launch notebook

The instance you have created contains all you need: fresh versions of theano, lasagne, CUDA driver and cuDNN, just launch Jupyter and get your hands dirty:

$ sudo su
$ export THEANO_FLAGS='cuda.root=/usr/local/cuda,device=gpu,floatX=float32'
$ export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
$ jupyter notebook
