FAQs

What types of GPUs are available on SaladCloud?
All GPUs are Nvidia RTX or GTX series, selected for high-performance AI computing capabilities. Only top-tier, AI-enabled GPUs are onboarded.
How is security maintained on SaladCloud?
We encrypt containers during transit and at rest. Containers run in isolated environments, ensuring data security and consistent compute environments across nodes.
What are the key features of SaladCloud?
SaladCloud operates as a compute-sharing network with longer cold start times and potential interruptions. Max VRAM is 24 GB, making it unsuitable for extremely low-latency tasks.
What is Salad Container Engine (SCE)?
SCE simplifies deploying workloads via Docker containers. Containerize your models, select hardware, and let SaladCloud handle orchestration and deployment.
How does SaladCloud ensure workload availability?
SaladCloud uses performance ratings and proprietary tests to select optimal GPUs. When a GPU goes offline, workloads are automatically reallocated to similar resources.
Why do owners share their GPUs with SaladCloud?
Owners earn rewards, such as Salad tokens, by sharing idle compute resources. Many earn $30 to $200 monthly, which they can redeem for various rewards.
What if someone tries to access my container?
Our security systems detect unauthorized access attempts. If detected, we automatically terminate the environment and blacklist the host machine.
How do I know if a GPU is reliable and online?
We use a trust rating system to evaluate GPU performance and availability. The platform automatically reallocates workloads when resources go offline.
Do I pay for cold start or initialization times?
No, you are only billed for actual usage once your container is active. Cold start times are free of charge.
Are volume discounts available?
Yes, discounts are available for deployments of 50 or more GPU instances. Contact us through the demo form for customized pricing.
