That's very interesting. I guess it just can't compete with any of the Nvidia cards? I would think your results should show up if sorted by "generation"– maybe the leaderboard is cached...
Non-VRAM based options of the moment are only competitive when it comes to the size of a model they can run, since the alternative is "you can't run it at that price otherwise".
Bandwidth at a given size is king, only then followed by enough compute to utilize it.
We just put our ping pong scores on the whiteboard at AppHero, but I think Wattpad built an app that publishes their scores to their website for one of their Hack Fridays: http://www.wattpad.com/life
I haven't done a ton of work with 100tb.com, just a couple servers with them a few years back. It's great bandwidth. They're a SoftLayer reseller, so the nextwork blend is pretty good. I never got close to the 100tb cap, so am not sure if they'd impose some metering if you're doing it on a recurring basis. I feel like most of the people I've talked to about 100tb.com have gone in with the mentality that it's nearly unlimited, but end up using less than 1tb. If you aggregate across a ton of resold servers, I bet it's possible to make the model work pretty well.
Totally agreed. I tried to get that across in the interview for the article. It's pretty hard to say that the pay-for-ranking firms help users, and I think Apple's just taking a first stab at combatting them. I think there's a lot more they can do to improve the ranking algorithm in helping to combat these firms.
As a user and as a developer, I really hope these changes help move some of the blatant junk off the Top Lists.
We're looking for an iOS Developer and a Machine Learning Engineer to join our team at AppHero.
AppHero helps consumers discover the most relevant and engaging apps based on personalized recommendations. We learn about users' interests and preferences from Facebook and by detecting the apps installed on their device, then recommend apps they'll love.
We've raised capital from some of the top investors here in Toronto, but are still a small team (4) and can offer generous equity (along with competitive salary).
We're looking for an iOS developer excited about building native apps on iOS using Objective-C and the iPhone SDK.
We're looking for an engineer with experience with natural language processing to join our team and help enhance our recommendations.

That's a great idea. We're hosting with SoftLayer and have been considering doing something similar. They offer free bandwidth on the private network between data centers (and have pretty good pings between them). With a cloud server in each data center, you could achieve a similar thing while avoiding the need for VPN and not paying for extra bandwidth.
Happy to test larger models that utilize the memory capacity if helpful.
