✔ Use Cases for Linode GPU Instances
Use Cases for Linode GPU Instances
GPUs (Graphical Processing Units) are specialized hardware originally created to manipulate computer graphics and image processing. GPUs are designed to process large blocks of data in parallel making them excellent for compute intensive tasks that require thousands of simultaneous threads. Because a GPU has significantly more logical cores than a standard CPU, it can perform computations that process large amounts of data in parallel, more efficiently. This means GPUs accelerate the large calculations that are required by big data, video encoding, AI, and machine learning.

✔ How to Choose a Data Center
How determine which Linode data centers is right for you.
Deploying your Linode to a geographically advantageous data center can make a big difference in connection speeds to your server. Ideally, your site or application should be served from multiple points around the world, with requests sent to the appropriate region based on client geolocation. On a smaller scale, deploying a Linode in the data center nearest to you will make it easier to work with than one in a different region or continent.

✔ How to Use Block Storage with Your Linode
This tutorial explains how to use Linode's block storage service.
Linode’s Block Storage service allows you to attach additional storage Volumes to your Linode. A single Volume can range from 10 GiB to 10,000 GiB in size and costs $0.10/GiB per month. They can be partitioned however you like and can accommodate any filesystem type you choose. Up to eight Volumes can be attached to a single Linode, be it new or already existing, so you do not need to recreate your server to add a Block Storage Volume.

✔ Create an Account for a Developer to Work on Your Linode
Shows how to create an account with access restrictions for developers and maintainers.
One of the most powerful features of Linode's unmanaged service is the amount of control Linode users have over their account and the software installed on their systems. If you're a business owner that does not have expertise with installing or maintaining software on Linux, or if you do have experience with Linux but don't have the time to set up a new server, then contracting with a developer or administrator is a popular way to get your services up and running.

✔ Boot a Linode from a Block Storage Volume
This guide shows how to boot a Linode from a Block Storage Volume.
Linode’s Block Storage service allows you to attach additional storage volumes to your Linode. In addition to storing files and media, you can also use a Block Storage Volume as a boot disk. This can provide a low-cost way to maintain an image that can be quickly attached to a new Linode and booted up when needed.
