Here are some new (April 2019) Amazon EC2 benchmarks of Jesolver build 1038 (AVX2). Prices are on-demand prices. Instance type Price/hour Time Solution cost (CAP3sizes) m5.4xlarge $0.2777 665s $0.0513 c5.4xlarge $0.287 547s $0.0436 c5.4xlarge (win) $1.416 589s $0.2317 c5.18xlarge $1.1659 146s $0.0473 m5.24xlarge $1.6323 124s $0.0559 m5.metal $1.0882 120s $0.0363 m5.metal (win) $9.024 181s $0.4537 m5a.4xlarge $0.2721 808s $0.0611 m5a.24xlarge $1.6323 245s $0.1111 Observations - m5.metal seems to be the best choice at the moment - m5.24xlarge is almost as fast as m5.metal so the cost of virtualization is low - cpu utilization was very close to 100% in all cases - intel cpus are faster than amd (zen1; ec2 doesn't have zen2 yet) - windows is not recommended Raw data m5.4xlarge / ubuntu 18.04 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8175M CPU @ 2.50GHz Script | Compression | Progress | Iter | Time | RAM | Exploitability 3betpotFAST | none | .... | 100 | 12s | 662 MB | 0.341 (0.19%) CAP3sizes | none | ........... | 275 | 665s | 14364 MB | 0.112 (0.25%) c5.4xlarge / ubuntu 18.04 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8124M CPU @ 3.00GHz Script | Compression | Progress | Iter | Time | RAM | Exploitability 3betpotFAST | none | .... | 100 | 10s | 661 MB | 0.341 (0.19%) CAP3sizes | none | ........... | 275 | 547s | 14363 MB | 0.112 (0.25%) c5.4xlarge / windows server 2019 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8124M CPU @ 3.00GHz Script | Compression | Progress | Iter | Time | RAM | Exploitability 3betpotFAST | none | .... | 100 | 11s | 670 MB | 0.341 (0.19%) CAP3sizes | none | ........... | 275 | 589s | 14363 MB | 0.112 (0.25%) c5.18xlarge / ubuntu 18.04 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8124M CPU @ 3.00GHz Script | Compression | Progress | Iter | Time | RAM | Exploitability 3betpotFAST | none | .... | 100 | 3s | 682 MB | 0.341 (0.19%) CAP3sizes | none | ........... | 275 | 146s | 14390 MB | 0.112 (0.25%) m5.24xlarge / ubuntu 18.04 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8175M CPU @ 2.50GHz Script | Compression | Progress | Iter | Time | RAM | Exploitability 3betpotFAST | none | .... | 100 | 3s | 690 MB | 0.341 (0.19%) CAP3sizes | none | ........... | 275 | 124s | 14400 MB | 0.112 (0.25%) m5.metal / ubuntu 18.04 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8175M CPU @ 2.50GHz Script | Compression | Progress | Iter | Time | RAM | Exploitability 3betpotFAST | none | .... | 100 | 3s | 690 MB | 0.341 (0.19%) CAP3sizes | none | ........... | 275 | 120s | 14400 MB | 0.112 (0.25%) m5.metal / windows server 2019 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8175M CPU @ 2.50GHz Script | Compression | Progress | Iter | Time | RAM | Exploitability 3betpotFAST | none | .... | 100 | 4s | 698 MB | 0.341 (0.19%) CAP3sizes | none | ........... | 275 | 181s | 14399 MB | 0.112 (0.25%) m5a.4xlarge / ubuntu 18.04 AMD EPYC 7571 Script | Compression | Progress | Iter | Time | RAM | Exploitability 3betpotFAST | none | .... | 100 | 14s | 662 MB | 0.343 (0.19%) CAP3sizes | none | ........... | 275 | 808s | 14364 MB | 0.112 (0.25%) m5a.24xlarge / ubuntu 18.04 AMD EPYC 7571 Script | Compression | Progress | Iter | Time | RAM | Exploitability 3betpotFAST | none | .... | 100 | 6s | 690 MB | 0.343 (0.19%) CAP3sizes | none | ........... | 275 | 245s | 14400 MB | 0.112 (0.25%) local / ubuntu 18.04 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7800X @ 4.30GHz Script | Compression | Progress | Iter | Time | RAM | Exploitability 3betpotFAST | none | .... | 100 | 10s | 661 MB | 0.341 (0.19%) CAP3sizes | none | ........... | 275 | 567s | 14362 MB | 0.112 (0.25%) local / windows 10 pro Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7800X @ 4.30GHz Script | Compression | Progress | Iter | Time | RAM | Exploitability 3betpotFAST | none | .... | 100 | 11s | 669 MB | 0.341 (0.19%) CAP3sizes | none | ........... | 275 | 600s | 14361 MB | 0.112 (0.25%)
