GPU memory is expensive but a big as #@$% computer is even more expensive. When we show comparisons to things like spark we are doing so use cost basis. So if we say something like we are x times faster than this technology on this workload what we did was launch clusters that have similar costs. Total cost of ownership is also reduced by the fact that the engine itself is totally ephemeral. You can turn it off and on within seconds.
