hans asked:
Wikipedia says that Tesla M60 has 2×8 GB RAM (whatever it means) and TDP 225–300.
I use an EC2 instance g3s.xlarge which is supposed to have a Tesla M60. But nvidia-smi command says it has 8GB ram and max power limit 150W:
> sudo nvidia-smi

What does it mean? Do I get a ‘half’ of the card? Is Tesla M60 actually two cards sticked together as the ram specification (2×8) suggest?
My answer:
Yes, the Tesla M60 is two GPUs ‘sticked’ together, and each g3s.xlarge or g3.4xlarge instance gets one of the two GPUs.
