FAQs

What kind of GPUs does SaladCloud have?

SaladCloud utilizes RTX/GTX class GPUs from Nvidia. The platform's GPU selection policy is strict, onboarding only AI-enabled, high-performance, compute-capable GPUs.
How does security work on SaladCloud?

SaladCloud employs multiple layers of security, encrypting containers in transit and at rest. Containers run in isolated environments to keep data secure.
What are some unique traits of SaladCloud?

SaladCloud is a compute-share network, resulting in longer cold start times and potential interruptions. The highest vRAM is 24 GB. Workloads requiring very low latency are not ideal.
Why do owners share GPUs with SaladCloud?

Owners earn rewards (Salad balance) for sharing their compute, which can be exchanged for games, gift cards, and more.
Do I pay for cold boot time?

You only pay for the time that the hardware is available to be used by your application, so you will never pay for cold boot/start time on SaladCloud.
