Performance Notes

On Nebius, the NVIDIA L40S delivers strong performance for AI inference and training, with 91 TFLOPS FP32, 182 TFLOPS FP16, and up to 733 TFLOPS INT8. Expect efficient multi-GPU scaling via NVLink or InfiniBand interconnects (up to 400Gbps in clusters), supporting distributed training for models up to 100B parameters. NVMe storage options provide low-latency I/O for datasets. Known strengths: excellent for vLLM or TensorRT-LLM inference. Limitations: specific Nebius benchmarks are sparse; real-world throughput depends on workload optimization. Single-node L40S suits prototyping, while clusters excel in production—test with spot instances for validation.

Getting Started

Getting started with NVIDIA L40S on Nebius is straightforward via their console or Kubernetes API. Sign up for a compliant account, deploy managed GPU nodes, and access pre-built AI environments. Leverage per-second billing for quick experimentation.

Steps

  1. 1Create a Nebius account and enable billing for EU/US regions.
  2. 2Launch a Kubernetes cluster via console, selecting L40S GPU node pools.
  3. 3Configure node specs (e.g., 1-8 GPUs, NVMe storage) and deploy.
  4. 4Pull NGC containers (e.g., NVIDIA PyTorch) and SSH or kubectl into pods.
  5. 5Run workloads with nvidia-smi verification and scale as needed.

Pro Tips

  • Use spot instances for non-critical training to cut costs by up to 70% while testing L40S inference throughput.
  • Enable Nebius AI accelerators like autoscaling K8s for efficient multi-L40S training on large datasets.
  • Optimize with FP8/Transformer Engine for 1.5x faster LLM inference on 48GB VRAM.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nebius's billing model for NVIDIA L40S?▾

Nebius bills per-second for GPU instances including NVIDIA L40S. Per-second billing ensures you only pay for exactly the compute time you use, which is particularly cost-effective for short experiments, iterative development, and workloads with variable duration.

Does Nebius offer spot instances for NVIDIA L40S?▾

Yes, Nebius offers spot/preemptible instances for NVIDIA L40S, which can reduce costs by 50-80% compared to on-demand pricing. Spot instances are ideal for fault-tolerant workloads like batch inference, hyperparameter tuning, and training jobs with checkpointing. Note that spot instances can be interrupted when demand is high, so ensure your workflow can handle preemption gracefully.

Does Nebius offer reserved instances for NVIDIA L40S?▾

Yes, Nebius offers reserved instance pricing for NVIDIA L40S, which can provide significant discounts (typically 20-40% off on-demand rates) for committed usage periods. Reserved instances are ideal for predictable, long-running workloads like production inference services, ongoing training pipelines, or development environments that run continuously. Contact Nebius for current reserved pricing and commitment terms.
