GPUs in Europe

Glossary

Answer in brief

The 8 terms you meet when you read about GPUs in Europe, each in one sentence, with an entry that says what it changes for a buyer.

Terms

  • Region

    A region is a provider’s name for a place where it runs machines, which can mean one facility, several in a metro area, or only a continent.

  • EEA

    The EEA, the European Economic Area, is the EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and it is the area across which the GDPR applies.

  • Data residency

    Data residency is the place where your data is stored and processed, as stated or committed to by the provider.

  • Data sovereignty

    Data sovereignty is the question of whose law can reach your data, which depends on the provider and its owners as well as on where the data sits.

  • Data processing agreement

    A data processing agreement is the written contract between you and a provider that processes personal data on your behalf, setting what it may do with that data.

  • Sub-processor

    A sub-processor is another company your provider uses to process your data, such as a facility operator or a storage service.

  • Latency

    Latency is the delay between sending a request and starting to receive the answer, and the network share of it grows with the distance to the machine.

  • Per-second billing

    Per-second billing charges for the exact time a machine ran, to the second, at the hourly rate divided down.

Questions and answers

Runcrate is our editor’s choice for a GPU cloud in Europe: the place each GPU runs stated in its feed, billing by the second, and the best developer platform we know. Runcrate publishes this site.

Find the country a provider states for the GPU you want, then try to start one there. A European region that lists the card can still have none free.
