Coretype Collections for Improved Workload Cost-Performance

Overview

Coretype Collections are curated groups of compatible coretypes that appear as new hardware options during job setup, designed to deliver equal or better performance at the same or lower cost compared to selecting a single coretype on its own.

Highlights

  • What is it?
    • Coretype Collections are curated coretype groupings that appear as new “Plus” options (for example, Elm Plus) Coretype Collections have equivalent performance as the main coretype (for example, Elm) or better performance. 
    • Coretype Collections lock in the number of cores and nodes selected for a job. Memory, storage, and networking configurations can increase in size or speed at no additional cost. For more detailed information, check out our product documentation
    • Price is set upfront when selecting the Coretype Collection for your job and will not change based on the actual compute infrastructure used for the job.
    • Coretype Collections only run on ODP. Four are out today and more will be added in the coming months.
  • Why did we build it? We are always looking for ways to help our customers reduce compute infrastructure costs or increase performance. By introducing Collections of coretypes that are as performant or better at the same or lower cost we are able to provide our customers with easier choices.
  • How is it used? When configuring a job, users select a Coretype Collection option (Coretypes with the name “Plus”) in the Hardware setup step. 
Coretype Collections

Getting Started

  • When creating a job, go to the Hardware step. Coretype Collections will appear as a section in the hardware list, distinguished by “Plus” in their name (for example, Elm Plus instead of Elm).
  • Users can inspect the underlying coretypes in the Collection for more detail.
  • If a user selects an individual coretype that belongs to a Collection, the UI surfaces a non‑intrusive suggestion to switch to the corresponding Collection, highlighting expected cost and potential performance benefits.
