Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)¶
How is Eugo so computationally fast?¶
A mix of distributed parallel compute, optimized software (more on this later), and cutting-edge hardware (GPU, SIMD, and AI accelerators). Basically, we squeeze every ounce of performance out of the hardware.
What's the difference between Eugo and Google Colab, AWS Sagemaker, AWS Glue, Azure ML, etc?¶
In most cases, a bicycle and a rocket will both get you from point A to point B, but one is going to get you there a lot faster. And in some cases, a bicycle won't get you there at all (like the moon). Same thing with Eugo: it’s faster, more powerful, and more flexible. There's no limit to what you can do with it (like running nuclear fusion simulations) that otherwise wouldn't be possible with these other tools. Additionally, there's no need to manage dependencies, worry about scaling (like picking the right sized instance or setting up a cluster), or running out of memory (OOM errors). Eugo just works, so all you have to do is write code.
Does it actually work?¶
Yep, it does. We’ve spent years perfecting the foundation, and we even use Eugo to build Eugo. As someone close to the founders put it: “the feature is the scale.”
Will it work for my data and my use case?¶
Almost certainly. We provide hundreds of highly optimized libraries in C, C++, Rust, and Python, all out-of-the-box, and more are coming every day. Don’t see what you need? You can bring your own version or ask us to incorporate one (we charge a fee).
Who needs this?¶
Anyone tired of waiting for code to run and building things that don’t "make your beer taste better." If you’ve got a lot of data or run computationally intensive workloads, Eugo can make it faster.
Are you just a thin wrapper around Ray, Spark, OpenMP, or CUDA?¶
We use these libraries for distributed computing, but they’re just one piece of the puzzle. Plus, you can use any of these libraries together on the same cluster at the same time.
Do you do professional services (proserv)?¶
Yes, we do. We can help you with everything from setting up your first cluster to optimizing your code. Simple tasks like setting up a cluster are free, but we charge for more complex tasks, like writing bespoke code, or migrating your existing workloads to Eugo.
Can you use Eugo on other cloud providers besides AWS?¶
It's possible, but it will require custom work. We're working on making it easier to use Eugo on other cloud providers.
Are you more energy efficient than traditional on-prem supercomputers?¶
Yes. Our clusters are serverless—they only exist when you need them (and you're only billed for what you use). And we’re built entirely on Arm (aarch64), giving us a major sustainability boost.
