Enum AcceleratorType

Hardware accelerator categories available for EC2 instances.

Namespace: Amazon.CDK.AWS.EC2

Assembly: Amazon.CDK.Lib.dll

Syntax (csharp)

public enum AcceleratorType

Syntax (vb)

Public Enum AcceleratorType

Remarks

Defines the general type of hardware accelerator that can be attached to an instance, typically used in instance requirement specifications (e.g., GPUs for compute-intensive tasks, FPGAs for custom logic, or inference chips for ML workloads).
