Theoretically, you can rent many boxes on vast.ai, one at a time, just to measure Kangaroo speed on each. But it's probably not a good idea unless they already have CUDA installed, or you'll consume precious run hours installing that instead of just building Kangaroo.

I checked vast.ai rent page (https://vast.ai/console/create/) and found out it's possible to select OS image with CUDA version you want (ranging from 6.5 to 11.4). You also can add on-start script to install additional software immediately. So it should be practical option if OP wish to make benchmark list.

Thanks, that is an informative site. My intention was not to make a benchmark list. I wanted to know what for devices we can use for point addition and the related j/s.

Do you know, if there are already asics like these

not to mine coins but for point addition?
Not publicly available, or they would be steep in costs. There are some who are trying to modify old asics to to point addition.

Not sure what you are wanting then. All modern GPUs and CPUs can do point addition.

Hi, is there a list with devices/cards and related jumps/sec for Pollard's kangaroo (point addition)?
It sounded like you wanted a list of cards with their applicable speed for point addition.
Do some legwork, become informed.
