GPU based algorithm on AWS Lambda

Currently lambda doesn't have GPU.

However, if you just need to do inference; the emulation via CPU works fine on AWS lambda; here is an article that goes into more details:

You can't specify the runtime environment for AWS Lambda functions, so no, you can't require the presence of a GPU (in fact the physical machines AWS chooses to put into its Lambda pool will almost certainly not have one).

Your best bet would be to run the GPU-requiring function as a Batch job on a compute cluster configured to use p-type instances. The guide here might be helpful.
