Build a deep-learning workstation
Build a deep-learning workstation
Motivation:
not rely on any lab’s computing resource, learn & experiment with public deep learning repos. I can’t replicate the results on my XPS 15 RTX 3050TI 4GB GPU, which forces me to look at other resources. Looking at the pricing and setup needed to work with cloud computing, I found better returns by building my own deep-learning workstation. Trying and replicating the results of these repos are absolutely important for learning and creativity. Crazy GPU Speed isn’t my focus at the moment, but large GPU mem is the key. 3060 seems to be the most price efficient one in the market at this point.

I used the free account that fulfills my personal usage and need. Works perfectly at the moment. There can be other cleaner approaches, but I haven’t find such one. Please send me a message if you found one.
