- johanneskanybal 11y agoI don't think you understand what this library is for. You can pick up a graphic card for $100 and voila now you got 1000's of cores. To your defense the comment you answered seems to have mixed a few random things together too.
- varelse 11y agoTensorFlow is currently a single-server solution pthreads app. But assuming you're serious and not dabbling, you can build a ~27 TFLOP server for <$7K in parts or buy it assembled for ~$9K. http://exxactcorp.com/index.php/solution/solu_detail/225 http://exxactcorp.com/index.php/solution/solu_detail/225 Or if you just hate the thought of money burning a hole in your pocket, pay NVIDIA >$15K for the same thing with a pretty NVIDIA logo: https://developer.nvidia.com/devbox https://developer.nvidia.com/devbox If you're dabbling, just go buy a $1000 TitanX and you're instantly a minor deep learning superpower.
