But some deep learning tasks can easily take 4 or 5 days in a humble setup with a GPU or 2. Therefore it might be advisable to run ECC?

- Alupis 11y agoYes, you are correct. I would use ECC in that situation if it were my system. The point I was making about the reference Nvidia setup was that it's targeted at development, which means starting and stopping the system often, etc. So ECC wouldn't be of much use in that sense, and it would only serve to make Nvidia's reference system more expensive. I don't think it's a sign they don't believe it should be used.
- raverbashing 11y agoYour GPU doesn't have ECC so the point is moot Yes, there is a risk, but maybe not enough to jeopardize the test.
- tlarkworthy 11y agoNNs are adaptive so they should be able to tolerate the odd flip in the weight matrices during training.
