RAM-to-GPU is always faster than SSD-to-GPU. It is a solution to help a situation when data size does not fit RAM size (or when user has less budget to purchase enough RAM. In fact, we can purchase Intel SSD 750 (400GB) with 300USD).
- Eridrus 10y agoFor the scenario you're targeting: databases, this makes a tonne of sense, database data regularly exceeds the size of RAM and the operations you want to do on the data are pretty static in the sense that they're the SQL operators. In deep learning you are usually doing a lot more custom processing and your datasets are usually not as big, such that just buying more RAM is often cost effective.
