It's hard to tell what you're asking for. There is no getting around the amount of computation required, and there are already plenty of systems to distribute workload the old fashioned way. In addition, while many projects rely on clusters of GPUs, a great deal of cutting edge research can be done on one or two decent commercial grade GPUs. A single new NVIDIA 1070 (and even better, the coming 1080 Ti) is cheap ($400) and is comparable to many good supercomputers in 2000, for example. An AWS with a K80 is only about 30 cents an hour at spot prices... after a week of training you could have yourself a state of the art result that wasn't even possible a mere few years ago. Not too shabby! Things have never been cheaper.
