Yep, the course is free, but you'll need to pay for the computing power one way or another.
If you have a workstation with a fairly recent Nvidia GPU (I used a GTX 980 TI) and bunch of spare disk space, you don't need AWS at all. You'll still pay for the electricity, of course, but it's not what I would call a significant extra cost. That is, if you already have the hardware.
- frik 10y agoWhat's the minimum nVidia GPU spec (VRAM) and SSD/HDD disc space (TB) required, from your perspective?
- dharma1 10y agoGet a GTX 1070 at a minimum. GTX 1080 Ti if you have a bit more cash to spend. Disk space is entirely dependent on your data set size. We're not talking huge numbers for most things you would be doing
- sai-prasanna 10y agoI have GTX 970 and how much spare space do we need? btw, I have a doubt, the course has specific video to setup aws, for local machines, what to do? should I install the required packages python, keras or whatever they use?
- metafunctor 10y agoThe install-gpu.sh script found in fastai's github can be used to set up the required environment on an Ubuntu box. A GTX 970 should do. The exercises are designed for GPUs with more memory, so you'll need to use smaller batch sizes here and there.
