Except that I set up CUDA and Tensorflow in less than an hour. Admittedly, this is on Ubuntu (my colleagues don't like wild distro experiments), which may be easier.
I compile every Tensorflow version (to compile with march=native). It is usually uneventful and takes a couple of minutes of my time.
By the way, a Tesla card also costs > 5000 Euro and then add the cost of a machine with enough fast cores, memory, and disk space and you are north of 25000.

- p1esk 8y agoDid I miss it, or have you not compared GPU TF binary to GPU TF source? I thought that was the goal of your blog post as declared in the first paragraph...
