They seem to offer a cheaper 8 GB model too but unfortunately I see no price for it. I'm curious how much it'll be because, as much as I'd like to toy around with this, the $699 is a little to much for just experimentation.
EDIT:
The 8GB Module seems to be $679 here[1]. This makes the $699 or the 32 GB Developer Kit seem like a steal. Still, too expensive for play, I guess I'll stick with my Jetson Nanos for a while...

- fluffything 7y agoThere is also the Jetson Nanokit which costs ~120 EUR.
- potiuper 7y agoMaxwell does not have unified memory -> custom code compared to latest generation along with performance disadvantages.
- fluffything 7y agoUnified memory is useful during development when porting the application, but I don't know of any well-tuned applications that use it.
- potiuper 7y agoAny "well-tuned" multi-threaded application requires unified memory for simultaneous access to managed memory from the CPU and GPUs as it is not possible with compute capability lower than 6.0. This is because pre-Pascal GPUs lack hardware page faulting, so coherence can’t be guaranteed. On these GPUs, an access from the CPU while a kernel is running will cause a segmentation fault.

- neuromancer2701 7y agoI thought I saw the 8GB module for 459$ but it is only the SOM so you have to purchase a carrier board as well so the 32GB Developer Kit seems the way to go. https://www.arrow.com/en/products/900-83668-0000-000/nvidia https://www.arrow.com/en/products/900-83668-0000-000/nvidia
