We just set up a small cluster of our own. We’re not using infiniband but it didn’t seem like it would be a 50 week lead time to setting it up. Where did you get that number?
- latchkey 2y agoI hear a couple issues with your comment... "small cluster", "we're not using infinband" I'm only saying what was quoted to me. The cards are easy to get, it is the switches that are more difficult.
- teaearlgraycold 2y agoI saw plenty of used switches available. Are current gen switches necessary?

- teaearlgraycold 2y agoSounds reasonable. We’re in a very different situation. We bought a bunch of used hardware but our servers are for training models. All of our production stuff runs in AWS. We definitely don’t want downtime but a day where researchers have issues is very different than a day where your app is down and your reputation is tarnished.
