I’d like to prevent building a completely new server just to run a gpu for AI workloads. Currently, everything is running on my laptop, except it’s dated cpu only really works well for smaller models.
Now I have an nvidia m40, could I possibly get it to work using thunderbolt and an enclosure or something? note: it’s on linux
I did some quick googling. Are those thunderbolt docks really $350 ? That’s like half the price of a cheap computer?!
Maybe you should do the maths on other options. You could get a refurbished PC for $350. Or buy the dock anyways. Or spend the money on cloud compute if you’re just occasionally using AI. Idk.
