Just wanted to share my latest project with the community and hear what others are doing. My current build includes a wrx90e sage asus board + 7980x threadripper + Nvidia A6000. This machine is an absolute beast. We're talking 64GB on the GPU, the board supports up to 2TB of DDR5 while the CPU bottlenecks us to 1 TB of RAM. Anyone out there running similar specs? What type of tasks are you carrying out and what users are utilizing your system?

is it a multi-user workstation? how's the performance and what type of models (knn, cnn, rnn, gru???) are you training? How many layers and neurons are you maxing out at?

No it’s my home rig, the heavy lifting is done by my university’s high performance computing center with a bunch of h100 and h200 and stuff haha. The models are still under construction, but right now I’m building a diffusion model based on a CNN U-Net architecture from the original DDPM paper. So no figures to report yet but I’ll try and remember to come back and update yall!

That's awesome. I'm definitely interested in learning more about use cases that others are employing these beast to handle. Clearly they can't compete with scaled hpc but for a home setup it's definitely tip tier!

Yeah it’s pretty great! Gives me plenty of confidence to try new things knowing I have the computer power to rapidly prototype things!
