Calling all developers on nostr!
I have some money that I need to spend by the end of the school year. My PI said that I could buy any deep learning workstation under $5000. Our lab specializes in neuroimaging. I was wondering whether folks had any recommendations for companies doing custom builds or for mass market options (eg Lenovo, HP).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Deep learning == gpu intensive. $5k ain’t gonna get you much. Is the workload relatively light? If not it may not be worth the purchase.
I need to spend $5000 by June 15th. It’s part of a slush fund that we get every year. It goes back to the government if we don’t spend it. It would be an opportunity to get a really nice desktop that could do some light machine learning too. We have access to a cluster for the big stuff.
However, the lab I’m joining prefers Apple, so I ended up just getting a Mac Studio with the highest specs. A Mac Pro wasn’t an option since they start at $7000.
