Hi
Please forgive me if I don't know what I am taking about but is this
something that you could do with a Raspberry Pi cluster please?
No such thing as stupid questions my friend! In short yes, but only if
you want your results returned in months rather than minutes - at least
for the type of ML/AI stuff we're talking about here. A single bog
standard budget gamer £300 GPU would absolutely destroy as many RPis
clustered together that you could get your hands on for any workload
you'd care to run on it.
I have a Kubernetes cluster here consisting mainly of RPis but it's the
sort of thing you build for fun and learning - even distributed compile
jobs of native ARM packages run like a dog on it.
Generally speaking, there is no lower bound for entry into fun stuff
like ML or clustering - just use whatever crap you've got to hand for a
first go and it'll probably work, just not "seriously".
If you want to do things even vaguely "properly" for "real" workloads,
then get out your chequebook. Low end ML systems clock in at many
thousands of pounds to even get started. We live in times where your
average teenage reddit-denizen gamer has a ~£1k RTX GPU just for playing
Fortnite or whatever...
