Tools: I’m quite happy with VS Code (or Codium, if you don’t like telemetry).It’s likely that fastai installation would then become a journey of pain, but that’s just my guess: I have no experience with that.

Preferable if you use windows as your daily driver OS. WSL2: that is, the windows subsystem for linux, a form a lightweight virtual machine with (quasi-)direct access to the hardware.On the other hand, a conda env on the bare metal is more straightforward (and in line with the official installation instructions). On one hand, docker would be a bit more preferable for a beginner, since it provides an additional layer of insulation against mistakes. In both cases you don’t need to worry about CUDA and cuDNN, for the standard fastai/fastbook installations will take automatically care of them. You can run fastai/pytorch in a docker NGC container or in a conda environment. Essentially, you have three (and half) options:.Amd consumer processors do support it ‘unofficially’ ECC ram can help in improving stability, but unfortunately isn’t always an option for consumer-grade cpus. But be sure to get at least twice you VRAM amount. Intel still has an edge over amd with libraries like MKL, and their processors have integrated graphics more often than their amd counterparts.Nvidia T400, ~100$) and snatch it into a vacant slot. Alternatively, buy a cheap discrete card (e.g. You can connect the monitor(s) to it, so that the main GPU will be left alone for computation, and you’ll not occupy VRAM, which is a valuable and scarce resource. It’s better to buy a cpu with integrated graphics.Just buy the best you can afford, with two caveats: If you already have a Nvidia GPU, 8gb are kind of a bare minimum, and architectures from Pascal onwards can make use of fp16 computations so to spare a lot of vram. If you don’t know what DirectML is, go for the Nvidia card and save yourself some headaches. In theory, an even better choice would be the AMD r圆600 XT, which comes with 16Gb for the same price, but that will force you to meddle with DirectML under WSL2 (see below). It’s reasonably fast and has a decent amount of VRAM. Now that the mining craze has finally come to an end, it can be had for 450$/eur. The RTX 3060 12Gb is a great choice for starters. The first thing you’ll need is of course a GPU. Please note that they represent just my personal opinion. I’ll start with my two cents, mainly aimed at beginners that are thinking about building their first machine. We can use it to share opinions, tips, advices, etc, about the matter, both on hardware- and on software-related aspects.
This thread is a bit different from “Setup Help” since it exclusively focus on a local setup, so it’s meant for people who prefer to run their own ML/DL/AI machine rather than a cloud solution.
