Minimum RAM requirements? #2

Open Laurae2 opened 6 years ago

Laurae2 commented 6 years ago

What are the minimum RAM requirements for the benchmarks?

For instance, will it run (properly, without swapping) on a laptop with 32GB RAM?

Not sure what the minimum is, some of the datasets are fairly large. I wouldn't be running it on a laptop anyway as the GPUs are not very powerful.

GPUs on a laptop since NVIDIA 10xx series are as powerful as their desktop counterpart (minus an underclock easily fixable with overclock), and can be even cooler using undervolt.

The only difference is there is no 1080 Ti / 2080 / V100 in a laptop yet, but you can overclock a NVIDIA 1080 to 2 GHz (400 GHz higher than the reference desktop version) without issues on a laptop. Not as powerful as a V100 but it beats by very far most of the cloud / its previous generation desktop GPU offerings (Tesla M60, K80, 980 Ti, etc).

Airline probably won't fit in a laptop because of the 8GB GPU RAM current limit of 1080s.
