As expected, training MultiNeRF on my laptop (specs below) takes ages. After an hour, I still hadn't made it past the first checkpoint with the default configuration. I'd like to train on more capable hardware, like some beefy AWS instance. What do you recommend?

For our papers we trained on Google TPUs (v2), but a desktop with a 3090 should be fine. I would not expect any laptop to be able to train well.

Thanks.
