I have to deliver my innovative solutions (and they are) in the next four years, hopefully. So much for the context. This means that I cannot settle for just one computer to train the algorithms. So I turn to cluster computing and the joys that go with (TensorFlow parallel, MPI) so my CPUs necessarily Ryzen 5, SDD and HDD with good capacity between 8 to 16 GB of RAM for the nodes and a day after day I dither between GTX 1660 super and simple RTX 2060, knowing that what I save with GTX, this potentially allows me a "free" node, dilemma, dilemma
