I’d like to prevent building a completely new server just to run a gpu for AI workloads. Currently, everything is running on my laptop, except it’s dated cpu only really works well for smaller models.
Now I have an nvidia m40, could I possibly get it to work using thunderbolt and an enclosure or something? note: it’s on linux
There are external GPU cases that might work with your laptop, but at least on older models these were relatively bandwidth limited which doesn’t matter that much for gaming, but I guess it might cause more problems with AI workloads? On the other hand, maybe not if the model fits completely into the vRAM of the m40?
