<p>I have an average laptop. </p>

<p>How can I connect specialized AI neural network processors (say, Intel Nvidia or Intel Nervana <a href="https://venturebeat.com/2018/05/23/intel-unveils-nervana-neural-net-l-1000-for-accelerated-ai-training/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://venturebeat.com/2018/05/23/intel-unveils-nervana-neural-net-l-1000-for-accelerated-ai-training/</a>) to thelaptop.
Should I buy some external motherboard or even server unit with NN processors inside or is there available more lightweight solution like external HDD?</p>

are you interested in training or inference?

I am interested in both training and inference, but I guess that initially could be good to set up at least one process. I guess, that training is the resource consuming process for which the processors are designed, inference can be done with the ordinary processor.

You will have to think hard in order to make a good and cost effective one.

But there are a few people who have made one of their own and shared their experiences.
