Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3995WX Spotted
I feel like 64 cores is getting rather close to a tipping point: What workloads are so massively parallel that they <i>can</i> use 64 cores of x86 but <i>can’t</i> use the thousands of CUDA cores on a Quadro card? I’m sure right now there are workloads that just need particular x86 instructions, but that feels like a temporary problem.<p>Am I wrong about that being a temporary problem (that would feel frustrating)? Are these cores just that much faster than CUDA cores? What else am I missing here?<p>I often hear people talk about getting CPUs like this for deep learning research, but all the deep learning work I’ve done goes straight to CUDA and lands on my GPU.
