Plus the architecture improvements. Do we know how many cores per SM? They’ve decoupled int and FP execution units which could give larger increases for certain kernels (although FP heavy deep learning kernels aren’t likely to benefit as much, they will still get address calculation benefits).
I hadn't seen the whitepaper on Turing yet. Where did you see they decoupled them?
The "I have almost no money" recommendation should include Colab. https://medium.com/deep-learning-turkey/google-colab-free-gp... Somebody who has almost no money isn't going to be able to equip a desktop with a GTX 1050 Ti ($175), fast disk ($50), and RAM ($50) on an entry level cpu/motherboard/power supply/case/monitor/peripherals ($300) and pay for the electricity used during training. Colab can be accessed from a…
What are the rules about datasets I upload to this free service? Do Google now own them?

If you have the programming skills necessary to develop deep learning applications, it should be assumed that you can also easily get a well-paying job so this isn't really even relevant.
The cost/performance plot - shouldn't it be "Lower is better"? It says "Higher is better". Lower value would indicate lower cost per unit level of performance. It should be "Lower is better" or the plot needs to say "Performance/Cost". Am I missing something?
Thanks for your feedback! Someone mentioned this on twitter as well and I thought it was a good point so I implemented that change.
