My Experience and Advice for Using GPUs in Deep Learning: Which GPU to get

Re:My Experience and Advice for Using GPUs in Deep Learning:... by fermienrico on Tuesday August 21, 2018 @04:11PM (#17813300)

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.

Thanks for being receptive. I wouldn’t call it a “good point” if it was a mistake that was corrected.

Do you mean "Figure 3: Normalized performance/cost numbers"?

Its performance/cost and not cost/performance.

Or maybe the author fixed a typo?

I think it used to be cost/performance and was later fixed. GP left comment before the fix.

You're missing the principle of charity.
