NOTE

Scaling Up GPUs Linearly

Starting with the dataset, determine the size of your model. Consider training time and budget when choosing a cloud instance. Benchmark the throughput of your software stack and scale it for multiple GPUs. Calculate the time and cost using the formula. Prioritize finding the minimum number of GPUs that fit your model and calculate the reasonable time. Avoid getting too many GPUs to prevent issues and delays in model training.
