A month ago Nvidia had a grant program running to get rid of refurbished^w^w^w^w donate 1-4 Titan Vs based on a 1-2 page application [1]. When my university started offering a CUDA course we got ~15 top of the line GTX cards sponsored by Nvidia. Buying 100 GTX1080TI with 11GB with supporting hardware is in the range of 100 thousand Euro/USD (before applying education discounts and asking for sponsorships). Not money spent on a dime, but not outrageously expensive either (the article mentions OpenAI spending millions on cloud GPU resources, compared to that spending 100k on something you get to keep is nothing) [1] https://developer.nvidia.com/academic_gpu_seeding |
