We have covered a lot of options for training deep learning models in this chapter! We discussed options for running it locally and showed the importance of having a GPU card. We used the three main cloud providers to train deep learning models in R on the cloud. Cloud computing is a fantastic resource – we gave an example of a super-computer costing $149,000. A few years ago, such a resource would have been out of reach for practically everyone, but now thanks to cloud computing, you can rent a machine like this on an hourly basis.
For AWS, Azure, and Paperspace, we installed MXNet on the cloud resources, giving us the option of which deep learning library to use. I encourage you to use the examples in the other chapters in this book and try all the different cloud providers here. It is amazing to think that you could do so and your total cost could be less than...
