Running NEMO on CPU cluster

[philm001]

Hello all,

I know that Nemo is meant to run on Nvidia. Before I drop the 2k to purchase the latest RTX, I would like to evaluate Nemo and learn how it works with what I have. I know that I may not get all of the features. Right now, I don't have a gpu that can run NEMO. But I would like to run it with my CPU. I wouldn't be working with the latest and greatest models but at least something to start learning.

Is it possible for NEMO to run on the CPU? Or is it only GPU?

I found this post here, it is 2 years old. Has there been any changes since then?

I have an older cluster computer that doesn't have the GPU power but has a lot of CPU power. I am thinking to set it up as a SLUM cluster. I would like to play around with Nvidia NEMO and show some simple results with a simple model (something less then 1B parameters). Can I still use NEMO with SLUM cluster if it doesn't have GPU?
