Hi everyone,

Our group has just had an article accepted whereby we tested FSL on a variety of nvidia GPUs and a few datasets and compared their CUDA performances in terms of speed and efficiency.

I will circulate the manuscript shortly.

Regards,

Jerome

Thanks for your insights! I am primary using the system for image processing and would use all of the current FSL GPU tools to process connectome-style data. I am looking to keep the system under $14k all together. My assumption is I would get better performance out of run parallel GPUs that may be a little slower in place of few (or one) higher end GPU. 

I would certainly love to hear from users out there what they have found compatible with more recent and widely available GPUs. Thanks!

Hi Erik:
    First, a couple of questions:  (1) do you need good double-precision performance?  (2) how much do you want to spend?

If you only need need good double-precision performance, we have had good luck with the NVidia Titan V.  If you only require good single-precision performance, a less costly option would be the NVidia RTX 2080 Ti.  It has about the same, if not a little better, single-precision performance as the Titan V.  However, for double-precision performance the Titan V is superior by far.

All of that said, before buying the GPUs, I would recommend searching for the experiences of others using that GPU with the specific applications you are planning to run.  You could search the archives, ask your colleaues, etc.

Subject: [FSL] Compatible GPUs
 
Hi everyone
I am looking to purchase some GPUs for the FSL GPU packages. I read the FSL website on GPUs, but many of the ones listed are end of life products now. Curious if anyone could suggest current marketed GPUs that they have used that are compatible. I am a novice when it comes to CUDA and GPUs so don’t want to purchase something that I cannot use. Thank you in advance!

Erik
