While there have been no recent updates, I would say that this is more than just a dream. Insofar as we'd definitely like to give the object detection toolkit some...

@dustturtle With Turi Create 5.0, yes, we should now be using any available discrete GPU (including eGPU but not including integrated Intel GPUs) to accelerate object detector training significantly.

@jrosebr1 Yes, the Radeon Pro Vega 64 should work! I suspect that if you attach one to a MacBook Pro, the bottleneck may be the CPU-side data loading (depending on...

I don't think we should be writing any models or anything like that during training. Could you see what files are being written by the process? Perhaps it's from SFrame...

Yes, in general, I would recommend resizing images to something not too much bigger than the network's input size, which by default is 416 by 416. (You might want to...

@aicts What version of TuriCreate are you using? Note that GPU support for image classification was only added in turicreate 5.0. How are you determining what GPU is being used?

@aicts Thanks for the followup! We definitely would like to use eGPU here, but for image classification the relevant computation is actually performed by CoreML. (We just perform forward inference...
