Tools Used

• GPU Memory Estimator
  Primary

  Estimate total VRAM needed for model architecture and batch size.

• Batch Size Memory Impact
  Primary

  Find maximum batch size that fits within available GPU memory.

• Model Parameter Count
  Supporting

  Count model parameters to estimate memory footprint during setup.

• Training Time Predictor
  Reference

  Project training duration after final batch size and precision are set.

Reference Materials

• Watch VRAM

  CUDA OOM errors mid-training lose progress — always leave 10-15% VRAM headroom.

• Gradient Accumulation

  Simulate batch size 64 with batch 16 and 4 accumulation steps on limited hardware.

• Spot GPUs

  Cloud spot GPU instances cost 60-70% less — use checkpointing to survive preemption.
