Hardware requirements?

[9876691]

Could we list the hardware requirements or the hardware it's been tested on at the moment?

So I can see it's using the WGPU backend do you know roughly how much VRAM is needed?

Thanks.

I have same question. And does it works on Apple Silicon, M1/M2?

I'm currently getting No CPU device found on M2 when trying to run the convert binary. Issue seems related to the latest commit (c512786). Reverting to 427911f worked for me.

Update:
Nevermind, I ran into a buffer size issue:

thread 'main' panicked at 'wgpu error: Validation Error

Caused by:

I'll check with the burn team about this.

Once the burn caching functions are public I'll try benchmarking it.

burn-wgpu doesn't use the full device memory so overflows happen with some large models but hopefully in a few days I'll have it working.
