At some point  after using my Keras configured Tensorflow, my GPU server becomes unusable, with a load over 10, from a IRQ/133-nvidia process.  It isn't possible to KILL the process and I end up having to reboot.

Added a second ASUS GPU GeForce GTX 1060 to my GPU Server, installed and up and running.  As the motherboard is an ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers) and as the first one is working pretty well I figured it couldn't hurt to add a duplicate (almost, see BIOS below).  My other concern was if the Nvidia CUDA GPU driver could handle multiple types of GPU models easily (apparently it can), however it seems less risky (or rather a gut feeling based upon previous hardware experience) to stick with the 1060s.  Plus those cards are in my price ra

Any intelligence is good. If you do not have natural intelligence, then artificial; if you do not have organic intelligence, then synthetic. But any intelligence is good if it is intelligence. Suppose the walls in your house turned out to be intelligent ones, is it not fantastic? The only thing is, if they get smarter than you, you may feel a little insecure! Otherwise, having a lot of intelligent things around you is a great blessing.  Sadhguru (link)

I recently visited my friend MJ in Taipei City, Tiawan, and we made our way to Guanghua Digital Plaza, an awesome place for new and cheap electronics.  I ended up walking out with 18kg of gear for a crypto-currency mining platform which I figured would be easy to convert to a neural network server.
