[D] Will data augmentations work faster on TPUs?
Another option is DALI https://github.com/NVIDIA/DALI For my project while training EfficientNet2, it was a game changer. But it a way harder to implement in code than TorchVision or Kornia.

mmap_ninja: Speedup your training dramatically by using memory-mapped files for your dataset
Small question if you are using GPU: How to this compare to GPUDirect Storage from Nvidia? can you have even more speedup by using both? I never toy with it, but the DALI project from Nvidia seem to tackle the same data loading problem.

Top 5 Python libraries for Computer vision
Kornia - Kornia is a differentiable computer vision library for PyTorch. It consists of a set of routines and differentiable modules to solve generic computer vision problems. At its core, the package uses PyTorch as its main backend both for efficiency and to take advantage of the reverse-mode auto-differentiation to define and compute the gradient of complex functions.

[D] CPU choice for machine learning server (Epyc vs. Threadripper)
Between "not being sure yet" about GPU operations in pre-processing and choosing high-end CPUs, I think you are overthinking the wrong alternative. Besides DALI, check whether you are using codecs besides nvidia/torchvision-supported jpeg and png, and if other GPU CV libraries meet your needs: torchvision kornia

[P] Using PyTorch + NumPy? A bug that plagues thousands of open-source ML projects.
Use kornia.augmentation where this problem is solved doing the augmentations in batch outside the dataloader. https://github.com/kornia/kornia
