Sisyphus

Sisyphus is a Lenovo M720t assigned to speech-synthesis work. The October 2026 hardware notes describe an Intel Core i7-9700, 48 GB of installed memory and a low-profile RTX 3050 with 6 GB of VRAM.

The interesting constraint is the stock 210W power supply. Adding a GPU to an office tower means considering the whole machine's power budget, not just whether the card fits through the opening.

The recorded configuration uses persistent CPU power limits and directs display work to integrated graphics. Those are ways of managing the available headroom. They are not a guarantee against overload, and they do not turn the card's nominal memory into an entirely unoccupied resource.

I keep this node's role distinct from Titan's larger compute experiments. Speech work has its own model sizes, service behaviour and output-routing problems. A synthesis service producing audio and that audio reaching the right device are two different achievements.

This page is a hardware-and-role snapshot. Specific voice models and performance results need their own dated notes.
