Adding normal agent node will not improve the Pipeline running time

Will adding an agent node improve pipeline runtime?

Issue Description

Adding a normal agent node (not a GPU agent node) will not help reduce the runtime of the training pipeline in Automation Suite.

Root Cause

The runtime is primarily determined by whether the pipeline is using CPU or GPU for the processing.

Resolution

If a pipeline is slow, the best option is to run it on an agent with a GPU (and only if the pipeline is not already using a GPU).

Adding an agent node with no GPU will only enable the ability to run more pipelines, but will not affect the speed of the pipeline.
