Using GPU¶

GPU instance support is provided for GPU-capable code and frameworks. It can significantly boost the performance of many machine learning training or inference algorithms. GPU instance support is available for PrL workspaces and environments used by jobs.

The provided GPU instances are non-clustered and provide up to 8 GPU computation capabilities per instance.

Run the commands below to view the driver and CUDA toolkit details:

nvcc --version

Once you know what your system's defaults are for GPU, install any GPU-enabled framework you require, and try out your GPU code:

import torch
cuda0 = torch.device('cuda:0')
torch.ones([2, 4], dtype=torch.float64, device=cuda0)
