Google allows you to use their GPU’s & TPU’s for free
Welcome back! As some of you may know, Google actually allows you to use their GPU’s and TPU’s for free for your Python projects! Google Colab is a free tool that allows you to take advantage of shared resources offered by Google, check out their website below to build out a project using this tool:
If any of you have ever used Jupyter Notebooks it is essentially the same layout, you develop your code in blocks and essentially run those blocks, the best part about this is that you can utilize Google GPU’s to run your code!
The advantage of running your code in a seperated environment is that you’re not limited on the power of your machine, so if you have a low powered PC you can still execute your code fairly fast, this is a massive advantage over a Jupyter Notebook. Enabling the GPU option in a Google Colab project is a very easy thing to do, check out the following tutorial to do this:
