Log in using Campus credential (User Ex.: AEOU001)

Jupyterhub Tesla GPU

( Help requests can be submitted to our helpdesk  CIM helpdesk  )

After the login the system will show a dropdown menu with two options:

  • Tensorflow version: 2.6.2
  • PyTorch version: 1.11

Choose your preferred environment and SPAWN the container.

Containers can be stopped using the Control Panel button (top right)

Notebook content will persist after a stop/restart.

Each container has 2 Cores and 4 Gb of RAM with 25 Gb of storage.

GPU RAM has not a hardcoded limitation and needs a precise setup before running code against a large dataset, but as rule of thumbs 3 Gb of VRAM are always available.
