Chapter 4: Jupyter Notebook

Google Colaboratory

face Josiah Wang

Google provides a Jupyter notebook like experience on its online Google Colaboratary platform.

With Google Colab, you can write and perform experiments via your notebook on the cloud. You can also easily share your notebooks with others, or even choose to allow others to edit your notebook. This is done via Google Drive. You can also download your notebooks as a *.ipynb file to run it locally via Jupyter Notebook.

The free version of Google Colab gives you access to GPUs as well. This should be enough for most of your experimental needs. If you need faster GPUs and more memory, you can upgrade to Pro.

You can also link your Google Colab notebook to your github account, and push your commits directly to a GitHub repo from Colab (and make it easier to share your Colab notebooks).

Go to the settings icon on the top right, then go to the “Miscellaneous” tab.

Enable “Corgi Mode”. You will get a dog loitering around on the top bar! 🐕

You can also enable “Kitty Mode” if you are a cat person. 🐈

Or just enable both! 🐕🐈
