Hardware Assist

[Asmaa Qindeel]

Hello Everyone,

Excited to be with you on this task. We were just reviewing our resources; the baseline model and the inference.py. Is there any suggestion about the platfrom where we can run?
We didn't test yet if colab can take this much data. But we thought to ask first maybe you have something else in mind for better management of this task?

Any suggestions?

Regards

Hi Asmaa,

To answer your question directly: Google Colab can definitely handle the data and the training.

Here is a quick overview of what to expect and how you can manage the workflow:

• Estimated Time: The complete training process will take approximately 6 to 8 hours for the full epochs.Session Management

Since Colab sessions can occasionally time out or disconnect over an 8-hour window, you might need to stop the process and further train it in a new session.

DeepFense framework (https://github.com/Yaselley/deepfense-framework) fully supports this out of the box. You can easily pick up exactly where the process left off by using the resume flag.

deepfense train --config /config.yaml --resume checkpoint.pt

Best regards,

Yassine
