Benchmark RenkuLab vs Colab vs local machine
This is not really an issue, just thought I'd share some benchmarking I did with training the flower CNN for 80 epochs (Exercises - Convolutional Neural Networks.ipynb). Surprisingly RenkuLab without GPU beats Google Colab with T4 GPU.
On my local machine (Cuda 12.3 and nVidia 545 driver, Linux Mint 21.3, Kernel 6.5), I used tensorflow 2.16.1 instead of 2.12.1, with very minor code changes (fit_generator()
is deprecated in favor of fit()
).
