#Colab notebooks code#

Simply create a new (native) Colab notebook (as described above), then open your existing Jupyter notebook - with Colab - in another browser tab. If you have a Jupyter notebook that you frequently open and it needs GDrive access, invest thirty seconds and save yourself that constant hassle. If you open a Jupyter notebook and click on the Files icon (left sidebar), and then the Mount Drive icon (pop-out panel top-row), Colab will insert the following new cell into your Jupyter notebook: from lab import drive drive.mount('/content/drive')Īnd when you execute that cell, it’ll pop up a new browser tab and you have to go through that annoying i. This ‘native’ Colab notebook has special powers - namely, Google can automatically mount your GDrive on the Colab VM for you as soon as you open the notebook. When you create a new Colab notebook from scratch in GDrive ( +New Button ➤ More ➤ Google Colaboratory), it’ll appear as an orange icon with the Colab logo. When you upload your Jupyter Notebook to GDrive, you’ll see that it appears as a blue/folder icon. Not all Python notebooks are the same, Colab treats Jupyter Notebooks as second-class citizens. Jokes aside, I’m sure you’ve been burned by going through a lengthy pip install, mounting GDrive, downloading, and preparing your data, only to find out three-quarters ways through your notebook that you forgot to set your runtime to ‘GPU’? Put this assertion on the first cell of your notebook - you can thank me later. gpu = !nvidia-smi -L print(gpu) assert any(x in gpu for x in ) You can try again in an hour if you’re feeling lucky! Uhm, yeah Google, thanks but no thanks. I’m so sorry, we’re out of V100s, let’s set you up with our trusty old K80 with 8GB of RAM. You never know what you’re gonna get.” - Forest Gump “Time is not refundable use it with intention.” 1. Have you spent countless hours working in Colab but have yet to invest a few minutes of time to really get to know the tool and be at your most productive? As much as we hate its restrictions, Google is to be commended for democratizing Deep Learning, especially for students from countries which would otherwise have no opportunity to participate in this ‘new electrification’ of entire industries. Regardless of whether you’re a Free, Pro, or Pro+ user, we all love Colab for the resources and ease of sharing it makes available to all of us.
