Notebook instance running R with a GPU

Question

I am new to cloud computing and GCP. I am trying to create a notebook instance running R with a GPU. I got a basic instance with 1 core and 0 GPUs to start and I was able to execute some code which was cool. When I try to create an instance with a GPU I keep getting all sorts of errors about something called live migration, or that there are no resources available, etc. Can someone tell me how to start an R notebook instance with a GPU? It can't be this difficult.

Answer 1

The CRAN (The Comprehensive R Archive Network) doesn't support GPU. However, you can follow thislink might help you to install a Notebook instance running R with a GPU. You need a machine with Nvidia GPU drivers installed then install R and Jupyter Lab. After that compile those R packages which require it for use with GPU's.
