Google Colab is an online platform for data science and machine learning. It allows Jupyter notebooks to be run on Google’s servers, with support for GPU computations.
Development environment
By default, Colab’s runtime environment is on a CPU. From the settings Runtime > Change runtime type, it’s possible to switch to a GPU or a TPU. More performant hardware is paywalled.
To connect to a local runtime (i.e., to run a notebook locally), setup instructions are here.
