Additionally, unless you enable auto-shutdown, these instances will stay awake permanently, and not abort half-way through training. Instance Setup Once you have signed up for Paperspace's gradient platform and applied your coupon: Go to console.paperspace.com and create a under the "ICL Deep Learning 2023" team (selected at top left) Create a notebook within that project. We recommend using the PyTorch 1.10 GPU runtime Select a machine - you can use the free-tier CPU or GPU machines for most of the coursework questions, but when training your models we recommend using a paid P4000 instance. Choose your auto-shutdown period carefully, base on the network's training time, and whether you will need to go AFK You can directly connect the instance to your gitlab repository by

On your local computer you'll want to setup the ~/.ssh/config as follows (with e.g. <USERNAME>=afs219) # This is the Jump box which allows us to access doc machines # from outside of Uni (without the VPN) Host uniJumpShell User <USERNAME> # Sometimes a shell may go down - can choose from 5
