google-cloud-platform - 如何在免费层的谷歌 ML 引擎的计算引擎实例中添加 GPU？

Question

我尝试使用 google 机器学习引擎 来训练我的 tensorflow 模型。我想使用免费套餐。

当我设置配置并创建新的计算引擎实例(Google 计算引擎)时，我也尝试添加 GPU。但这给了我一个错误，因为谷歌云在没有 GPU 的情况下只提供 300 美元的免费套餐。

有什么方法可以在免费套餐中使用 GPU？

Answer 1

根据 Google's doc

New projects and Free Trial accounts do not receive GPU quota by default.

You must have GPU quota before you can create instances with GPUs.

所有免费套餐用户都以 0 GPU 启动，他们必须提交增加配额的请求。但是，要提出请求，必须将他的帐户升级为付费帐户。

10 分钟前，我仍在免费套餐中，我的所有项目都将收取 300 美元的免费试用促销积分。

我必须升级我的帐户才能提交 GPU 请求。一分钟后，我的请求被批准了。当我再次尝试创建实例时，我会根据价目表收费。

更新

我刚刚联系了一位 Google Cloud 支持成员，结果如下。

After an account has been upgraded, the unconsumed promotion $300 credits will be consumed first. Once the credits have been consumed, the charges will automatically then charged to your payment method on file. Since you have upgraded your billing account, you will not be notified that your free trial credits are consumed and that charges will be taken on your credit card. However, you can actually monitor your charges on your account by simply logging in to your console and check usage in the billing section.

简而言之，您可以先升级您的帐户并训练您的机器学习模型，同时监控费用以避免意外费用。

与此同时，谷歌刚刚向公众发布了 Colab，其崇高目标是传播机器学习教育和研究。

You can use GPU as a backend for free for 12 hours at a time.

1. The GPU used in the backend is K80(at this moment).

2. The 12-hour limit is for a continuous assignment of VM. It means we can use GPU compute even after the end of 12 hours by connecting to a different VM.

这实际上意味着您可以免费训练您的 ML 模型!欢呼!

希望我的发现对您有所帮助。
