Training without GPU

Open MattiaMartinelliGeo opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Good morning, unfortunately my pc do not have an Nvidia GPU, so I have this error: Found no NVIDIA driver on your system. Please check that you have an NVIDIA GPU and installed a driver from http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

can I run the training on the CPU?

It seems impossible since you'll see something in the training.md "Finetune with a single GPU:"

Training deep models on CPU is very very slow. I think it is almost impossible. You can try some cloud GPU platforms, such as Colab.
