How to upgrade to 25GB RAM in Google Colab possibly w/ Tesla P100 GPU for Free

HIgh RAM Colab Runtime

I’ll keep this simple and sweet

Open this Notebook in Colab and Run: https://github.com/satyajitghana/TSAI-DeepVision-EVA4.0/blob/master/Utils/Colab_25GBRAM_GPU.ipynb

That is it, you have a 25GB High RAM 🤩 session in Colab, Go Crazy !

25GB RAM

Tesla P100 16GB

If you open the .ipynb file with notepad then you’ll see this metadata

"machine_shape": "hm"

which enables the High Memory runtime in Colab

colab file opened with notepad

I feel high memory session tends to get a P100, but if you did not get a P100, try resetting the runtime

Runtime -> Factory reset runtime

Reconnect and check if you got a P100, if not try with a different account, and repeat, usually new accounts get a P100 easily

That’s it Folks 😛
