Ready to use cross-platform environment for the course

Hey Anurag, the docker container worked perfectly on my local box with a 1050ti (which I was having all kinds of problems trying to get it to work using native drivers etc.) So kudos for this great work!

I also signed up for Crestle account and when I ran the Crestle notbook with dogscats full data set, it took about 645 seconds. When I ran it on my nvidia-docker container on 1050ti … it took about 620 seconds. I was expecting the Crestle GPU backed notebook to run much much faster… since it uses a dedicated Tesla K80? Any ideas on what I maybe doing wrong with the Crestle notebook GPU enablement?

Thanks,

Mike

Do you see the same times on Crestle when you run it again? Sometimes the first run can take longer because it’s missing cached data.
