1. First thing to do on launch is to open a new shell and verify virtualenv is sourced.

Things included are:

• Makefile

• Pytest

• pandas

• Pylint

• Dockerfile

• GitHub copilot

• jupyter and ipython

• Most common Python libraries for ML/DL and Hugging Face

• githubactions

The following examples test out the GPU

• run pytorch training test: python utils/quickstart_pytorch.py
• run pytorch CUDA test: python utils/verify_cuda_pytorch.py
• run tensorflow training test: python utils/quickstart_tf2.py
• run nvidia monitoring test: nvidia-smi -l 1 it should show a GPU
• run whisper transcribe test ./utils/transcribe-whisper.sh and verify GPU is working with nvidia-smi -l 1

Additionally, this workspace is setup to fine-tune Hugging Face

python hf_fine_tune_hello_world.py

Used as the base and customized in the following Duke MLOps and Applied Data Engineering Coursera Labs:
