On June 26 we updated the GPU compute nodes to a new version of IBM Watson Machine Learning Accelerator. This changes the way you access deep learning packages like Tensorflow and Pytorch. Instead of "activating" these packages, you will be able to install new versions directly in your anaconda environment.
 
  
−
We are actively updating the wiki documentation to explain the new method of accessing deep learning packages (see [[Getting started with Deep Learning]]). Please bear with us during these updates as some documentation may still refer to the old method of "activating" deep learning packages.

Due to the nature of "unlimited resources" of cloud computing, DeepSense doesn't limit any cloud services that the projects need. The cloud services listed in the following tables are our currently running resources. This doesn't necessarily indicate we cannot use other cloud resources. DeepSense users are encouraged to contact us to apply for required cloud computing services.

Just below you can see the available cloud services, and information about any planned outages we may have. Due to the nature of "unlimited resources" of cloud computing, DeepSense doesn't limit any cloud services that the projects need.
