## IT Justification

Really easy. Go to GCP or AWS. Find out the type of GPU compute instance you need. Remember, the TensorBook has 64G of memory. For me, it’s about $400/month and I run models constantly. My Lambda laptop cost ~$4,000. So the payback in this case is ~10 months. There’s a bigger benefit. With the Lam…

## Lambda Tensorbook - Unable to recognize GPU with PyTorch

ubuntu desktop (Tensorbook)

Reinstalling the Lambda stack did not help. But thanks, I really appreciate your help. Should I reinstall the nVidia drivers? Seems like something is out of sync. Thanks.

No. I get the following. I have not tried changing the installation. Command ‘nvidia-smi’ not found, but can be installed with:

```bash
sudo apt install nvidia-utils-435 # version 435.21-0ubuntu7, or
sudo apt install nvidia-utils-440 # version 440.82+really.440.64-0ubuntu6
```

Note: I have also upgraded the system:

```bash
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
```

And still no GPU.
