Colab not recognizing local gpu

Question

Im trying to train a Neural Network that I wrote, but it seems that colab is not recognizing the gtx 1050 on my laptop. I can't use their cloud GPU's for this task, because I run into memory constraints

print(cuda.is_available())

is returning False

Since you did not mentioned in the question, I have to ask: Have you configured local runtimes ? research.google.com/colaboratory/local-runtimes.html Did it report any error? — user11898858

Indeed you gotta select the local runtime accelerator to use GPUs or TPUs, go to Runtime then Change runtime type like in the picture:

And then change it to GPU (takes some secs):
