Training process requires quite a long time

I’m training my model in Google Colab and it has been running for 5 hours processing 20 epochs. Do you guys all purchase a pro or pro+ package to speed up training or how can we use some resource for free?

Hi @pj_ji, it shouldn’t take that long. Do you have the GPU enabled? No pro or pro+ is required for this

Thank you for your replying. I find that sometimes Colab may put limitation on my access to GPU resource and that costs me very long time for training.

Sometimes, all GPUs are in use, and there is no GPU available. If this is the case, you will have to wait for a while and try again.
Sometimes if you use too much Colab, they just limit the use, the best way to solve it, its try to use another account in google colab and run the code with GPU.
