Pros / Cons
  • Free virtualized machines with GPU access allow both casual users and professionals to quickly and easily perform computationally-heavy tasks without paying premium prices.
  • The machines have at most 30GB of RAM, which comes really handy if you load your datasets in-memory to speed up training like I generally do!

  • I didn't find another tool which can currently replace VirtualBox to host my VMs for testing and still a great tool free of charge.
  • The Guest Additions doesn't work properly with all the OSes, and also sometimes changing the screen size/resolution of the VM running might create an issue like flickering.
