I am trying to run some image processing algorithms on google colab but ran out of memory (after the free 25Gb option).
I am thinking of purchasing Colab Pro, but the website is not that informative (it says double, but, is it double 12 or double 25?).
The images that I am working on are whole scan images (15000px x 15000px approx or more). Any other suggestions on how to tackle this problem? (on my current system 32Gb Ram I solved this through swap memory)
Go to the upper toolbar > select 'Runtime' > 'Change Runtime Type' > hardware accelerator: select 'TPU'. This will provide you with 35.5GB instead of 25GB of free RAM
You can now subscribe to the Colab Pro Plus solution provided by Google, which has a maximum RAM of 52Gb.
I tried Google Colab Pro and I could not get more than 56GB For anyone looking for another solution, I used a DigitalOcean Droplet. As of 2022, these are the prices, easy and quick and not expensive.
