Welcome to Onepanel

This guide takes about 1 minute to complete. Once complete, you will have access to a CPU-enabled Jupyter Notebook that can be upgraded to a GPU-enabled notebook.

If you are returning to work and have previously completed the steps below, please go to the returning to work section.

Pricing

We recommend the Nvidia K80 GPU configuration which costs $0.29 per hour. We also offer Nvidia T4 and V100. Here’s our full pricing page.

Storage

You should use the suggested 80GB disk size, which is an additional $0.0139 per hour. You can increase the disk size later if you need more space.

How much will you use this course

Considering that the course requires, over 2 months, 80 hours of homework plus the 2 hours of working through each lesson, we calculated roughly how much you would spend in the course.

• Nvidia K80 GPU + Storage: (80+2*7)*$0.29 + (80+2*7)*$0.0139*2 = $29.88
