I am interested in using a tool (scVI - https://scvi.readthedocs.io/ ) that runs much faster on GPUs but at the moment only CPUs can be requested as Notebook Runtime Environments.
It would be great to be allowed to request GPUs as Notebook Runtime Environments.

  This would be awesome for any deep learning analyses, good idea!

  Hi Terra team, Can we please get some input on whether GPU support can be added? Several of us think this is an important addition. Thank you!

  Hi orr et. al.,

  Thank you for checking in on this. Our notebooks engineering team has done an investigation of the time and effort required for implementation and have concluded that the requirements are high on both fronts. As such, the team will be unable to implement this feature this quarter due to the size of the team and prior commitments that they need to implement first. That said, the team is aware that this is one of the highest requested features for the platform and are actively working on crafting a plan to deliver as soon as they are able. The goal is to implement before end of year.

  As always, I am happy to update everyone on the progress of work as I hear more from the team!

  Kind regards,

  Jason
