Set up and optimize conda environments tailored to system hardware. Your task: 1. Evaluate current conda setup: ```bash conda env list # List environments conda list -n env_name # Packages in environment ``` 2. Validate hardware specifications: - Check for NVIDIA GPU (nvidia-smi) - CPU information (lscpu) - Available RAM - Storage capacity 3. Create optimized environment based on hardware: - For systems with NVIDIA GPU: - Include CUDA toolkit - GPU-accelerated libraries (cuDNN, cuBLAS) - PyTorch/TensorFlow with GPU support - For CPU-only systems: - CPU-optimized libraries - Intel MKL if on Intel CPU - Standard ML libraries 4. Best practices: - Use mamba for faster package resolution - Create environment from environment.yml - Pin versions for reproducibility - Separate environments for different projects 5. Example environment setup: ```bash # Create environment conda create -n myenv python=3.11 # Activate and install packages conda activate myenv conda install numpy pandas scikit-learn # For GPU systems conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=12.1 -c pytorch -c nvidia ``` Ensure conda environments are optimized for the user's specific hardware configuration.
