Colab not recognizing local gpu
Im trying to train a Neural Network that I wrote, but it seems that colab is not recognizing the gtx 1050 on my laptop. I can't use their cloud GPU's for this task, because I run into memory constraints  

print(cuda.is_available())


is returning False

Indeed you gotta select the local runtime accelerator to use GPUs or TPUs, go to Runtime then Change runtime type like in the picture:



And then change it to GPU (takes some secs):
