Overview

There are several ways to run computing jobs on Robbie. Which approach works best for you depends on your existing toolset (e.g. IDE) and what you are trying to accomplish. The following table highlights when to use specific Robbie capabilities:

Robbie Capability	Existing Toolset	When to Use
Remote Functions	Jupyter Notebook	Experiments in local Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab Your notebook into cells that and that need GPUs.
Magics	Jupyter Notebook	Experiments in local Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab Your notebook into cells that and that need GPUs.
Notebook Runner	Jupyter Notebook	Long running training jobs You don’t want to adapt your Notebook to run on a SLURM cluster
Command Runner	Windows, Mac, or Linux Command Line	You work with Python .py files and a requirement.txt files You need to use training frameworks that have special commands (e.g. torch tune or torch run)
