This is a guide for installing the Torch machine learning ecosystem onto a GPU EC2 instance running Ubuntu 14.04.
Note: I have created and made available a Community EC2 AMI following these step with the name torch-ubuntu-14.04-cuda-7.0-28
and ami-id ami-c79b7eac
. Simply search for ami-c79b7eac
in Community AMIs when creating an instance to get up and running quickly.
Preliminary steps:
- Start a
g2.2xlarge
org2.8xlarge
instance with the Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type - ami-d05e75b8 base AMI; - On Step 4: Add Storage of the instance configuration, increase storage on the primary volume from 8GB to 16GB; the 8GB default is too small;
- Ensure the SSH port is allowed in the security group;
