Watson Studio Runtimes

Version: 11.2.0

Experience: Cloud Pak for Data watsonx™

Description

Data scientists can use Jupyter Notebook runtimes for Watson Studio to run notebooks and experiments that train compute-intensive machine learning models in Watson Studio analytics projects. Depending on the environment that you are using and the nodes in your cluster, use the following list to learn the runtimes that are available and the features that they provide.

Runtime 25.1 on Python 3.12
This runtime is installed by default with the Watson Studio service in Cloud Pak for Data 5.2. It provides compute environments for data scientists to run JupyterLab and Jupyter notebooks in the Python 3.12 coding language in Watson Studio analytics projects.
Runtime 24.1 on Python 3.11
This runtime is installed by default with the Watson Studio service in Cloud Pak for Data 5.2. It provides compute environments for data scientists to run JupyterLab and Jupyter notebooks in the Python 3.11 coding language in Watson Studio analytics projects.
Runtime 25.1 on Python 3.12 for GPU
If you have GPU nodes in your cluster, this runtime allows data scientists to run notebooks and experiments that train compute-intensive machine learning models in Watson Studio analytics projects.
Runtime 24.1 on Python 3.11 for GPU
If you have GPU nodes in your cluster, this runtime allows data scientists to run notebooks and experiments that train compute-intensive machine learning models in Watson Studio analytics projects.
Runtime 24.1 on R 4.3
This runtime provides compute environments for data scientists to run Runtime 23.1 on R 4.3 coding language in Watson Studio analytics projects.

The upgrade process for all installed Watson Studio Runtimes is now consolidated. You can upgrade all runtimes together instead of upgrading individually. To upgrade Watson Studio Runtimes, see Upgrading Watson Studio Runtimes.

Restriction:
  • GPU runtimes and R-based runtimes with Spark are not supported on Z (s390x) systems.
  • GPU runtimes are not supported on IBM Power (ppc64le).
