%tensorboard magic

[GAnthony_R_Intel]

I don't seem to be able to use the %tensorboard magic for oneAPI DevCloud's Jupyter Notebooks.

Is there a way to set this up in an environment?

%tensorboard --logdir logs

Hi

Please follow these steps to use tensorboard magic command on devcloud :

#Create  a conda environment and install all the necessary packages

conda create -n <env_name>

source activate <env_name>

pip install –user <package>

#installing ipykernel

conda install ipykernel

#to get that kernel in jupyter notebook

python -m ipykernel install --user --name <env_name> 

Open the jupyter lab and set the kernel to this environment

Kernelàchange kernelà select one you want

#check whether the kernel is set properly run the command in a cell

import sys

sys.executable

(will give output as kernel path)

#tunneling

Enter command `jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=8880` on a remote shell

Open another prompt for port forwarding  and run the below commands

ssh -L 8880:localhost:8880 devcloud

ssh -L 8880:localhost:8880 s001-n0xx

Copy-paste the URL address from the host into your local browser to open the jupyter console.

#Now run the tensorboard commands.

Hope this will work fine. Get back to us if you have any further issues.

Thanks,

Is there a way the pre-defined kernel can include this by default on oneAPI DevCloud? I'm thinking that new users don't want to do this manually? TensorBoard is a pretty nice addition and the magic command is useful for Jupyter Notebooks.

Hi,

You can install the tensorboard package in your existing conda environment so that its available in its jupyter notebook kernel.

conda install -c conda-forge tensorboard

Thank you.

Thanks. When I try that I get:

EnvironmentNotWriteableError: the current user does not have write permissions to the target environment.
environment location: /glob/development-tools/versions/oneapi/beta09/inteloneapi/intelpython/latest

Hi,

We are restricted from installing extra packages in the base environment where python path is of /glob/development-tools/versions/oneapi/beta09/inteloneapi/intelpython/latest/bin/python

In order to install extra packages, you need to clone the existing AI environment.

conda create --name <env-name> --clone base

conda activate <env-name>

see ‘which python' and make sure that the python path is of the cloned environment path --> /home/uxxxxx/.conda/envs/<env-name>/bin/python

Install tensorboard :

conda install -c conda-forge tensorboard

OR

You can separately install the AI kit in your home directory and install the tensorboard package after sourcing the environment variables.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I've encountered a similar problem. On jupyter notebook using DevCloud the command "%tensorboard --logdir logs" doesn't work. It gives out the following error:

ERROR: Could not find `tensorboard`. Please ensure that your PATH
contains an executable `tensorboard` program, or explicitly specify
the path to a TensorBoard binary by setting the `TENSORBOARD_BINARY`
environment variable. 

I then ran a python file with the same code as the jupyter notebook and got an error as well. However, I can see the collection directory: the logs are being saved. Which means that the visual interface won't function but the rest of tensorboard works.

After running the .py file on the conda environment "tensorflow" on DevCloud, I get this return to "python3 -m tensorboard.main --logdir=logs":

(tensorflow) u74740@s001-n059:~$ python3 -m tensorboard.main --logdir=logs
