Workstation setup for Machine Learning [ML]

 Below is my setup and commands used.

My laptop is currently the Lenovo 5i Pro with an Intel i7 processor, 32Gb RAM, Nvidia 4060 w/8Gb VRAM, and 1Tb SSD

Current main operating system is Windows 11 Pro [this supports Docker. Windows Home is not supported by docker]

I am running Python 3.12 and pip 24.0

Commands:

pip install numpy
pip install pandas
pip install scikit-learn
pip install keras tensorflow

I installed Nvidia Studio driver 551.61 as of today 3/9/2024 for the RTX 4060

I installed Cuda 12.3. Click here for the download link.

According to Nvidia, "The NVIDIA CUDA® Deep Neural Network library (cuDNN) is a GPU-accelerated library of primitives for deep neural networks. cuDNN provides highly tuned implementations for standard routines such as forward and backward convolution, attention, matmul, pooling, and normalization."

I Installed cuDNN 9.00 [as of 3/9/2024] from Nvidia. Click here for the link. 

Other software installed:
