Google Cloud Deep Learning VM Image vs. JupyterLab vs. MicroPython vs. Posit Comparison Chart

Provision a VM quickly with everything you need to get your deep learning project started on Google Cloud. Deep Learning VM Image makes it easy and fast to instantiate a VM image containing the most popular AI frameworks on a Google Compute Engine instance without worrying about software compatibility. You can launch Compute Engine instances pre-installed with TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, and more. You can also easily add Cloud GPU and Cloud TPU support. Deep Learning VM Image supports the most popular and latest machine learning frameworks, like TensorFlow and PyTorch. To accelerate your model training and deployment, Deep Learning VM Images are optimized with the latest NVIDIA® CUDA-X AI libraries and drivers and the Intel® Math Kernel Library. Get started immediately with all the required frameworks, libraries, and drivers pre-installed and tested for compatibility. Deep Learning VM Image delivers a seamless notebook experience with integrated support for JupyterLab.

The MicroPython pyboard is a compact electronic circuit board that runs MicroPython on the bare metal, giving you a low-level Python operating system that can be used to control all kinds of electronic projects. MicroPython is packed full of advanced features such as an interactive prompt, arbitrary precision integers, closures, list comprehension, generators, exception handling and more. Yet it is compact enough to fit and run within just 256k of code space and 16k of RAM. MicroPython aims to be as compatible with normal Python as possible to allow you to transfer code with ease from the desktop to a microcontroller or embedded system.
