How to make H2O driverless AI use more cores on CPU?

My machine has 20 cores on its CPU, but when running Driverless AI, it uses only 4 of them.How can I make it use more cores for faster results?

Solution

  • It will depend on your setup and what version of DAI you are using, but you can specify the number of CPUs you want to use in the config.toml file. For your convenience I have pasted the relevant section of the toml file below as well as provided the documentation link that includes details for setting up this file.

    ## Hardware: Configure hardware settings here (GPUs, CPUs, Memory, etc.)

# Max number of CPU cores to use per experiment. Set to <= 0 to use all cores.
# One can also set environment variable "OMP_NUM_THREADS" to number of cores to use for OpenMP
# e.g. In bash: export OMP_NUM_THREADS=32 and export OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=32
#Set to -1 for all available cores.
#max_cores = -1
