How do I print in Google Colab which TPU version I am using and how much memory the TPUs have?

With I get the following Output

tpu = tf.distribute.cluster_resolver.TPUClusterResolver()
tf.config.experimental_connect_to_cluster(tpu)
tf.tpu.experimental.initialize_tpu_system(tpu)

tpu_strategy = tf.distribute.experimental.TPUStrategy(tpu)

Output

I want something like [IN] print('tpu.version:', tpu.version) [OUT] tpu.version: Cloud TPU v3.

I hope someone can help me. Looking forward to an answer!

  • Does this answer your question? [In google colab, is there a way to check what TPU verison is running?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63009227/in-google-colab-is-there-a-way-to-check-what-tpu-verison-is-running) – Innat Nov 04 '21 at 00:49

This answer should have what you're looking for.

import os
from tensorflow.python.profiler import profiler_client

tpu_profile_service_address = os.environ['COLAB_TPU_ADDR'].replace('8470', '8466')
print(profiler_client.monitor(tpu_profile_service_address, 100, 2))

Output looks like:

  Timestamp: 22:23:03
  TPU type: TPU v2
  Utilization of TPU Matrix Units (higher is better): 0.000%

TPUv2 has 8GB per-core and TPUv3 has 16GB HBM per-core (https://cloud.google.com/tpu).
