How to create the optimal alternative GCP instance for proteinfer.

[yonesora56]

I am terribly sorry to ask such a basic question, but I would like to ask you about creating a GCP instance.

I attempted to utilize proteinfer in the CLI by following the instructions in the README to create an instance. However, I encountered the below error.

gcloud compute instances create proteinfer-gpu \
--machine-type n1-standard-8 \
--zone us-west1-b \
--accelerator type=nvidia-tesla-v100,count=1 \
--image-family ubuntu-2004-lts \
--image-project ubuntu-os-cloud \
--maintenance-policy TERMINATE \
--boot-disk-size 250

ERROR

Are there any alternative parameters that would work best for using Proteinfer, such as machine type, zones, accelerators, etc.?

I am having the same problem, did you find any solutions?

The CLI version of proteinfer can be executed even without GCP. NVIDIA GPU and python3.7 are required.
I was able to run proteinfer on a G4dn instance of AWS EC2. The nvidia gpu environment is as follows

$ nvidia-smi 
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+-----------------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+                                                                               

proteinfer uses Tensorflow1 so python must be 3.7.
