MS Fabric GPU / Cuda support

[endlst]

Hello,

I am currently testing Microsoft Fabric with a fabric capacity hosted in our Azure tenant.

For this I am implementing a use case for image classification with torchvision. As expected, the training in the notebooks is very slow with the CPU devices.

Searching the forums and help, I could not find any topics on Fabric and GPU support. Is there any information about the possibility to use a Cuda device within Fabric or is there a workaround to use other Azure resources in the same subscription for GPU support?

Thanks for any help or hints,
Stefan

Hi @endlst - Thanks for using Fabric Community,

Unfortunately, MS Fabric doesn't support GPU or cuda support.

Appreciate if you could share the feedback on our feedback channel. Which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows our product teams to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and gives insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.

Any chance we can get timeline on this feature? Without GPU whole Data Science section of Fabric makes no sense and its been 6 month from the original question.
