Diagnosing Pymc v4 slow sampling - linux, kubernetes notebook

Why do you expect the cloud node to be significantly faster than your desktop/laptop? Because it’s a faster CPU or because of GPUs?

If the former, I doubt the cloud instance is much higher specced than your local box.

If the latter, you are most likely not using GPU sampling here.

In any case, it looks like MKL is used correctly which is usually the source of slowness, but I don’t suspect your sampling to be unreasonably slow.
