Thank you very much for your explanation of the radlab parameter adjustment syntax in the last regular meeting, but in fact, because I have just come into contact with the working environment of gcp, I still have some questions about building radlab itself in GCP. I want you to help me Let me know if my understanding is correct about the build process. I see that there is a cloudbuild configuration file cloudbuild.yaml in rad-lab/modules/silicon_design/scripts/build/ whether I should generate the corresponding gcp environment according to this configuration file, and then run the relevant ipynb script. In addition, I see that there are python codes of .md files in the script, whether these files will be automatically converted to ipynb when the environment is created. What kind of gcp environment do I need to prepare before building the radlab environment besides projectid? Do I need to create a VM environment or a workbench environment in the projectid first.

yes, and we also notice that we can open the google gloud shell from https://github.com/proppy/rad-lab/tree/tuning. After we run radlab.py, which seems helps us to build up the tuning environment, we get this kind of error:

after we run it again, it will report:

Could you please give us some advice? We have money in our gcp account，and do we need to pay for radlab separately?

Oh sorry I didn't see this room ;)

The radlab need a billing account attached to it in order to be deployed.

Did you already setup billing for your project?

so, do you mean that we have to pay for radlab additionally?

Here is the image of our billing page

Are we allowed to depoly it in this state?

It should be able to use the existing billing setting

You just have to make sure the billing account ID matches

Hello, I now understand that the free account cannot be used for pre-fund injection, so we encountered problems in the radlab help document when we deployed. Dr. Tan said that it may take a while for him to apply for a Berkeley account. I would like to ask Do you have a test account that you can lend us to use for deployment

I may be able to create a test project and and you there

That would be the easiest

Thank you very much for your help, is there any more information we need to provide, or just wait

@xinze wang sorry I was traveling and didn't check slack messages

I think I figured a way to create a test project but this might require a US-based Google workspace domain.

So it would be good to discuss this during our next sync.

@Matt Venn would be interested to interview you!
