The technical specification of the environment (as of the time of this writing) is quoted below from the Kaggle website; the most recent version can be verified at https://www.kaggle.com/docs/notebooks:

• 12 hours execution time for CPU/GPU, 9 hours for TPU
• 20 gigabytes of auto-saved disk space (/kaggle/working)
• Additional scratchpad disk space (outside /kaggle/working) that will not be saved outside of the current session

CPU specifications:

• 4 CPU cores
• 16 gigabytes of RAM

GPU specifications:

• 2 CPU cores
• 13 gigabytes of RAM

TPU specifications:

• 4 CPU...
