FAQ

Here are the answers to the questions people frequently ask about Haystack.

How can I make sure that my GPU is being engaged when I use Haystack?

You will want to ensure that a CUDA enabled GPU is being engaged when Haystack is running (you can check by running nvidia-smi -l on your command line). Components which can be sped up by GPU have a use_gpu argument in their constructor which you will want to set to True.

Are you tracking my Haystack usage?

How can I disable progress bars in Haystack?
