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 device argument in their constructor. For more details, check the Device Management page.
