Create Virtual Environment

If the Poplar SDK is not enabled, it can be enabled with

source /software/graphcore/poplar_sdk/3.3.0/enable

PyTorch virtual environment

mkdir -p ~/venvs/graphcore
virtualenv ~/venvs/graphcore/poptorch33_env
source ~/venvs/graphcore/poptorch33_env/bin/activate

POPLAR_SDK_ROOT=/software/graphcore/poplar_sdk/3.3.0
export POPLAR_SDK_ROOT=$POPLAR_SDK_ROOT
pip install $POPLAR_SDK_ROOT/poptorch-3.3.0+113432_960e9c294b_ubuntu_20_04-cp38-cp38-linux_x86_64.whl
