Managing Jupyter Kernels: A Comprehensive Guide
Jupyter Notebooks have completely transformed how we go about working with code and data by providing a flexible platform that supports multiple programming languages. These notebooks are a valuable tool for data scientists and developers to create and share documents that combine code (e.g. Python) with rich text elements (such as images, links, equations, and more). However, there are situations when it becomes necessary to restart the Jupyter kernel to address errors, free up memory, or ensure a fresh start.
In this article, we will explore the concept of Jupyter kernels, understand why restarting them is necessary at times, and delve into methods for doing so with code examples.
