Serial portions of applications are run on the CPU, and parallel portions are offloaded to the GPU. Support heterogeneous computation where applications use both the CPU and GPU.

With CUDA C/C++, programmers can focus on the task of parallelization of the algorithms rather than spending time on their implementation. Provide a small set of extensions to standard programming languages, like C, that enable a straightforward implementation of parallel algorithms. It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU).ĬUDA was developed with several design goals in mind: Introduction ĬUDA ® is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA ®. For example, you can also use TF 2.4.1, cudatoolkit 11.0, and cudnn 8.0 by using cudatoolkit=11.0, cudnn=8.0, tensorflow-gpu=2.4.1 (double equals for pip) in the installation commands above.The installation instructions for the CUDA Toolkit on Linux.

Cudatoolkit conda install#

You can also install other versions of Tensorflow and the cuda libraries.

For example, if you use conda to install tensorflow-probability, it might also install tensorflow-base as a dependency, which can override tensorflow-gpu.

Cudatoolkit conda update#

Be careful when running conda install or conda update in this environment and check the package plan carefully before hitting enter.This will be even worse if you try to run actual models with lags lasting many minutes or almost an hour before running the first epoch in addition to unpredictable behavior such as getting nan values for certain networks like CNNs. If things are out of whack, there will be a very long lag before you get the answer (although subsequent calls may be quick). However, if it is working correctly, the following command (or similar) should execute and return a tensor almost instantly: > tf.random.uniform() Tensorflow can still recognize your GPU even if the cuda libraries are incompatible and return similar messages when entering the two commands above indicating that all is good. If this returns an empty list, then Tensorflow is not using the GPU.įinally, create some random tensor with tf.constant or tf.random. Should return a long message that it successfully opened a bunch of cuda libraries and more importantly, a list at the end with a named tuple indicating that it found the GPU (e.g. Should return a message saying it successfully opened libcudart > tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU') I use the following statements for my check. Make sure you have the new environment activated and start a python session in the terminal. Step 3: Check that Tensorflow is working and using GPU. conda activate tf_gpu_envĪs of this writing, this installs Tensorflow-gpu 2.5.0 Installing from conda will either take a very long time as conda tries to resolve conflicts before it errors out, or will forcefully downgrade cudatoolkit and cudnn to older versions. Step 2: Activate the environment and install tensorflow-gpu using pip not conda. I used the conda-forge channel but imagine the anaconda and nvidia channels would work too. conda create -n tf_gpu_env -c conda-forge cudatoolkit cudnn python=3.8Īs of this writing, this will install cudatoolkit 11.2, cudnn 8.2 and python 3.8.10 into this new environment. Step 1: Create a conda environment and install cudatoolkit and cudnn into it.

Cudatoolkit conda trial#

There are probably a number of different ways to do it but here is what worked for me after a lot of trial and error: If you try to force a newer version using tensorflow-gpu=2.4 it will either just install the older incompatible cudatoolkit 10.x/cudnn 7.x libraries or not install them at all. If you use conda install -c anaconda tensorflow-gpu, it will install TF v2.2, cudatoolkit 10.x, and cudnn 7.x by default. It seems the problem is currently there is no conda environment that is correctly packaged with Tensorflow 2.4+, CUDA 11+ and CuDNN 8+, which are required to run on this newer GPU architecture (more info here). I have a Linux Mint 20.1 system (based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) with a GeForce RTX 3080 (driver version 460.80) and had a lot of issues trying to run Tensorflow in a conda environment. If that doesn't work, see if what follows will help. It can be installed using: conda install -c esri tensorflow-gpu

UPDATE (08/30/21): The Esri conda channel has a tensorflow-gpu package that seems to work correctly out of the box.
