Tensorflow (GPU) setup

Update nvidia key for cuda8.0

[https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads]

wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1404/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub

as root not sudo

add

cat 7fa2af80.pub | apt-key add -

remove old

apt-key del 5C37D3BE

sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-8-0-local_8.0.44-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cuda

Install CUDNN 5.0

https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r0.11/get_started/os_setup.html#optional-linux-enable-gpu-support

Download [https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn]

tar xvzf cudnn-8.0-linux-x64-v5.1-ga.tgz
sudo cp -a cuda/include/* /usr/local/cuda/include
sudo cp -a cuda/lib64/libcudnn* /usr/local/cuda/lib64
sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda/lib64/libcudnn*

Conda env setup

Python 3.4

create env

conda create -n tensorflow python=3.4

Activate

source activate tensorflow

set Binary

export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.11.0-cp34-cp34m-linux_x86_64.whl

Install (pip3 didn't work this did)

pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL

Set conda envs to enable GPU

Test

$ python

>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> hello = tf.constant('Hello, TensorFlow!')
>>> sess = tf.Session()
>>> print(sess.run(hello))
Hello, TensorFlow!
>>> a = tf.constant(10)
>>> b = tf.constant(32)
>>> print(sess.run(a + b))
