 +
==Walkthrough for CUDA 10.1 (20190602)==
 +
 +
===Install CUDA===
 +
* In this [https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu guide] there's a [https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive link to CUDA toolkit].
 +
** That toolkit (CUDA Toolkit 10.1 update1 (May 2019)) also updated the system driver to 418.67
 +
** Reboot
 +
===Install cuDNN===
 +
* Have to have an account with NVIDIA - downloaded [https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-download#a-collapse761-101 cuDNN v7.6.1 (June 24, 2019), for CUDA 10.1]
 +
 +
===Option 1: installing tensorflow from source===
 +
Basically, [https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source '''this guide'''], some key notes:
 +
* [https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source#install_bazel Install bazel] - version 0.25.2 (newer will not work)
 +
* To build, read [https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source#download_the_tensorflow_source_code this link]:
 +
git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow.git
 +
cd tensorflow
 +
git checkout r1.14
 +
./configure
 +
 
 +
bazel build --config=opt --config=cuda //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
 +
# 4-5 hours later
 +
./bazel-bin/tensorflow/tools/pip_package/build_pip_package /tmp/tensorflow_pkg
 +
sudo pip3 install /tmp/tensorflow_pkg/tensorflow-[Tab]
 +
 +
* Testing:
 +
~$ python3
 +
>>> import tensorflow as tf
 +
>>> hello = tf.constant('Hello, World!')                                                                                                                                                                           
 +
>>> sess = tf.Session()
 +
 +
===Option 2: using docker===
 +
Follow [https://www.tensorflow.org/install/docker '''this guide''']. Key notes:
 +
* Tensorflow docker image requires nvidia docker image, nvidia docker image requires ''apt install nvidia-docker2'', ''nvidia-docker2'' requires ''apt install docker-ce'':
 +
- https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker
 +
- https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/
 +
 +
* Test run:
 +
# Test 1: GPU support inside container:
 +
sudo docker run --runtime=nvidia --rm nvidia/cuda:10.1-base nvidia-smi
 +
# Test 2: Test all together
 +
sudo docker pull tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu-py3-jupyter
 +
sudo docker run --runtime=nvidia -it --rm tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu-py3-jupyter python -c "import tensorflow as tf; tf.enable_eager_execution(); print(tf.reduce_sum(tf.random_normal([1000, 1000])))"
 +
# Test 3: Run a local script (and include a local dir) in contatiner:
 +
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/docker
 +
 +
 +
==Setup walkthrough for CUDA 10.2 (Dec 2019)==
 +
 +
===Install CUDA===
 +
* In this [https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu guide] there's a [https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive link to CUDA toolkit].
 +
** The toolkit (CUDA Toolkit 10.2) also updated the system driver to 440.33.01
 +
** Will have to reboot
 +
 +
===Docker===
 +
====Instructions====
 +
'''https://www.tensorflow.org/install/docker'''
 +
 +
Quote:
 +
Docker is the easiest way to enable TensorFlow GPU support on Linux since only the NVIDIA® GPU driver is required on the host machine (the NVIDIA® CUDA® Toolkit does not need to be installed).
 +
 +
====Docker images====
 +
Where to browse: https://hub.docker.com/r/tensorflow/tensorflow/:
 +
{| class='wikitable'
 +
!TF version
 +
!Python major version
 +
!GPU support
 +

 +
 +
====nvidia-docker====
 +
Somehow it was already installed.
 +
 +
* Check NVIDIA docker version
 +
~$ nvidia-docker version
 +
 +
* In the docs it's clear that Docker version 19.03+ should use nvidia-docker2. For Docker of older versions - nvidia-docker v1 should be used.
 +
* It's not immediately clear about the '''nvidia-container-runtime'''. nvidia-docker v1 & v2 should have already registered it.
 +
 +
====Notes====
 +
* Can mount a local directory in a 'binding' mode - i.e., update files locally so they are updated in the docker container as well:
 +
<font size='2'># this will bind-mount directory '''target''' located in '''$(pwd)''', which is a dir the command is run from
 +
# to '''/app''' in the docker container
 +
 +
~$ '''docker run \'''
 +
    '''-it \'''
 +
    '''--rm \'''
 +
    '''--name devtest \'''
 +
    '''-p 0.0.0.0:6006:6006 \'''
 +
    '''--mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/target,target=/app \'''
 +
    '''--gpus all \'''
 +
    <font color='darkgreen'>'''tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu-py3</font> \'''
 +
    '''bash'''</font>
 +
 +
* How to run tensorboard from the container:
 +
<font size='2'># from [https://briancaffey.github.io/2017/11/20/using-tensorflow-and-tensor-board-with-docker.html here]
 +
# From the running container's command line (since it was run with 'bash' in the step above).
 +
# set a correct --logdir
 +
root@e9efee9e3fd3:/# '''tensorboard --bind_all --logdir=/app/log.txt'''  # remove --bind_all for TF 1.15
 +
# Then open a browser:
 +
'''http://localhost:6006'''</font>

OS

  • Kubuntu 16.04 LTS

Setup (guide)

Just follow:

  • The walkthrough in the bottom is for CUDA 10.1, cuDNN 7.6.1, python3
  • This guide (Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit, CUDA 9.2, cuDNN 7.1.4, python3)
  • This guide (Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit, CUDA 9.1, cuDNN 7.1.2, python3)

Setup (some details)

  • Check device
~$ lspci | grep NVIDIA
81:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 610] (rev a1)
81:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1)
  • Check driver version:
~$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  387.26  Thu Nov  2 21:20:16 PDT 2017
GCC version:  gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9)
  • Install cuda 9.2 with patch(es):
# https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=1604&target_type=deblocal:
~$ sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-9-2-local_9.2.88-1_amd64.deb
~$ sudo apt-key add /var/cuda-repo-9-2-local/7fa2af80.pub
~$ sudo apt-get update
~$ sudo apt-get install cuda
# INSTALL THE PATCH(ES)
  • Might need to reboot PC. If cuda 9.2 got installed over other version, nvidia tools will be throwing errors about driver versions mismatching, try
~$ nvidia-smi

Good looking output:

  • As a quickfix had to install CuDNN 7.0.5 instead of latest:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49960132/cudnn-library-compatibility-error-after-loading-model-weights
  • Print tensorflow version
>>> print(tf.__version__)

Problems

  • [SOLVED] AttributeError: '_NamespacePath' object has no attribute 'sort'
# Notes:
 After updating some packages probably. python3?
# How to reproduce:
1:
~$ python3
>>> import tensorflow
2:
~$ virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python3
# Solution:
~$ sudo pip3 install setuptools --upgrade

Walkthrough for CUDA 10.1 (20190602)

Install CUDA

  • In this guide there's a link to CUDA toolkit.
    • That toolkit (CUDA Toolkit 10.1 update1 (May 2019)) also updated the system driver to 418.67
    • Reboot

Install cuDNN

Option 1: installing tensorflow from source

Basically, this guide, some key notes:

git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow.git
cd tensorflow
git checkout r1.14
./configure
 
bazel build --config=opt --config=cuda //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
# 4-5 hours later
./bazel-bin/tensorflow/tools/pip_package/build_pip_package /tmp/tensorflow_pkg
sudo pip3 install /tmp/tensorflow_pkg/tensorflow-[Tab]
  • Testing:
~$ python3
>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> hello = tf.constant('Hello, World!')                                                                                                                                                                            
>>> sess = tf.Session()

Option 2: using docker

Follow this guide. Key notes:

  • Tensorflow docker image requires nvidia docker image, nvidia docker image requires apt install nvidia-docker2, nvidia-docker2 requires apt install docker-ce:
- https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker
- https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/
  • Test run:
# Test 1: GPU support inside container:
sudo docker run --runtime=nvidia --rm nvidia/cuda:10.1-base nvidia-smi
# Test 2: Test all together
sudo docker pull tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu-py3-jupyter
sudo docker run --runtime=nvidia -it --rm tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu-py3-jupyter python -c "import tensorflow as tf; tf.enable_eager_execution(); print(tf.reduce_sum(tf.random_normal([1000, 1000])))"
# Test 3: Run a local script (and include a local dir) in contatiner:
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/docker


Setup walkthrough for CUDA 10.2 (Dec 2019)

Install CUDA

  • In this guide there's a link to CUDA toolkit.
    • The toolkit (CUDA Toolkit 10.2) also updated the system driver to 440.33.01
    • Will have to reboot

Docker

Instructions

https://www.tensorflow.org/install/docker

Quote:

Docker is the easiest way to enable TensorFlow GPU support on Linux since only the NVIDIA® GPU driver is required on the host machine (the NVIDIA® CUDA® Toolkit does not need to be installed).

Docker images

Where to browse: https://hub.docker.com/r/tensorflow/tensorflow/:

TF version Python major version GPU support NAME:TAG for Docker command
1.15 3 yes tensorflow/tensorflow:1.15.0-gpu-py3
2.0.0+ 3 yes tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu-py3
2.0.0+ 2 yes tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu

nvidia-docker

Somehow it was already installed.

  • Check NVIDIA docker version
~$ nvidia-docker version
  • In the docs it's clear that Docker version 19.03+ should use nvidia-docker2. For Docker of older versions - nvidia-docker v1 should be used.
  • It's not immediately clear about the nvidia-container-runtime. nvidia-docker v1 & v2 should have already registered it.

Notes

  • Can mount a local directory in a 'binding' mode - i.e., update files locally so they are updated in the docker container as well:
# this will bind-mount directory target located in $(pwd), which is a dir the command is run from 
# to /app in the docker container

~$ docker run \
   -it \
   --rm \
   --name devtest \
   -p 0.0.0.0:6006:6006 \
   --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/target,target=/app \
   --gpus all \
   tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu-py3 \
   bash
  • How to run tensorboard from the container:
# from here
# From the running container's command line (since it was run with 'bash' in the step above).
# set a correct --logdir
root@e9efee9e3fd3:/# tensorboard --bind_all --logdir=/app/log.txt  # remove --bind_all for TF 1.15
# Then open a browser:
http://localhost:6006
