[Is it explosive !?] Setup for using the GPU version of Tensorflow on OS X

** * Added on May 12, 2016 This article is completely deprecated because it has been merged into the official Tensorflow repository. ** ** -> OSX GPU is now supported in Tensorflow Well, the installation method doesn't change much.

** * Because it is unofficial, we cannot take responsibility no matter what happens. ** **

I remembered that my Macbook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) had a NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M in addition to the ʻIntel Iris Pro, so I said," 3.0 on Cuda. GPU on Tensorflow. I thought, and when I was looking for a way, there were people who were already doing it overseas, so I will leave the procedure when I referred to it. However, it returns to ver0.6.0 Since it uses bazel, those who have installedpip, Virtualenv , docker` may want to install it from the source first.

• Most of the recent Apple products have Intel or AMD graphics boards, so please check in advance. You can check the specifications from "About This Mac" on the upper left to "System Report".

Maybe the kind you can go

setup

Reference source: Fabrizio Milo @ How to compile tensorflow with CUDA support on OSX

First, install Cuda. I was brew.

$ brew upgrade
$ brew install coreutils
$ brew cask install cuda

Check the version(7.5.Should be 20)
$ brew cask info cuda 

Download the library libCudnn from NVIDIA. (Registration required) https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn. This is the version I downloaded: cudnn-7.0-osx-x64-v4.0-prod.tgz

Move the contents of the downloaded one to the corresponding location of lib and ʻinclude in / usr / local / cuda / `, respectively.

Add the path to .bash_profile

$ vim ~/.bash_profile
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Bring Pull Request # 644 to enable GPU on OS X in Tensorflow repository

$ cd tensorflow
$ git fetch origin pull/664/head:cuda_osx
$ git checkout cuda_osx

Reinstall Tensorflow

If the error says Reason: image not found, it seems that the Cuda library cannot be found, so check the path.

$ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

You should be able to go with this.

Let's try measuring the processing speed with the CNN of "Hiranaga MAIST".

。。。

That.

I prepared the image considering the punch line **, but it got faster. ** **

About 52 minutes with CPU

CPU-MAIST.py

i 19900, training accuracy 1 cross_entropy 0.205204
test accuracy 0.943847

About 21 minutes with GPU.

If various other applications are running, the GPU memory may be quite small in the Free memory: part of the log that appears during execution. If it is too small, an error will occur due to insufficient memory. It's a laptop computer, so I can't help it. It will recover as soon as you drop the application or restart it, so that's right.
