如何判断tensorflow是否在python shell中使用gpu加速？

Question 1

I have installed tensorflow in my ubuntu 16.04 using the second answer here with ubuntu’s builtin apt cuda installation.

Now my question is how can I test if tensorflow is really using gpu? I have a gtx 960m gpu. When I import tensorflow this is the output

I tensorflow/stream_executor/dso_loader.cc:105] successfully opened CUDA library libcublas.so locally
I tensorflow/stream_executor/dso_loader.cc:105] successfully opened CUDA library libcudnn.so locally
I tensorflow/stream_executor/dso_loader.cc:105] successfully opened CUDA library libcufft.so locally
I tensorflow/stream_executor/dso_loader.cc:105] successfully opened CUDA library libcuda.so.1 locally
I tensorflow/stream_executor/dso_loader.cc:105] successfully opened CUDA library libcurand.so locally

Is this output enough to check if tensorflow is using gpu ?

Question 2

No, I don’t think “open CUDA library” is enough to tell, because different nodes of the graph may be on different devices.

To find out which device is used, you can enable log device placement like this:

sess = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True))

Check your console for this type of output.

Question 3

Apart from using sess = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True)) which is outlined in other answers as well as in the official TensorFlow documentation, you can try to assign a computation to the gpu and see whether you have an error.

import tensorflow as tf
with tf.device('/gpu:0'):
    a = tf.constant([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0], shape=[2, 3], name='a')
    b = tf.constant([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0], shape=[3, 2], name='b')
    c = tf.matmul(a, b)

with tf.Session() as sess:
    print (sess.run(c))

Here

“/cpu:0”: The CPU of your machine.
“/gpu:0”: The GPU of your machine, if you have one.

If you have a gpu and can use it, you will see the result. Otherwise you will see an error with a long stacktrace. In the end you will have something like this:

Cannot assign a device to node ‘MatMul’: Could not satisfy explicit device specification ‘/device:GPU:0’ because no devices matching that specification are registered in this process

Recently a few helpful functions appeared in TF:

tf.test.is_gpu_available tells if the gpu is available
tf.test.gpu_device_name returns the name of the gpu device

You can also check for available devices in the session:

with tf.Session() as sess:
  devices = sess.list_devices()

devices will return you something like

[_DeviceAttributes(/job:tpu_worker/replica:0/task:0/device:CPU:0, CPU, -1, 4670268618893924978),
 _DeviceAttributes(/job:tpu_worker/replica:0/task:0/device:XLA_CPU:0, XLA_CPU, 17179869184, 6127825144471676437),
 _DeviceAttributes(/job:tpu_worker/replica:0/task:0/device:XLA_GPU:0, XLA_GPU, 17179869184, 16148453971365832732),
 _DeviceAttributes(/job:tpu_worker/replica:0/task:0/device:TPU:0, TPU, 17179869184, 10003582050679337480),
 _DeviceAttributes(/job:tpu_worker/replica:0/task:0/device:TPU:1, TPU, 17179869184, 5678397037036584928)

Question 4

Following piece of code should give you all devices available to tensorflow.

from tensorflow.python.client import device_lib
print(device_lib.list_local_devices())

Sample Output

[name: “/cpu:0” device_type: “CPU” memory_limit: 268435456 locality { } incarnation: 4402277519343584096,

name: “/gpu:0” device_type: “GPU” memory_limit: 6772842168 locality { bus_id: 1 } incarnation: 7471795903849088328 physical_device_desc: “device: 0, name: GeForce GTX 1070, pci bus id: 0000:05:00.0” ]

Question 5

I think there is an easier way to achieve this.

import tensorflow as tf
if tf.test.gpu_device_name():
    print('Default GPU Device: {}'.format(tf.test.gpu_device_name()))
else:
    print("Please install GPU version of TF")

It usually prints like

Default GPU Device: /device:GPU:0

This seems easier to me rather than those verbose logs.

Question 6

Tensorflow 2.0

Sessions are no longer used in 2.0. Instead, one can use tf.test.is_gpu_available:

import tensorflow as tf

assert tf.test.is_gpu_available()
assert tf.test.is_built_with_cuda()

If you get an error, you need to check your installation.

Question 7

This will confirm that tensorflow using GPU while training also ?

Code

sess = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True))

Output

I tensorflow/core/common_runtime/gpu/gpu_device.cc:885] Found device 0 with properties:

Question 8

In addition to other answers, the following should help you to make sure that your version of tensorflow includes GPU support.

import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.test.is_built_with_cuda())

Question 9

Ok, first launch an ipython shell from the terminal and import TensorFlow:

$ ipython --pylab
Python 3.6.5 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)| (default, Apr 29 2018, 16:14:56) 
Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information
IPython 6.4.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Type '?' for help.
Using matplotlib backend: Qt5Agg

In [1]: import tensorflow as tf

Now, we can watch the GPU memory usage in a console using the following command:

# realtime update for every 2s
$ watch -n 2 nvidia-smi

Since we’ve only imported TensorFlow but have not used any GPU yet, the usage stats will be:

Notice how the GPU memory usage is very less (~ 700MB); Sometimes the GPU memory usage might even be as low as 0 MB.

Now, let’s load the GPU in our code. As indicated in tf documentation, do:

In [2]: sess = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True))

Now, the watch stats should show an updated GPU usage memory as below:

Observe now how our Python process from the ipython shell is using ~ 7 GB of the GPU memory.

P.S. You can continue watching these stats as the code is running, to see how intense the GPU usage is over time.

Question 10

This should give the list of devices available for Tensorflow (under Py-3.6):

tf = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True))
tf.list_devices()
# _DeviceAttributes(/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:CPU:0, CPU, 268435456)

Question 11

I prefer to use nvidia-smi to monitor GPU usage. if it goes up significantly when you start you program, it’s a strong sign that your tensorflow is using GPU.

Question 12

With the recent updates of Tensorflow, you can check it as follow :

tf.test.is_gpu_available( cuda_only=False, min_cuda_compute_capability=None)

This will return True if GPU is being used by Tensorflow, and return False otherwise.

If you want device device_name you can type : tf.test.gpu_device_name(). Get more details from here

Question 13

Run the following in Jupyter,

import tensorflow as tf
sess = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True))

If you’ve set up your environment properly, you’ll get the following output in the terminal where you ran “jupyter notebook”,

2017-10-05 14:51:46.335323: I c:\tf_jenkins\home\workspace\release-win\m\windows-gpu\py\35\tensorflow\core\common_runtime\gpu\gpu_device.cc:1030] Creating TensorFlow device (/gpu:0) -> (device: 0, name: Quadro K620, pci bus id: 0000:02:00.0)

/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/gpu:0 -> device: 0, name: Quadro K620, pci bus id: 0000:02:00.0

You can see here I’m using TensorFlow with an Nvidia Quodro K620.

Question 14

I find just querying the gpu from the command line is easiest:

nvidia-smi

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

if your learning is a background process the pid from jobs -p should match the pid from nvidia-smi

Question 15

You can check if you are currently using the GPU by running the following code:

import tensorflow as tf
tf.test.gpu_device_name()

If the output is '', it means you are using CPU only;
If the output is something like that /device:GPU:0, it means GPU works.

And use the following code to check which GPU you are using:

from tensorflow.python.client import device_lib 
device_lib.list_local_devices()

Question 16

Put this near the top of your jupyter notebook. Comment out what you don’t need.

# confirm TensorFlow sees the GPU
from tensorflow.python.client import device_lib
assert 'GPU' in str(device_lib.list_local_devices())

# confirm Keras sees the GPU (for TensorFlow 1.X + Keras)
from keras import backend
assert len(backend.tensorflow_backend._get_available_gpus()) > 0

# confirm PyTorch sees the GPU
from torch import cuda
assert cuda.is_available()
assert cuda.device_count() > 0
print(cuda.get_device_name(cuda.current_device()))

NOTE: With the release of TensorFlow 2.0, Keras is now included as part of the TF API.

Originally answerwed here.

Question 17

For Tensorflow 2.0

import tensorflow as tf

tf.test.is_gpu_available(
    cuda_only=False,
    min_cuda_compute_capability=None
)

source here

other option is:

tf.config.experimental.list_physical_devices('GPU')

Question 18

UPDATE FOR TENSORFLOW >= 2.1.

The recommended way in which to check if TensorFlow is using GPU is the following:

tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU')

As of TensorFlow 2.1, tf.test.gpu_device_name() has been deprecated in favour of the aforementioned.

Then, in the terminal you can use nvidia-smi to check how much GPU memory has been alloted; at the same time, using watch -n K nvidia-smi would tell you for example every K seconds how much memory you are using (you may want to use K = 1 for real-time)

Question 19

This is the line I am using to list devices available to tf.session directly from bash:

python -c "import os; os.environ['TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL'] = '3'; import tensorflow as tf; sess = tf.Session(); [print(x) for x in sess.list_devices()]; print(tf.__version__);"

It will print available devices and tensorflow version, for example:

_DeviceAttributes(/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:CPU:0, CPU, 268435456, 10588614393916958794)
_DeviceAttributes(/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:XLA_GPU:0, XLA_GPU, 17179869184, 12320120782636586575)
_DeviceAttributes(/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:XLA_CPU:0, XLA_CPU, 17179869184, 13378821206986992411)
_DeviceAttributes(/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:GPU:0, GPU, 32039954023, 12481654498215526877)
1.14.0

Question 20

I found below snippet is very handy to test the gpu ..

Tensorflow 2.0 Test

import tensorflow as tf
import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
tf.disable_v2_behavior()
with tf.device('/gpu:0'):
    a = tf.constant([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0], shape=[2, 3], name='a')
    b = tf.constant([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0], shape=[3, 2], name='b')
    c = tf.matmul(a, b)

with tf.Session() as sess:
    print (sess.run(c))

Tensorflow 1 Test

import tensorflow as tf
with tf.device('/gpu:0'):
    a = tf.constant([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0], shape=[2, 3], name='a')
    b = tf.constant([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0], shape=[3, 2], name='b')
    c = tf.matmul(a, b)

with tf.Session() as sess:
    print (sess.run(c))

Question 21

The following will also return the name of your GPU devices.

import tensorflow as tf
tf.test.gpu_device_name()

Question 22

With tensorflow 2.0 >=

import tensorflow as tf
sess = tf.compat.v1.Session(config=tf.compat.v1.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True))

Question 23

You have some options to test whether GPU acceleration is being used by your TensorFlow installation.

You can type in the following commands in three different platforms.

import tensorflow as tf
sess = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True))

Jupyter Notebook – Check the console which is running the Jupyter Notebook. You will be able to see the GPU being used.
Python Shell – You will be able to directly see the output. (Note- do not assign the output of the second command to the variable ‘sess’; if that helps).
Spyder – Type in the following command in the console.

import tensorflow as tf tf.test.is_gpu_available()

Question 24

Tensorflow 2.1

A simple calculation that can be verified with nvidia-smi for memory usage on the GPU.

import tensorflow as tf 

c1 = []
n = 10

def matpow(M, n):
    if n < 1: #Abstract cases where n < 1
        return M
    else:
        return tf.matmul(M, matpow(M, n-1))

with tf.device('/gpu:0'):
    a = tf.Variable(tf.random.uniform(shape=(10000, 10000)), name="a")
    b = tf.Variable(tf.random.uniform(shape=(10000, 10000)), name="b")
    c1.append(matpow(a, n))
    c1.append(matpow(b, n))

Question 25

>>> import tensorflow as tf 
>>> tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU')

Question 26

If you are using TensorFlow 2.0, you can use this for loop to show the devices:

with tf.compat.v1.Session() as sess:
  devices = sess.list_devices()
devices

Question 27

if you are using tensorflow 2.x use:

sess = tf.compat.v1.Session(config=tf.compat.v1.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True))

Question 28

Run this command in Jupyter or your IDE to check if Tensorflow is using a GPU or not: tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU')
