我正在运行kaggle_otto_nn.py的{​​{1}} Keras,后端为theano。当我设置cnmem=1时,会出现以下错误:

cliu@cliu-ubuntu:keras-examples$ THEANO_FLAGS=mode=FAST_RUN,device=gpu,floatX=float32,lib.cnmem=1 python kaggle_otto_nn.py

HINT: Re-running with most Theano optimization disabled could give you a back-trace of when this node was created. This can be done with by setting the Theano flag 'optimizer=fast_compile'. If that does not work, Theano optimizations can be disabled with 'optimizer=None'.
HINT: Use the Theano flag 'exception_verbosity=high' for a debugprint and storage map footprint of this apply node.

似乎我无法将cnmem设置为非常大的值(大约> 0.9),因为它可能会导致GPU的内存溢出。当我设置cnmem=0.9时,它的工作正常。根据{{​​3}},它

  

表示内存池的起始大小(以MB或MB内存总量的百分比表示)。

  

这可能会导致内存碎片。因此,如果在使用cnmem时出现内存错误,请尝试在开始时分配更多内存或禁用它。如果您尝试此操作,请报告结果:ref theano-dev

但是如果我遇到内存错误,为什么我应该在开始时分配更多内存?在我的情况下,在开始时分配更多内存似乎导致错误。

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:6)

这个问题是基于this解决的。

如上所示herecnmem实际上只允许被指定为float

  

0:未启用。

     

0&lt; N <= 1:使用总GPU内存的这一部分(为驱动程序内存剪裁为.95)。

     

&GT; 1:以兆字节(MB)的内存使用此数字。

如果cnmem=1.0代替cnmem=1,它将会有效。
