CUDA and cudnn with Pytorch and Tensorflow in one virtual Python environment on your Linux system

One of the problems I recently ran into was the coexistence of Tensorflow2 [TF2] and PyTorch in the very same virtual Python environment. I just wanted to make experiments to compare the performance of some Keras-based models with the TF2-backend on one side and, on the other side, with the PyTorch-backend. My trouble resulted from a mismatch of two CUDA/cudnn… Read More »CUDA and cudnn with Pytorch and Tensorflow in one virtual Python environment on your Linux system

TF 2.16, Keras 3, alternatives for deprecated ImageDataGenerator

These days I started again to work with ResNets and images. To improve accuracy e.g. for classification projects the test on evaluation datasets is the only thing that counts regarding accuracy. One should use some form of data augmentation, best statistically during training, to prevent overfitting of a model. In the past I have often used Keras’ ImageDataGenerator. ImageDatagenerator is… Read More »TF 2.16, Keras 3, alternatives for deprecated ImageDataGenerator

Setting NUMA node to 0 for Nvidia cards on standard Linux PCs

People working on Linux PCs with Tensorflow 2 [TF2] and CUDA may be confronted with warnings complaining a lack of an assignment of their Nvidia graphics card to a NUMA node. This is somewhat enervating as depending on the TF2 version a default entry of “-1” for the NUMA on consumer systems may clatter some of your Jupyter notebook cells… Read More »Setting NUMA node to 0 for Nvidia cards on standard Linux PCs

Installation of CUDA 12.3 and CuDNN 8.9 on Opensuse Leap 15.5 for Machine Learning

Machine Learning on a Linux system is no fun without a GPU and its parallel processing capabilities. On a system with a Nvidia card you need basic Nvidia drivers and additional libraries for optimal support of Deep Neural Networks and Linear Algebra operations on the GPU sub-processors. E.g., Keras and Tensorflow 2 [TF2] use CUDA and cuDNN-libraries on your Nvidia… Read More »Installation of CUDA 12.3 and CuDNN 8.9 on Opensuse Leap 15.5 for Machine Learning
