May work with CUDA 9, cuDNN 7, but is untested.
Please share your test results if you tried : ]
I'm not sure if TensorFlow works with CUDA 9.1 at all. I tried CUDA 9.2 with tf r1.9 and r1.10, which failed (using tf.app.run) because tf was looking for libcublas.so.9.0 by name but got libcublas.so.9.2. I suspect it should fail also with 9.1.
@zhanwenchen hmmm, sounds more like your cuda installation or pathing is atypical or broken. This also sounds like maybe you've installed more than one cuda version (side-by-side; possible, but very tricky), or maybe upgraded cuda without fully uninstalling your existing cuda assets?
Tensorflow definitely does support 9.1, that's what I'm running after all, and I've been using CUDA 9.1 since tf 1.8. There are also many other wheels compiled for 9.1. I may be wrong, but I feel like you can use tf built for cuda 9 with 9.1 as well.
If you do consider reinstalling cuda, remember to always get the net package, not the normal download, since the net package is always up to date with current kernels.
It seems I need to verify building with CUDA 9.1. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with 9.2 because I reinstalled Ubuntu when I tried that.
I confirm its not working with CUDA 9.1 because tensorflow 1.10 is looking for libs 9.0:

I am trying to replace all the required libs
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcublas.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcublas.so.9.0
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcusolver.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcusolver.so.9.0
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcudart.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcudart.so.9.0
And now I'm stuck with libcudnn. I will dowload it later but interesting to know if you guys find a better solution than this ln
workaround.
@ltupin exactly what happened to me. @evdcush at this point I'm pretty sure it's not a CUDA installation/version error as the only CUDA I ever installed was 9.2.
But to answer initial question it works with cuda9. 0.
I'm having the same problem as @zhanwenchen . Guess I'll just go to 9.0
At this point I'm sure that tensorflow-gpu doesn't support anything other than CUDA 9.0. The reason anyone is not getting errors is that they had already had CUDA 9.0 before 9.1. Under the hood, even though tf might be compiled with 9.1, it is actually using 9.0 because "libcublas.so.9.0" is hard-coded in tf. I encountered this problem because in my installation I ever only installed 9.2 - no 9.0.
Shameless plug: I wrote guides on installing CUDA 9.0 or building tf with CUDA.
tensorflow-gpu absolutely does support CUDA 9.1.
My system had a clean install to 9.1 from no prior installation. It most likely is your CUDA installation procedure, and whether you locked down your package version installation or not, properly linked cuDNN, put all the right exports to paths in your shell config file, and what sort of python environment you are working with (whether it be system-site-packages, or virtualenv or conda or pyenv shims). It's not a trivial operation, but once you have done this a million times, it's not complicated.
You can see plenty of CUDA 9.1 whls at tinymind's optimized wheel releases. In fact, the only reason I started building my own custom wheels was that both this community-wheels project and mind/wheels were rarely updated, and community-wheels has more non-linux and non-modern CPU instruction sets, rarely has MKL or CUDA 9.1
I found this work : https://github.com/Saqsy/Tensorflow/releases but dont really want to try it :-D
As we can see on tensorflow team works, for TF1.10 on docker they are using CUDA9.0: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/tools/docker/Dockerfile.gpu
So as @zhanwenchen said, if it works, that probably mean we have CUDA9.0 pieces somewhere. As I am building it in a container use-case (jupyter notebook) I can ensure that I start from a clean installation.
@evdcush could you please details your installation steps for build ? I found your wheel but I am very interesting to see how you did it :-D (https://github.com/evdcush/TensorFlow-wheels)
@ltupin Sure! I am assuming you meant my TF build steps, but did you mean my installation steps for building CUDA/cuDNN, or my dev environment?
Since my tf build steps likely depend on my CUDA build and python environment, I'll include those steps as well, for my hardware setup: Core i7-7700, GTX 1070.
./configure
build steps./configure
steps is generally not necessary. If you want to build tensorflow for whatever your optimization flags are, you can simply call bazel build
with the flags you want. eg:CPU only, with SSE4.1/4.2, AVX, FMA:
bazel build -c opt --copt=-msse4.1 --copt=-msse4.2 --copt=-mavx --copt=-mfma //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
Of course, if you just wanted to optimize for your CPU, you only need -c opt --copt=-march="native" ...
And if you wanted to optimize tf for a different machine than the machine that builds it (in my case, for when I build TF for my ancient thinkpads), you can specify the target intel cpu generation and it will optimize for that hardware:
CPU, optimized for ivybridge (SSE4.1/4.2, AVX), with MKL:
bazel build -c opt --copt=-march="ivybridge" --config=mkl //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
Now for the nuts and bolts of my environment and build process:
Disclaimer: All steps detailed are from my own personal notes, and not intended to be generalized beyond my needs and assumptions.
#==== CUDA
# download network deb, since local deb does not always have latest kernel support
sudo apt remove --purge nvidia* cuda*
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_9.1.85-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
sudo apt update
sudo apt install cuda-9-1 # CRITICAL, DO NOT INSTALL `cuda`
# add the following lines to your .zshrc
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.1/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.1/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}
reboot
#==== cuDNN
# the .deb installation never works, just do the tar file method:
tar -xzvf cudnn-9.1-linux-x64-v7.1.tgz;
sudo cp cuda/include/cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda/include;
sudo cp cuda/lib64/libcudnn* /usr/local/cuda/lib64;
sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda/lib64/libcudnn*;
# Confirm installation:
# cat /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn.h | grep CUDNN_MAJOR -A 2 # for confirm
# nvcc -V # for confirm

#==== Pyenv
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash;
# Add the following lines to your .zshrc
export PATH="/home/evan/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"

pyenv virtualenv 3.6.6 ^ # whatever name you want for your env
# Activate virtualenv and install typical pip packages
pyenv local ^ # executed in home
pip install numpy scipy sklearn matplotlib ipython jupyter wheel
Now install the stuff needed to build tf from source:
#==== Bazel
# Install bazel, follow instructions here:
https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/install-ubuntu.html#install-on-ubuntu
#==== TF
# clone TF repo:
git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow && cd tensorflow
And finally, here are my notes/steps on building tensorflow (with the successfully installed CUDA 9.1, cuDNN 7.1):

--config=mkl # Build with MKL support.
--config=monolithic # Config for mostly static monolithic build.
Configuration finished
That's my configuration for the TF version featured here. Some clarifications on certain lines:
For the CUDA 9.1 location part:
Please specify the location where CUDA 9.1 toolkit is installed. Refer to README.md for more details. [Default is /usr/local/cuda]:
If you've installed 9.1, you also have a folder /usr/local/cuda-9.1
Do not specify this location. /usr/local/cuda
already links to your cuda 9.1 installation. You can double-check this at vi /usr/local/cuda/version.txt
For the optimization flags line:
Please specify optimization flags to use during compilation when bazel option "--config=opt" is specified [Default is -march=native]:
I leave it blank for -march=native
, which automatically selects the optimization flags based on my CPU's instruction-set (which is skylake).
Now for the build.
# Bazel build/compile. This can take 20 min
bazel build --config=opt --config=mkl //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
# Build pip package to the location you want, I choose home dir
bazel-bin/tensorflow/tools/pip_package/build_pip_package ~/
And finally, installing the pip package:
# Navigate to output dir of pip build, home for me
cd
pip install --no-cache-dir tensorflow-1.10.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl
