I'm working on an Ubuntu 16.04 and I have a little bit old Nvidia 9600 GT graphics card. It's CUDA enabled (1.1 computation capability) though legacy. I'm trying to take advantage of it while using Keras and to do so I followed this guide to install CUDA and this one to install cuDNN. The driver for my graphics card is the 304.104 version and the last CUDA version that supports my graphics card is 6.5. After installation I verified it by typing in the console:
$ nvcc -V

Result = PASS
Then I followed this recommended installation method and this documentation to install Theano as it's capable of operating on my graphics card in comparison to TensorFlow. I created .theanorc
file
[global]
device = cuda0
floatX = float32
[cuda]
root=/usr/local/cuda-6.5/bin/
[dnn]
include_path = /usr/local/cuda-6.5/include/
library_path = /usr/local/cuda-6.5/lib64/
I also exported proper variables to .profile
:
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-6.5/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-6.5/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}
However when I try to run this simple test script:
from theano import function, config, shared, tensor
import numpy
import time
vlen = 10 * 30 * 768 # 10 x #cores x # threads per core
iters = 1000
rng = numpy.random.RandomState(22)
x = shared(numpy.asarray(rng.rand(vlen), config.floatX))
f = function([], tensor.exp(x))
print(f.maker.fgraph.toposort())
t0 = time.time()
for i in range(iters):
r = f()
t1 = time.time()
print("Looping %d times took %f seconds" % (iters, t1 - t0))
print("Result is %s" % (r,))
if numpy.any([isinstance(x.op, tensor.Elemwise) and
('Gpu' not in type(x.op).__name__)
for x in f.maker.fgraph.toposort()]):
print('Used the cpu')
else:
print('Used the gpu')
I receive the following error:
ERROR (theano.gpuarray): Could not initialize pygpu, support disabled

pygpu.gpuarray.GpuArrayException: b'Could not find symbol "cuDevicePrimaryCtxGetState": /usr/lib/libcuda.so.1: undefined symbol: cuDevicePrimaryCtxGetState'
I don't understand this error because in the Nvidia's documentation this function crearly exists. Does anyone have any clue? Can the problem be that I'm using python 3.6 while in the aforementioned documentation there's <
sign before 3.6? Is any o the paths wrong?
