tensorflow -gpu installation method (no need to install cuda yourself, cdnn)

TensorFlow™ is a symbolic mathematical system based on dataflow programming that is widely used for programming implementations of various machine learning algorithms, formerly known as Google's neural network algorithm library DistBelief [1].

Tensorflow has a multi-tier architecture, can be deployed on all kinds of servers, PC terminals and web pages and supports high performance numerical computation on GPUs and TPUs, and is widely used in product development within Google and scientific research in various fields [1-2].

tensorflow -gpu installation

First, install Anoconda

1. official website download click me:

2. Installation

Click python 3.6 version to automatically download the x64 version, download it, and then install it.

I installed python 3.5, you can choose yourselves accordingly!

conda create –n tensorflow python=3.5

3) Activate python environment: activate tensorflow

You can exit the current environment: deactivate tensorflow

Getting to the point: installing tensorflow

**The traditional method is to use pip install, which leads to downloading NVIDIA's cuda support and cdnn library later** **The traditional method is to use pip install, which leads to downloading NVIDIA's cuda support and cdnn library later
**I present here a simple method that does not rely on pip***

In the terminal, type

conda install tensorflow-gpu

2. Look at the contents of the package

As shown in the picture, cuda 9.0 and cdnn 7.1.4 have been automatically installed without having to download them.

3. After installation

Open Anaconda Prompt Test Successful
