Attempting to register factory for plugin cuRAND when one has already been registered

As I import tensorflow I get:

import tensorflow

2019-06-01 17:36:53.943387: E tensorflow/stream_executor/cuda/cuda_rng.cc:255] Unable to register cuRAND factory: Attempting to register factory for plugin cuRAND when one has already been registered

Is this a warning that I can ignore, or do I need to solve something? As far as I can tell, CUDA and the toolkit are correctly installed and TF can use the GPU.

Thanks!

A few questions:

  • What version of TensorFlow is this?
  • Is it a pre-built version or did you build it yourself?
  • Is there anything else previously imported before import tensorflow? A complete reproducer would be helpful.

Thanks,
Cliff

Hi

  • I’m running Tensorflow (gpu) 1.13.1 (as per “pip show tensorflow”)
  • It is a pre-built version
  • No other imports necessary for the message to appear. For example, if the very first thing I type after loading python is “import tensorflow” then the message appears.

Some more data:

I’m running Ubuntu 18.04.

Many thanks!

TF 1.13.1 from Google is built with and requires CUDA 10.0 (see 使用 pip 安装 TensorFlow ), not 10.1 – do you maybe have both Toolkits installed? If not, please also install CUDA 10.0. (You can keep the newer driver, though.)

Or you can use our NGC TensorFlow container from ngc.nvidia.com, which takes care of all of this for you.

Hope this helps!

Got it.
