is NVCaffe compatible with Caffe?

Accelerated Computing NGC GPU Cloud Container: NVCaffe
1

I got a pretrained model with DIGITS:19.03-caffe. I could run it with NVCaffe:19.03-py2. But it was not run with Caffe, which has been installed with conda. (caffe-gpu 1.0 py27h999e8d7_5). I matched the google protobuf version to 3.6.0.

Here are snippets from logs when executing ‘net = caffe.Classifier(MODEL, PRETRAINED, channel_swap=(2,1,0), raw_scale=255)’

To run NVCaffe models on Caffe you’d need to use

store_blobs_in_old_format: true

when you train and snapshot.
