Nano with jetpack 4.3 can't find gpu with tensorflow 2.1

I am going through a lot of struggle getting my nano to work with tensorflow. Today i managed to install Tensorflow 2.1, on a nano with a fresh install of jetpack 4.3. Sadly, TensorFlow doesn’t detect the gpu :( I am doing this:

gpus = tf.config.list_physical_devices(‘GPU’)
print(“gpus:”, gpus)

gpus =

is the result :(

Please help! I need the GPU!

After more investigation, it turns out that the nano GPU is handled as a ‘XLA_GPU’ by TensorFlow 2.1. XLA means ‘Accelerated Linear Algebra’. This is some kind of optimised form of a generic GPU for ‘mobile devices’ as far as i can tell. Maybe good, but why does asking for ‘GPU’ not include ‘XLA_GPU’ devices?
Troublesome…

Hi,

Which TensorFlow package do you install?
Do you follow the steps listed in this document?

Thanks.

Yes i did follow nvidia’s instructions to install the latest tensorflow version that is compatible with jetpack v43. This turned out to be tf 2.1.

Hi,

Thanks for your report.
We are going to reproduce this and will update more information with you later.

Thanks.

I have the idea that the nano is doing the tensorflow operations quite quickly, at least faster than purely on a CPU. With tegrastats i can see that the GPU load is around 25%.

See here the typical output from one of my tensorflow based programs. As you can see, many libraries failed to load. libcuda.so did load however.

Hi,

Could not load dynamic library ‘libnvinfer.so.6’; dlerror: libnvinfer.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Based on the log, the error is caused by a missing library.
Could you check if the libnvinfer.so.6 do exist on your environment first?

Thanks.

I am away from that system now, but once i get to it, i will have a look. Where should all the missing libraries normally be present?

Hi,

The library should under /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/.

/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libnvinfer.so.6
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libnvinfer.so.6.0.1

Thanks.
