[bwana]

I’ve moved on to using Nvidia-docker. Same performance.

[jacsonrcsilva]

I solved this problem using g+±5 instead of g+±7

[whria78]

The name of local variable cannot be the same of the name of function.

change as follows.

float loss = 0.F;
to
float lloss = 0.F;

change all “loss” to “lloss” the line 559,569,590,602,609 (nvcaffe v0.17.2)

Did you ever figure out a way to get around this problem?

I am just commenting out the section in layer.hpp that deals with it the loss function and seeing what happens. Still building with the make all command. Will let you know how it all turns out…
