TensorRT-4.0.0.3 samples cause core dumped

AI & Deep Learning Libraries and SDKs TensorRT
#1

Hi,

When I run sampleMNIST which was built successfully on my notebook I got a core dumped as follows.

ERROR: createConstants (243) - Cask Error in ../builder/caskConvolutionTraits.cpp: 0 (initDeviceReservedSpace)
ERROR: createConstants (243) - Cask Error in ../builder/caskConvolutionTraits.cpp: 0 (initDeviceReservedSpace)
sample_mnist: sampleMNIST.cpp:64: void caffeToGIEModel(const string&, const string&, const std::vector<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char> >&, unsigned int, nvinfer1::IHostMemory*&): Assertion `engine' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

Unfortunately, I got the same core dumped when I run other samples.

However samples works on my GTX1070.

Is TensorRT incompatible with my notebook’s GPU?

I have the same issue on a Laptop with a Quadro M2000M using the driver version 384.81. The same driver version works fine on a GeForce GTX 1080.

I too tried running TensorRT 4.0 samples on my Dell laptop(quadro M1200) and see the same error:

Anyone who knows the reason/ solution?
