Hello, I am getting an error when I want to run TensorFlow in the compute node of AI DevCloud.

Answer:

Here the problem is with gcc version. Please use gcc 6.4.0 for the installation of tensorflow.

Below are the steps to install Intel optimized tensorflow in conda environment.

conda create -n tf_1.10 -c intel python=3.6
 
source activate tf_1.10

Make sure the following lines are there in the bash_profile and source it.

export CC=/glob/development-tools/versions/gcc-6.4.0/bin/gcc
 

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/glob/development-tools/versions/gcc-6.4.0/lib64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 

export PATH=/glob/development-tools/versions/gcc-6.4.0/bin/:$PATH
 

If the path setting was successful, you should be able to see the gcc version 6.4.0 on typing gcc --version

If you get the error ImportError: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.23' not found, please follow the steps below:

mkdir ~/lib
 
cd ~/lib
 
ln -s /glob/supplementary-software/versions/glibc/glibc_2_28/lib/libm.so.6

Then export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for it:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Then, install tensorflow 1.10 using: pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/intel-optimized-tensorflow/tensorflow-1.10.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl
