I tried exporting or using os.environ but they don't work. The code i am using is https://github.com/pangyupo/mxnet_mtcnn_face_detection

[szha]

#7988 ought to do it.

[yxchng]

@szha I don't quite understand how to use #7988. How should I solve the problem?

[szha]

Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was that once that PR is merged the problem should be resolved. Let's wait for that PR to get in first.

[stupidZZ]

I have the same problems for that.

[kli-casia]

@yxchng did you save this problem, i am also using mtcnn mxnet

[guker]

export MXNET_CUDNN_AUTOTUNE_DEFALUT=0, it is ok

[jrzaurin]

Hi there

I am on Ubuntu 16.04.3 using conda 4.4.2 and Python 2.7.14

I see the same error even after export MXNET_CUDNN_AUTOTUNE_DEFALUT=0

ubuntu@ip-10-0-0-14:$ export MXNET_CUDNN_AUTOTUNE_DEFALUT=0
ubuntu@ip-10-0-0-14:$ python fine_tune_vgg.py --vgg nets/vgg16 --checkpoints checkpoints --prefix vggnet

Any news on how to solve this?

@jrzaurin This bug should have already been fixed by the PR mentioned above. Which version of mxnet are you using? Would you be able to upgrade to 1.0?

[jrzaurin]

@szha

In fact I am using

In [2]: mxnet.__version__
Out[2]: '0.11.0'

which I installed via:
pip install mxnet-cu80==0.11.0

(opencv and graphviz where already installed)

I upgraded to cuDNN v6.0 but I doubt that has something to do (?)

Overall: Ubuntu 16.04.3, conda 4.4.2, Python 2.7.14 and mxnet 0.11 and I see the same message (I am running it as I write and is there) and it runs very very slow on a tiny dataset (Stanford Cars Dataset)

so...any idea is appreciated, Thanks!

[szha]

The latest version of mxnet is mxnet-cu80==1.0.0.post2. Would you be able to try out this version?

[jrzaurin]

@szha

Hey thanks!

I did not know about the mxnet-cu80==1.0.0, updated on my p2 instance (Tesla K80) and my mac and the message is gone, so I assume that problem solved 👍

Still runs very slow, but I am sure this is something on my side...so, regarding to the MXNET_CUDNN_AUTOTUNE_DEFALUT message, the solution was to upgrade:

pip install mxnet-cu80==1.0.0

and the message disappeared

thanks!

EDIT
@szha

just updated to mxnet-cu80==1.0.1 and:

train_net.py:92: DeprecationWarning: mxnet.model.FeedForward has been deprecated. Please use mxnet.mod.Module instead.
  begin_epoch=10)

The first 3 lines are just DeprecationWarning, but the final one is again the MXNET_CUDNN_AUTOTUNE_DEFAULT message even though is set to 0. Anyway, All seems to work fine, and it runs in decent times.

I am just saying in case is useful.
