CUDA ToolKit

Go to http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads to download CUDA Toolkit 11.3 and install.

cuDNN

Go to https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-archive to download cuDNN and unzip it.

Copy the decompressed lib, bin, include to the directory corresponding to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.1.

Copy cusolver64_11.dll under C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.1\bin and rename it to cusolver64_10.dll.

Miniconda

Go to https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html to download and install Miniconda.

Virtual environment

Open Anaconda Powershell Prompt

Create a virtual environment called tensorflow.

1
2
$ conda create -n tensorflow python=3.8.5
$ conda activate tensorflow

Note: If you use Power Sehll, you need to execute conda init powershell and set-executionpolicy remotesigned, otherwise there will be a problem of failing to successfully activate activate, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62082873/conda -not-activate-in-power-shell

Run TensorFlow in JupyterLab

1
jupyter lab

JupyterLab will be automatically opened in a browser.

Download and import CNN notebook from https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/images/cnn.

Restart Kernel and Run All Cells

When the train is running, check GPU processes, you can see ...nvs\tensorflow\python.exe, which means that the GPU is being used to train the model.

Install VSCode

Go to Official Website to download and install VSCode.

Open VSCode and install Python support.

Open the created ~/tensorflow-notebook/01-hello/hello.ipynb, and select Python as the created virtual environment.

Run TensorFlow in VSCode

Summary

At this point, the deep learning environment has been set up. You can choose to use the command line, JupyterLab or VSCode for development according to your own habits.
