could not create cudnn handle: CUDNN_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR

Question

I installed tensorflow 1.0.1 GPU version on my Macbook Pro with GeForce GT 750M. Also installed CUDA 8.0.71 and cuDNN 5.1. I am running a tf code that works fine with non C

Answer 1

This is cudnn compatible issue. Check what you installed that is using the GPU for instance, tensorflow-gpu. What is the version? Is the version compatible with the version of your cudnn and is the cudnn installed the right version for your cuda?.

I have observed that: cuDNN v7.0.3 for Cuda 7.* cuDNN v7.1.2 for Cuda 9.0 cuDNN v7.3.1 for Cuda 9.1 and so on.

So also check the correct version of TensorFlow for your cuda configurations. For instance -using tensorflow-gpu: TF v1.4 for cudnn 7.0.* TF v1.7 and above for cudnn 9.0.*, etc.

So all you need to do is to reinstall the appropriate cudnn version. Hope it helps!
