Question

When I run sess.run(train_step, feed_dict={x: batch_xs, y_: batch_ys}) I get InternalError: Blas SGEMM launch failed. Here is the full error and st

Answer 1

I encountered this error after changing OS to Windows 10 recently, and I never encountered this before when using windows 7.

The error occurs if I load my GPU Tensorflow model when an another GPU program is running; it's my JCuda model loaded as socket server, which is not large. If I close my other GPU program(s), this Tensorflow model can be loaded very successfully.

This JCuda program is not large at all, just around 70M, and in comparison this Tensorflow model is more than 500M and much larger. But I am using 1080 ti, which has much memory. So it would be probably not an out-of-memory progblem, and it would perhaps be some tricky internal issue of Tensorflow regarding OS or Cuda. (PS: I am using Cuda version 8.0.44 and haven't downloaded a newer version.)
