in pytorch, cuda.is_availbale(), but every operation fails with out of memory










1















I've set up a new virtual machine (on GCP) with a K80 GPU on Ubuntu 16.
Followed installation instructions for the CUDA toolkit 9.1



nvidia-smi returns correctly:
NVIDIA-SMI 390.12 Driver Version: 390.12
...



in pytorch, cuda.is_available() returns True,
but any operation fails:



torch.randn(10).cuda() ==>

RuntimeError: cuda runtime error (2) : out of memory at /opt/conda/conda-
bld/pytorch_1512378422383/work/torch/lib/THC/generic/THCStorage.cu:58


What am I missing in the installation?

          1. sometimes the GPU memory is occupied by the previous operation to free up the memory the IDE kernel (spyder/spyder3) can be restarted or restart your PC.

          2. try the code with sudo command if you are using Ubuntu.

          hope it works for you as well.
