[Solved] theano-GPU Error: pygpu.gpuarray.GpuArrayException: b‘cuMemAlloc: CUDA_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY: out of memory

Project scenario:

l2t code needs to use theano library and GPU to accelerate calculation

Non root user ubuntu-18.04 + cuda8 0 (you need to downgrade GCC to match, I’ll configure it as 5.3) + cudnn V5 1+theano 1.0.4+pygpu 0.7.6

HINT: Re-running with most Theano optimization disabled could give you a back-trace of when this node was created. This can be done with by setting the Theano flag 'optimizer=fast_compile'. If that does not work, Theano optimizations can be disabled with 'optimizer=None'.
HINT: Use the Theano flag 'exception_verbosity=high' for a debugprint and storage map footprint of this apply node.

 

Solution:

Reduce gpu__preallocate, I reduced it to 0.8, and optimize it with a small amount of graphs according to the hint when the error is reported
