Step by Step Ubuntu下GPU测试Theano

刚刚开始学习Deep Learning

OS:Ubuntu 14.04 CPU:I7-4700MQ GPU:GT 750M

是在这个网站下学习的：http://deeplearning.net

安装Theano：http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/install.html#install安装过程很简单，一步一步做就行了。

使用GPU测试Theano，复制下面的python代码，自建一个py文件：

from theano import function, config, shared, sandbox
import theano.tensor as T
import numpy
import time

vlen = 10 * 30 * 768  # 10 x #cores x # threads per core
iters = 1000

rng = numpy.random.RandomState(22)
x = shared(numpy.asarray(rng.rand(vlen), config.floatX))
f = function([], T.exp(x))
print f.maker.fgraph.toposort()
t0 = time.time()
for i in xrange(iters):
    r = f()
t1 = time.time()
print 'Looping %d times took' % iters, t1 - t0, 'seconds'
print 'Result is', r
if numpy.any([isinstance(x.op, T.Elemwise) for x in f.maker.fgraph.toposort()]):
    print 'Used the cpu'
else:
    print 'Used the gpu'

 以下是执行结果：

THEANO_FLAGS=mode=FAST_RUN,device=cpu,floatX=float32 python check1.py
[Elemwise{exp,no_inplace}(<TensorType(float32, vector)>)]
Looping 1000 times took 2.16374897957 seconds
Result is [ 1.23178029  1.61879337  1.52278066 ...,  2.20771813  2.29967761
  1.62323284]
Used the cpu

  1.62323296]
Used the gpu

对比以上结果：

1）执行命令中：前者device=cpu，或者device=gpu

2）显示结果中，比较明显的不同是：Used the cpu计算时间超过2秒，同样的文件Used the gpu计算时间仅用了0.53秒

另外，在我自己执行的过程中，遇到一个问题：

THEANO_FLAGS=mode=FAST_RUN,device=gpu,floatX=float32 python check1.py
WARNING (theano.sandbox.cuda): CUDA is installed, but device gpu is not available  (error: Unable to get the number of gpus available: unknown error)

  1.62323284]
Used the cpu

执行命令是device=gpu，但是执行结果出现error，并且计算使用的是cpu。

error显示是不能获得可用的gpu，其实是权限问题，只要在执行命令前加上sudo，就可以了。
