Caffe是一个深度学习框架,本文讲阐述如何在linux下安装GPU加速的caffe。
系统配置是:

  • OS: Ubuntu14.04
  • CPU: i5-4690
  • GPU: GTX960
  • RAM: 8G

安装方法参见caffe的官方文档:http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html#compilation
依赖项:

  • CUDA:推荐7.0以上的cuda和最新的显卡驱动。
  • BLAS:ATLAS, MKL, or OpenBLAS。C++矩阵运算库。
  • Boost >= 1.55。用到一些数学函数等。
  • protobuf:是一种轻便、高效的结构化数据存储格式,可以用于结构化数据串行化,很适合做数据存储或 RPC 数据交换格式。
  • glog&&gflags:谷歌的一个日志库;命令行参数解析库。方便调试使用。
  • hdf5:
  • lmdb,leveldb:数据库IO。准备数据时会用到。

可选依赖:

  • OpenCV >= 2.4 including 3.0
  • IO libraries: lmdb, leveldb (note: leveldb requires snappy)
  • cuDNN for GPU acceleration (v5)

Pycaffe:
Python 2.7 or Python 3.3+, numpy (>= 1.7), boost-provided boost.python

Matcaffe:
MATLAB with the mex compiler

CUDA维基百科:https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA
CUDA(Compute Unified Device Architecture,统一计算架构)是由NVIDIA所推出的一种集成技术,是该公司对于GPGPU的正式名称。通过这个技术,用户可利用NVIDIA的GeForce 8以后的GPU和较新的Quadro GPU进行计算。亦是首次可以利用GPU作为C-编译器的开发环境。

安装过程

1.下载Cuda

下载CUDA:https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads 选择下载deb包(或者runfile),下载完后用mu5sum检查一下文件是否完整。按照cuda官方文档安装cuda.

2.安装

先关闭桌面显示管理器lightdm,进入字符界面,在字符界面安装cuda。(这是因为cuda的安装包里包含了显卡驱动,安装驱动前要先关闭桌面显示管理器)
(也可分别安装显卡驱动与cuda库)

sudo service stop

切换到deb包目录,执行下面的命令

sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-<distro>_<version>_<architecture>.deb  
sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get install cuda  

然后重启电脑:sudo reboot
注意,cuda的安装包中已经包含了较新版本的显卡驱动。

3.配置环境变量

将cuda安装目录下的bin路径导出到系统的搜索路径path

并使之生效

添加动态库查找路径:在 /etc/ld.so.conf.d/加入文件 cuda.conf, 内容如下

/usr/local/cuda/lib64

保存后,执行下列命令使之立刻生效:

sudo ldconfig

4.验证

查看Cuda的C编译器NVCC的版本:

nvcc -V

编译并运行例子,进入cuda目录下的samples目录,然后在该目录下make,等待十来分钟。编译完成后,可以在Samples里面找到bin/x86_64/linux/release/目录,并切换到该目录
运行deviceQuery程序,查看输出结果如下(重点关注最后一行,Pass表示通过测试)。

5.gcc编译器版本

该版本cuda不支持gcc5.0的编译器

[2]Ubuntu 14.04+cuda 7.5+caffe安装配置 http://blog.csdn.net/ubunfans/article/details/47724341

安装Cudnn

下载cudnn https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-download, 解压,把lib目录,include目录分别复制到cuda的安装目录下。

安装BLAS

install ATLAS by sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev or install OpenBLAS or MKL for better CPU performance.

下载Caffe

安装Caffe依赖库

通用依赖库:

sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev libleveldb-dev libsnappy-dev libopencv-dev libhdf5-serial-dev protobuf-compiler
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends libboost-all-dev

Ubuntu14.04 依赖库:

sudo apt-get install libgflags-dev libgoogle-glog-dev liblmdb-dev

PyCaffe依赖库

进入caffe/python目录,安装依赖项:

for req in $(cat requirements.txt); do pip install $req; done

caffe官网推荐使用Anaconda http://continuum.io/downloads#all Anaconda是一个和Canopy类似的科学计算环境,但用起来更加方便。自带的包管理器conda也很强大。

MatCaffe

安装matlabR2014a
