I have geforce mx250 graphics. I dont think i have cuda support. What platform should i run the code.

goldpiggy · August 6, 2020, 5:58pm

Hey @Ali_coder, please see appendix for more info.

StevenJokes · August 7, 2020, 3:18am

@Ali_coder
Recommend my post: Do these before you ask

You can try to google it before you ask. I’m a AMD user, but all Nvidia GPU support cuda in my mind.

If you use mxnet, go to https://mxnet.apache.org/versions/1.6/get_started/

image1157×868 75.8 KB

You can use CPU version or CUDA version in your computer.
Or just use a server

Or just google it:
Can I use MX 250 Graphic Card for basic Deep Learning ?

Then go to the nvidia website:

But you can’t find the CUDA download…

So you just search it, then you find mxnet doesn’t support cuda11 yet.

So you search for

You can select the right Platform for your cuda:

http://preview.d2l.ai/d2l-en/master/chapter_appendix-tools-for-deep-learning/aws.html#Installing%20CUDA

After you installed cuda 10.2 , you can install mxnet:
Example:

Give you an exercise:

use google to install pytorch-gpu locally

Duong_PC · October 15, 2020, 1:16am

Dear All,
Problem with mxnet installation.
I have installed mxnet-cu101==1.7.0 on my ubuntu 18.04, GPU Geforce gtx 1660 Ti. Results show as follows.
Requirement already satisfied: idna<3,>=2.5 in ./anaconda3/envs/d2l/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from requests<3,>=2.20.0->mxnet-cu101==1.7.0) (2.10)
But when I import mxnext it showed errors as follows.

from mxnet import np, npx
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘mxnet’
Could anyone help me, please?
Thanks in advance.

goldpiggy · October 15, 2020, 4:12am

Hi @Duong_PC, anaconda may be a bit tricky. Could you try with miniconda as https://d2l.ai/chapter_installation/index.html#installing-miniconda?

Duong_PC · October 15, 2020, 6:19am

Thank you very much for the quick reply. May I install both anaconda and miniconda? In case I wanna keep using only anaconda, is there any solution for the tricky? Thanks.

StevenJokess · October 15, 2020, 12:14pm

You can use only anaconda.
Only need
conda install what you need

Hi @anish, sorry for the inconvenience. Please follow what the error message suggested:
pip install mxnet==1.7.0.post1

aaekay · October 22, 2020, 1:08am

I am getting the error of “NotJSONError(“Notebook does not appear to be JSON: ‘’…”)”

goldpiggy · October 22, 2020, 5:26pm

Hi @aaekay, it may cause by git conflict or other jupyter issues, check here for potential solutions.

One easiest solution if you haven’t played with the notebooks yet: you can do a git reset --hard origin/master. While please be aware that will remove all the previous history you made to the notebooks, but update your local content as consistent as the origin/master.

Hi
I just switched to a new computer and surprisingly, cannot install mxnet 1.7.0.post1. Does anyone know why?

Please, refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65325177/how-to-solve-numpy-error-while-installing-mxnet.

"
It looks like you need a compiler installed as the package is trying to build some libraries from source. I’d suggest following the advice in this part of the error message, and see if that gets you any further… “”" No module named ‘numpy.distutils._msvccompiler’ in numpy.distutils; trying from distutils error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with “Microsoft C++ Build Tools”: visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools “”" – [James McCorrie] [Dec 16 '20 at 15:22]
"

My problem same as yours was solved with installing “Microsoft C++ Build Tools”.

Hi. I am having trouble to let the plot (chapter 2.4.1) show up . The same problem as here: https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/08/24/resolved-matplotlib-figures-not-showing-up-or-displaying
When I try plain matplotlib without mxnet I see a plot. Does someone know how to fix that? Is there a way to tell the matplotlib in mxnet which backend to use? (is it using a different one than whithout mxnet?) I am using Debian and installed the dependencies with pip and I haven’t conda installed.

Hi, my computer can’t run GPU so i plan to install on Google Colab. Can I do that? If so, please guide me.
