Installation errors with CUDNN v5

[iNeil77]

I have cuda v7.5 and cudnn v5 installed and upon having pre-installed the necessary dependencies through apt-get and pip, I proceeded to make all in my caffe master directory with my makefile config having USE_CUDNN := 1 set, which led to the following error. Can anybody tell me where am I going wrong?
Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure that cuDNN v5 isn't supported yet. I think caffe is still on v3. cuDNN v4 is the current supported version.

See #3919

[naibaf7]

@iNeil77
cuDNN V4/V5 is supported (unofficially though) on https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/opencl
Otherwise as @seanbell pointed out, you have to go to V3 or wait for #3919 to be merged (or make a fork and merge that PR in yourself).

[flx42]

cuDNN v4 works fine with the master branch, since December. I don't know why people keep saying it doesn't :)
It's just that there is no cuDNN BN layer, but you will benefit from all the performance improvements from v4.

[samchorlton]

iNeil77 did you manage to fix this in the end? If so how as I have the exact same problem? (I have tried version 3,4 and 5

[iNeil77]

@samchorlton No I needed it setup quickly, so I just proceeded to install with v3

[flx42]

@samchorlton @iNeil77 again, v4 works fine too. If that's not the case you have a problem with your setup.

[iNeil77]

Didnt try v4, just stuck to what everyone says works

[shelhamer]

To reiterate, cuDNN v4 works perfectly fine as of #3439 in Dec. 2015 as @flx42 noted.

[atticcas]

Since I am using bleeding edge Theano, they force me to upgrade to v5, any way to make caffe to work with v5?

[flx42]

@atticcas you will need this PR: #3919

[atticcas]

MANY THANKS!
wonder why this hasn't been pulled to master yet.
Lets see what happens after I pull those three commits.

I met the same error

[youngwanLEE]

I also met this same error. What should I do? eventually, I have to re-install ubuntu14.04 and start at the beginning?? :(

it now support cudnnv4 not v5

[Clayton-Davis]

just using V4 worked for me

[flx42]

@Clayton-Davis v5 is supported now actually

[ghost]

@flx42 Really? I will have a try now. Thank you for the inform.

[oztc]

@RuiLiu1217 v5 can work ?

[oztc]

@flx42 when I run v5, it reports the error:
-- Performing Test BLAS_F2C_DOUBLE_WORKS - Failed

-- Performing Test BLAS_F2C_FLOAT_WORKS

after I change to v4, make runtest can go through properly.

[ekcheng]

Can someone point me to the commit(s) that made cuDNN v5 work?

[lukeyeager]

@ekcheng: #4159

@ekcheng

You can try this fork and let me know if it suffices.
