Invalid Device Function

[kelvinxu]

I am getting a similar problem #138, running make runtest.

Was anyone else able to resolve this issue?

invalid device function indicates that you have a CUDA / GPU incompatibility. It could be

• nvcc isn't compiling Caffe for the architecture of your card. see Makefile.config to set your arch.
• your GPU is too old
• your CUDA driver is too old

Please continue the discussion on the caffe-users mailing list. As of the latest release we prefer to keep issues reserved for Caffe development. Thanks!

I am facing a similar error. @Shelmar using latest CUDA version (8.0) with enabled GPU Nvidia Geforce 820M. How to change the CUDA arch.
