cuDNN Execution Plan Failure Warning in PyTorch 2.3.0 with CUDA 11.8 and cuDNN 8.7

[Flllllying]

Description

When running certain operations in PyTorch, I'm encountering the following warnings:

UserWarning: Plan failed with a cudnnException: 
CUDNN_BACKEND_EXECUTION_PLAN_DESCRIPTOR: cudnnFinalize Descriptor Failed cudnn_status: CUDNN_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED (Triggered internally at 
../aten/src/ATen/native/cudnn/Conv_v8.cpp:919.)

This occurs during both 2D and 3D convolution operations.

Environment

• PyTorch Version: 2.3.0
• CUDA Version (PyTorch): 11.8
• cuDNN Version (PyTorch): 8.7.0
• OS: Ubuntu (please specify version)
• GPU: NVIDIA A10G
• NVIDIA Driver Version: 550.90.07
• System CUDA Version: 12.4

Steps to Reproduce

Just By running python inference.py

Additional Information

• The warning appears for both nn.Conv2d and nn.Conv3d operations.
• Despite the warning, the model seems to run, but I'm concerned about potential performance impacts or hidden issues.
• This occurs even though the GPU (NVIDIA A10G) should be fully capable of handling these operations.

Questions

1. Is this warning indicative of a serious problem, or can it be safely ignored?
2. Could this be related to the mismatch between the system CUDA version (12.4) and the PyTorch CUDA version (11.8)?
3. Are there any workarounds or fixes available for this issue?
4. Will it impact performance much? I am using ComfyUI custom nodes, and it processed 20s video in 30s, which is awesome.

Having the same problem on Fedora 40 with an RTX 3060. Doesn't any video output though but I assume it must slow it down.

these are just warnings. if you add:

torch.backends.cudnn.benchmark = True

immediately below

import torch

at the beginning of src/live_portrait_wrapper.py, the CUDNN_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED warnings go away.

what does this do? https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/what-does-torch-backends-cudnn-benchmark-do/5936

[FurkanGozukara]

it works perfect with

cuda 11.8 - python 3.10.11 and c++ tools and generating venv and installing inside that

here my full tutorials thread : #78

you can watch this tutorial to learn how to install : cuda 11.8 - python 3.10.11 and c++ tools

@rickt Thanks! The fix lies in

LivePortrait/src/live_portrait_pipeline.py

Lines 7 to 8 in d8036cf

	import torch
	torch.backends.cudnn.benchmark = True # disable CUDNN_BACKEND_EXECUTION_PLAN_DESCRIPTOR warning

@FurkanGozukara You are very warm-hearted!
