Tensorflow Deep learning network not utilizing GPU?
$begingroup$
I have a Nvidia GeForce GT 755M (PC), which I heard should be at least functional for running deep learning models. But when I train my model (DCGAN) and check the task manager process info (Win 10) I see close to 100% CPU utilization, and very little GPU activity (1-5%). That amount of GPU activity seems to be the constant even if I'm not running a model...so my concern is that I'm not using my graphics card at all, and that I would get better performance if I did.
Furthermore, when I run the following code it indicates that no GPU was found:
import tensorflow as tf
import warnings
if not tf.test.gpu_device_name():
warnings.warn('No GPU found. Please use a GPU to train your neural network.')
else:
print('Default GPU Device: {}'.format(tf.test.gpu_device_name()))
So my questions are the following:
- Is my GPU something that should improve performance vs using the CPU?
- Why isn't tensorflow finding the GPU?
- How can I make Tensorflow utilize the GPU?
I am just beginning to learn about the hardware aspect of ML so any advice and any recommended beginners tutorials for getting basic understanding/intuition would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

what does runningnvidia-smiin the terminal return? Have you installedtensorflow-gpuinstead of justtensorflow? Have you downloaded and installedcuDNN?
