Could not satisfy explicit device specification '/device:GPU:0' because no devices matching

I want to use TensorFlow 0.12 for GPU on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine.

But when assigning a device to a node I am getting the following error.

InvalidArgumentError (see above for traceback): Cannot assign a device to
node 'my_model/RNN/zeros': Could not satisfy explicit device specification
'/device:GPU:0' because no devices matching that specification are registered
in this process; available devices: /job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/cpu:0
    [[Node: my_model/RNN/zeros = Fill[T=DT_FLOAT, _device="/device:GPU:0"]
(my_model/RNN/pack, my_model/RNN/zeros/Const)]]

My tensorflow seems to be set up correctly, since this simple program works:

import tensorflow as tf
# Creates a graph.
with tf.device('/gpu:0'):
  a = tf.constant([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0], shape=[2, 3], name='a')
  b = tf.constant([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0], shape=[3, 2], name='b')
  c = tf.matmul(a, b)
# Creates a session with log_device_placement set to True.
sess = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True))
# Runs the op.
print(sess.run(c))

Which outputs:

How can I assign a device to a node correctly?

Try using sess = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(allow_soft_placement=True, log_device_placement=True)). This will resolve the problem if it couldn't place an operation on the GPU. Since some operations have only CPU implementation.

Using allow_soft_placement=True will allow TensorFlow to fall back to CPU when no GPU implementation is available.
