How to install tensorflow GPU version on VirtualBox Ubuntu OS. And host OS is windows 10

Question

I want to setup environment for deep learning using Anaconda (python 3.6). I have system having nvidia get force 1060 with windows installed on it. Now I want to have Ubuntu OS in VB. Can I install Cuda and CuDNN libraries in VB based Ubuntu OS? Any one that can help me?

Answer 1

You can not use your GPU on virtual box. Because virtual box cannot pass through the host GPU.

However, you can use the windows version of python which can use the GPU on your windows machine. Here is the installation procedure for windows.

After installing cuda, cudnn and anaconda 3.6 I just used,

$ pip install tensorflow-gpu

That's all.
