TensorFlow version 1.0.0-rc2 on Windows: "OpKernel ('op: "BestSplits" device_type: "CPU"') for unknown op: BestSplits" with test code

Question

I installed TensorFlow version 1.0.0-rc2 on Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate (Python 3.5.2 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)) using:

pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/windows/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.0rc2-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

When I try running the test script from https://web.archive.org/web/20170214034751/https://www.tensorflow.org/get_started/os_setup#test_the_tensorflow_installation in Eclipse 4.5 or in the console:

import tensorflow as tf
print('TensorFlow version: {0}'.format(tf.__version__))
hello = tf.constant('Hello, TensorFlow!')
sess = tf.Session()
print(sess.run(hello))

I obtain some error message:

Why?

I didn't have such issues with TensorFlow 0.12.1 (installed with pip install tensorflow==0.12.1):

TensorFlow version: 0.12.1
b'Hello, TensorFlow!'

Answer 1

Installing today's nightly build (CPU version):

pip install --upgrade http://ci.tensorflow.org/view/Nightly/job/nightly-win/85/DEVICE=cpu,OS=windows/artifact/cmake_build/tf_python/dist/tensorflow-1.0.0rc2-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

fixed the issue (no more “OpKernel ('op: ”BestSplits“ device_type: ”CPU“') for unknown op: BestSplits” etc.).

There are now some SSE warnings:

in which case you can try How to compile Tensorflow with SSE4.2 and AVX instructions?

TensorFlow 1.0.0 was released a few days ago. However, it has the same issue. A more recent nightly build has different warnings:

sess = tf.Session()
2017-02-17 13:01:59.790943: W c:\tf_jenkins\home\workspace\nightly-win\device\cpu\os\windows\tensorflow\core\platform\cpu_feature_guard.cc:45] The TensorFlow library wasn't compiled to use SSE instructions, but these are available on your machine and could speed up CPU computations.

FYI: Tensorflow macOS binary, compiled with SSE4.1, SSE4.2 and AVX optimizations.

---

To hide the warnings/errors, you can use os.environ['TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL'] = '3', e.g.:

import tensorflow as tf
import os
os.environ['TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL'] = '3'
print('TensorFlow version: {0}'.format(tf.__version__))
hello = tf.constant('Hello, TensorFlow!')
sess = tf.Session()
print(sess.run(hello))

TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL:

• 0: all logs shown (that's the default setting)
• 1: filter out INFO logs
• 2: additionally filter out WARNING logs
• 3: additionally filter out ERROR logs.

Answer 2

Refering to suggestions above, I think doing 2 steps is helpful:

1st, upgrade tensorflow:

pip install --upgrade tensorflow==1.1.0rc1

then, error logs changes into warn logs:

W c:\tf_jenkins\home\workspace\release-win\device\cpu\os\windows\tensorflow\core\platform\cpu_feature_guard.cc:45] The TensorFlow library wasn't compiled to use SSE3 instructions, but these are available on your machine and could speed up CPU computations.

2nd, you may be able to suppress the warning filter at level 2.

os.environ['TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL'] = '2'

I think it works well without filtering 'error' logs.
