So for example, if I run this piece of code:

import tensorflow as tf
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))
print(sess.run(c))

Then I would get this:

[[ 22.  28.]
 [ 49.  64.]]

The warnings always come up and its extremely annoying. I have tried using other solution such as:

import os
os.environ['TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL']='2'
import tensorflow as tf

But it still gave me the same warnings. Two things, how can I get rid of the warnings? Is tensorflow using just GPU?

There warnings caused by building parameters. Recompile your tensorflow with parameter bazel build -c opt --copt=-mavx --copt=-mavx2 --copt=-mfma --copt=-msse --copt=-msse2 --copt=-msse3 --copt=-msse4.1 --copt=-msse4.2 --copt=-mfpmath=both --config=cuda -k //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package will solve the problem

You are getting this info dump, because you are starting your Session explicitly with the instruction to show them:

sess = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True))

the log_device_placement=True bit is intended specifically to demonstrate which operations are performed on which devices (for example to demonstrate that the GPU is indeed utilized properly, etc.)

If you don't want to see this info, simply start the session without such options:

sess = tf.Session()

Having this bit is still helpful however:

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

Because TF might show you other warnings that you might find annoying/unnecessary, so I'd suggest keeping this line (but in my experience that doesn't have any effect on Windows, only on Mac and Linux)
