I am using two graphic cards and the GeForce gtx980 with 4GB, where I compute my neuronal network is always jumping from 0 to 99% and from 99% to 0% (repeating) at the last line of the pasted shell output.
After around 90seconds it did the first calculation. I put my images one after another into the neuronal network (for-loop). And the following calculations only need 20 seconds (3 epochs) and the GPU jumps between 96 and 100%.
Why is it jumping at the beginning?
I use the flag:
config.gpu_options.allow_growth = True
with tf.Session(config=config) as sess:
Can I be sure that is really using not less megabytes than nvidia-smi -lms 50 is showing me?
