Future support to Ubuntu 18.04 container on IBM OpenPower + Tesla P100 + CUDA 10.0

[gustavovaliati]

First of all, congratulations for the great work you are doing.

This is a question.

I am aware the supported plataforms are Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04. However, I am wondering if we have some progress already in supporting 18.04.

I am working on a IBM openpower with TESLA P100, running a pre-defined docker image built on ubuntu 18.04 with CUDA 10.0. I am kind of restricted to that, and I would like to test the deepdetect server on it. I am working to solve some compilation problems (like the one reported below), that I think are related to the different plataform I am using.

Does anyone have trying to work in a similar environment? Thank you.

Hi @gustavovaliati thanks for the kind words.

This is known difficulty, and the instructions how to resolve it are below. However, if you have the ability to actually run a Docker image instead for P100 following DeepDetect P100 docker, that's the prefered (painless) way :)

• Building DeepDetect on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS requires building cppnetlib "by hand" since it appears to not be part of Ubuntu packages anymore, as follows:

wget https://github.com/cpp-netlib/cpp-netlib/archive/cpp-netlib-0.11.2-final.tar.gz
tar xvzf cpp-netlib-0.11.2-final.tar.gz
cd cpp-netlib-cpp-netlib-0.11.2-final
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

• Building DeepDetect on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with CUDA 10, requires building a version of cmake that is more recent than the version from Ubuntu, this is due to CUDA 10. Do as follows:

wget https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.14.0/cmake-3.14.0.tar.gz
tar xvzf cmake-3.14.0.tar.gz
cd cmake-3.14.0
./bootstrap
make
sudo make install

Proceed with the DeepDetect build as from Build for P100 GPU from source instructions.

We'll update the online documentation accordingly.

Thank you for such a complete and quick response.

Great to know I was going to do similar procedures to solve the situation. As soon as I test it, I will report back here. Cya.

Hi! With some additional steps to your instructions I have been able to overcome the initial problem. The changes are:

• Remove current cmake: sudo apt-get remove cmake;
• Install autoconf: sudo apt-get install autoconf;
• Follow your instructions;
• Create a simbolic link for the new compiled & installed cmake: sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/cmake /usr/bin/cmake ;
• Update the CMAKE_ROOT to the new cmake: export CMAKE_ROOT=/usr/local/share/cmake-3.14 ;

Thank you! :+1:

Right now I am working on some problems when compiling the tests with cmake -DBUILD_TESTS=ON .. && make.

I have configured the initial deepdetect build to do not use CUDNN, once I don't have it: cmake .. -DUSE_SIMSEARCH=ON -DUSE_CUDNN=OFF -DCUDA_ARCH="-gencode arch=compute_60,code=sm_60" -DUSE_TF=ON -DCUDA_USE_STATIC_CUDA_RUNTIME=OFF

Additionally it is asking for the bazel even that it is already installed.

Hi, unless you really need TF for some specific image model, I'd recommend to build without it, at least at first. That being said I'm pretty certain you need bazel 0.8 explicitly otherwise it won't build, see https://github.com/jolibrain/deepdetect/blob/master/docker/gpu-caffe-tf/Dockerfile

You also may want to keep cudnn support on, it's the default and most useful configuration, unless there's some good reason to deactivate it.

For Ubuntu 18.04, I also need to install libssl-dev package.

[beniz]

I remember having seen it missing here and then, might depend on the primary OS install.

[panovr]

By the way, for Ubuntu 18.04, do we still need to use the libcurlpp version from github https://github.com/jpbarrette/curlpp.git like in Ubuntu 16.04?

[beniz]

libcurpp has been fixed in 18.04, let us know if the instructions are not clear: https://www.deepdetect.com/quickstart-server/?opts={%22os%22:%22ubuntu%22,%22source%22:%22build_source%22,%22compute%22:%22gpu%22,%22gpu%22:%22gtx%22,%22backend%22:[%22caffe%22,%22tsne%22,%22xgboost%22],%22deepdetect%22:%22server%22}

I've had some difficulties to install DD on Ubuntu 18.04, I had to install libboost-all-dev, libssl-dev before installing cppnet. I've finally made a bash script to automate the installation based on the commit version. https://gist.github.com/YaYaB/7d5b117d4a9976b73201f7fb28eaae95

[cchadowitz]

FYI I have a rough dockerfile that setups up DD on Ubuntu 18.04 (with caffe, TF, dlib backends) here: https://github.com/jolibrain/deepdetect/issues/687#issuecomment-572749679

Just make sure to use TF v0.13.1 and bazel v0.21.0 to avoid the errors I had in #687 :)
