I am running into a strange cudnn error when trying to profile a network with nvprof.
The model runs fine without the profiler, but when I add the profiler with nvprof --metrics flop_count_sp,flop_count_hp --log-file mylog.log python main.py I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Here is a quick sanity check for the model:

Has anyone run into cudnn errors when running nvidia’s profiler?
Here is my setup:
pytorch version: 0.4.0
cudnn version: 7102
cuda 9.0
