torch.cuda.is_available() evaluates to True and torch.version evaluates to
’0.3.0.post4’ on the EC2 instance. Does this imply cuddNN is properly installed? I saw somewhere on the forum that if torch is installed from the pytorch website, it should come with all necessary cuda libraries. I used

pip3 install http://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu90/torch-0.3.0.post4-cp35-cp35m-linux_x86_64.whl 13

to install the last version of torch on the instance.
Just found out that cuddNN is different than cuda. Will install cuddNN on the instance and get back with the results. Thanks a lot for the feedback.
