Error building hipCaffe

[briansp2020]

I followed the instruction but I'm getting this error when building hipCaffe.

.build_release/src/caffe/proto/caffe.pb.h:12:2: error: This file was generated by a newer version of protoc which is
#error This file was generated by a newer version of protoc which is

Clean set up of Ubuntu 16.04.3 and ROCm-1.6-180.
Any advice?

Hi @briansp2020,

Maybe you have multiple versions of protoc / protobuf on your system?

Looks like folks have seen similar issues on the standard version (bvlc/caffe) too. Here are some examples of solutions:

BVLC/caffe#5645
BVLC/caffe#4512

Keep us posted on how this goes.

Best,

Jeff

@parallelo
Uninstalling Protobuf from Anaconda did the trick.
Thanks for the pointer.

I have another question if you don't mind. Is there a guide for configuring keras & tensorflow that uses ROCm? I'm going through Fast.ai classes and it is extremely slow training just using my CPU (Ryzen 7 1800X). I want to try using my GPU (Fury Nano) and see if that is any faster.

Thanks again for your help.

@shuaiche , can you help comment on Keras on ROCm?
We have hipTF released:

Thanks for the help. I was able to get Keras to work with hipTF.
