CUDNN_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR on 12.2?

[ityonemo]

I had some serious struggles with cuda 11.8 (Exla-0.6 fails on this platform) so I upgraded to Cuda 12, but I wound up with 12.2:

This seems to cause CUDNN_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR.

Downgrading to 11.8 and Exla-0.5 works (but other libraries, e.g. Bumblebee) fail on Exla-0.5

[seanmor5]

Can you send the logs around that internal error?

[josevalim]

And please include your relevant XLA_TARGETs :)

[ityonemo]

thanks! Which logs should I send?

XLA_TARGET=cuda120

[josevalim]

Thank you, and what is the CUDNN version?

[josevalim]

You can also try building XLA from source and see if you have better luck.

[ityonemo]

unfortunately, building XLA from source stopped with Inconsistent CUDA toolkit path: /usr vs /usr/lib possibly because I switched from 11.8 to 12.x?

[ityonemo]

I actually can't figure out how to find out what cudnn version I have directly. Some instructions on how to determine these in the readme might be helpful. I'l make a pr. Also a lot of people don't know this, but nvidia-smi will lie about the cuda version (the only way to know for sure is nvcc -V).

@ityonemo what OS do you use? On Debian/Ubuntu you can usually find cuDNN package version with apt-cache policy libcudnn8.

[ityonemo]

Unable to locate package libcudnn8

I guess i don't have cudnn installed. Or i might have accidentally wiped it when i purged 11.8 =(

Ok, thanks. I think we can close this, will reopen if i install cudnn and can't get it working
