Caffe是一个深度学习框架，本文讲阐述如何在linux下安装GPU加速的caffe。
系统配置是：
- OS: Ubuntu14.04
- CPU: i5-4690
- GPU： GTX960
- RAM: 8G
安装方法参见caffe的官方文档：http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html#compilation
依赖项：
- CUDA:推荐7.0以上的cuda和最新的显卡驱动。
- BLAS:ATLAS, MKL, or OpenBLAS。C++矩阵运算库。
- Boost >= 1.55。用到一些数学函数等。
- protobuf：是一种轻便、高效的结构化数据存储格式，可以用于结构化数据串行化，很适合做数据存储或 RPC 数据交换格式。
- glog&&gflags：谷歌的一个日志库；命令行参数解析库。方便调试使用。
- hdf5：
- lmdb,leveldb:数据库IO。准备数据时会用到。
可选依赖：
- OpenCV >= 2.4 including 3.0
- IO libraries: lmdb, leveldb (note: leveldb requires snappy)
- cuDNN for GPU acceleration (v5)
Pycaffe:
Python 2.7 or Python 3.3+, numpy (>= 1.7), boost-provided boost.python
Matcaffe:
MATLAB with the mex compiler
安装CUDA7.5
CUDA维基百科：https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA
CUDA（Compute Unified Device Architecture，统一计算架构）是由NVIDIA所推出的一种集成技术，是该公司对于GPGPU的正式名称。通过这个技术，用户可利用NVIDIA的GeForce 8以后的GPU和较新的Quadro GPU进行计算。亦是首次可以利用GPU作为C-编译器的开发环境。
安装过程
1.下载Cuda
下载CUDA:https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads 选择下载deb包（或者runfile），下载完后用mu5sum检查一下文件是否完整。按照cuda官方文档安装cuda.
2.安装
先关闭桌面显示管理器lightdm，进入字符界面，在字符界面安装cuda。(这是因为cuda的安装包里包含了显卡驱动，安装驱动前要先关闭桌面显示管理器)
(也可分别安装显卡驱动与cuda库)
sudo service stop
切换到deb包目录，执行下面的命令
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-<distro>_<version>_<architecture>.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cuda
然后重启电脑：sudo reboot
注意，cuda的安装包中已经包含了较新版本的显卡驱动。
3.配置环境变量
将cuda安装目录下的bin路径导出到系统的搜索路径path
这里写图片描述
并使之生效
这里写图片描述
添加动态库查找路径：在 /etc/ld.so.conf.d/加入文件 cuda.conf, 内容如下
/usr/local/cuda/lib64
保存后，执行下列命令使之立刻生效:
sudo ldconfig
4.验证
查看Cuda的C编译器NVCC的版本：
nvcc -V
这里写图片描述
编译并运行例子，进入cuda目录下的samples目录，然后在该目录下make，等待十来分钟。编译完成后，可以在Samples里面找到bin/x86_64/linux/release/目录，并切换到该目录
运行deviceQuery程序，查看输出结果如下（重点关注最后一行，Pass表示通过测试）。
这里写图片描述
5.gcc编译器版本
该版本cuda不支持gcc5.0的编译器

安装Cudnn
下载cudnn https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-download, 解压，把lib目录,include目录分别复制到cuda的安装目录下。
安装BLAS
install ATLAS by sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev or install OpenBLAS or MKL for better CPU performance.
下载Caffe
安装Caffe依赖库
通用依赖库：
sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev libleveldb-dev libsnappy-dev libopencv-dev libhdf5-serial-dev protobuf-compiler
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends libboost-all-dev
Ubuntu14.04 依赖库：
sudo apt-get install libgflags-dev libgoogle-glog-dev liblmdb-dev
PyCaffe依赖库
进入caffe/python目录，安装依赖项：
for req in $(cat requirements.txt); do pip install $req; done
caffe官网推荐使用Anaconda http://continuum.io/downloads#all Anaconda是一个和Canopy类似的科学计算环境，但用起来更加方便。自带的包管理器conda也很强大。
MatCaffe
安装matlabR2014a
编译caffe
复制并修改Makefile.config文件：

编译cuda samples无法运行，提示错误：
这里写图片描述
应该是驱动版本没有更新
查看/etc/modprobe.d/目录下的文件，查看nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf：
将alias nvidia nvidia_352改为alias nvidia_367
将alias nvidia-uvm nvidia_352-uvm改为alias nvidia-uvm nvidia_367-uvm
这里写图片描述
问题解决。
Caffe matlab protobuf错误
https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/issues/1917
先卸载protobuf,然后下载源码，按照上文编译。
修改caffe的makefile，重新编译。解决。
