Tensorflow takes >1 min on first run on video card with 5.0 compute capability

Question

I\'m running tensorflow 0.8.0 for python3 (pip installation), and the following file test.py:

import tensorflow as tf                                    


        

Answer 1

The first call to eval() or run() is typically much slower than subsequent calls since it needs to setup the session. Subsequent calls to eval/run are typically much faster.
