How to stop TensorFlow from multi-threading

Question

I am writing code for NIST FRVT. NIST wants the program to run at max 2 threads(Only CPU, No GPU). I am using TensorFlow in my code but it always spawns much more than 2 thr

Answer 1

With reference to the following sources, it looks like there is no possibility to run TensorFlow on 1 or 2 threads.

• https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/33627
• https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/42510
• https://github.com/theislab/batchglm/issues/27
• Using the script variable OMP_NUM_THREADS in the program source files
• Change number of threads for Tensorflow inference with C API
