CUDA error: CUBLAS_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR when calling `cublasCreate(handle)`

10

It’s the legendary @ptrblck! Thank you a lot, truly.

I am going to post 2 different calls to python -m torch.utils.collect_env. One from my system environment using version 1.7.1 and another using torch 1.8.0 on a virtual environment. Oddly enough it seems that torch is using a different CUDA version than what’s specified in nvidia-smi! (it’s using 10.2, instead of 11.0).

Torch version 1.7.1 where the original error message DOES NOT appear:

Now, the virtualenv 1.8 version where the original error DOES happen:

Did you build from source?

No, I installed via pip install torch with pip version 20.0.2 on Python version 3.8.5. The pip version inside my virtualenv is 21.0.1

I am sorry for the noob question. How might I install the 11.1 pip wheels? (assuming that 11.1 refers to the conda version)

Thanks again!
Dani
