Tensorflow doesn’t detect GPUs on a compute node. What should I do?

Make sure you are using the correct tensorflow version, the version is compatiable with cuda module you have loaded, and that your compute node has a GPU. Please refer to the recommended instructions for using Tensorflow on the cluster - [https://rc-docs.northeastern.edu/en/latest/using-discovery/workingwithgpu.html#using-tensorflow](https://rc-docs.northeastern.edu/en/latest/using-discovery/workingwithgpu.html#using-tensorflow)
