tensorflow运行时无法启动Tensorboard

Question

当tensorflow已经在运行并使用GPU时，我无法启动tensorboard实例。错误如下。显然，Tensorflow在启动时阻塞了所有GPU内存，这与它实际需要的无关。有没有办法在tensorflow进程运行时启动tensorboard，还是总是先启动？在

在 Tensorboard 1.7.0似乎占用了GPU上约150MB的空间。见this open Tensorboard issue。看来正在解决中。在

在此期间的一个选项是限制Tensorflow允许为每个进程预先分配的内存百分比，具体为in this answer。通过这种方式，您可以确保为GPU上您可能希望在培训期间运行的其他任务保留一定百分比的内存。在

gpu_options = tf.GPUOptions(per_process_gpu_memory_fraction=0.8)

sess = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(gpu_options=gpu_options))
