I just installed the latest version of Tensorflow via pip install tensorflow and whenever I run a program, I get the log message:
W tensorflow/stream_executor/platform/default/dso_loader.cc:55] Could not load dynamic library 'cudart64_101.dll'; dlerror: cudart64_101.dll not found
Is this bad? How do I fix the error?
With the new Tensorflow 2.1 release, the default tensorflow pip package contains both CPU and GPU versions of TF. In previous TF versions, not finding the CUDA libraries would emit an error and raise an exception, while now the library dynamically searches for the correct CUDA version and, if it doesn't find it, emits the warning (The W in the beginning stands for warnings, errors have an E (or F for fatal errors) and falls back to CPU-only mode. In fact, this is also written in the log as an info message right after the warning (do note that if you have a higher minimum log level that the default, you might not see info messages). The full log is (emphasis mine):
2020-01-20 12:27:44.554767: W tensorflow/stream_executor/platform/default/dso_loader.cc:55] Could not load dynamic library 'cudart64_101.dll'; dlerror: cudart64_101.dll not found
2020-01-20 12:27:44.554964: I tensorflow/stream_executor/cuda/cudart_stub.cc:29] Ignore above cudart dlerror if you do not have a GPU set up on your machine.
If you don't have a CUDA-enabled GPU on your machine, or if you don't care about not having GPU acceleration, no need to worry. If, on the other hand, you installed tensorflow and wanted GPU acceleration, check your CUDA installation (TF 2.1 requires CUDA 10.1, not 10.2 or 10.0).
If you just want to get rid of the warning, you can adapt TF's logging level to suppress warnings, but that might be overkill, as it will silence all warnings.
Your CUDA setup is broken, ensure you have the correct version installed.
To install the prerequisites for GPU support in TensorFlow 2.1:
pip install tensorflow.TensorFlow 2.3.0 works fine with CUDA 11. But you have to install tf-nightly-gpu (after you installed tensorflow and CUDA 11): https://pypi.org/project/tf-nightly-gpu/
Try:
pip install tf-nightly-gpu
Afterwards you'll get the message in your console:
I tensorflow/stream_executor/platform/default/dso_loader.cc:48] Successfully opened dynamic library cudart64_110.dll
I solved this another way. First of all I installed cuda 10.1 toolkit from this link
Where i selected installer type(exe(local)) and installed 10.1 in custom mode means (without visual studio integration, NVIDIA PhysX because previously I installed CUDA 10.2 so required dependencies were installed automatically)
After installation, From the Following Path (C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v10.1\bin) , in my case, I copied 'cudart64_101.dll' file and pasted in (C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v10.2\bin).
Then importing Tensorflow worked smoothly.
N.B. Sorry for Bad English
In a conda environment, this is what solved my problem (I was missing cudart64-100.dll:
Downloaded it from dll-files.com/CUDART64_100.DLL
Put it in my conda environment at
C:\Users\<user>\Anaconda3\envs\<env name>\Library\bin
That's all it took! You can double check if it's working:
import tensorflow as tf
tf.config.experimental.list_physical_devices('GPU')
In my case the tensorflow install was looking for cudart64_101.dll
The 101 part of cudart64_101 is the Cuda version - here 101 = 10.1
I had downloaded 11.x, so the version of cudart64 on my system was cudart64_110.dll
This is the wrong file!! cudart64_101.dll ≠ cudart64_110.dll
Download Cuda 10.1 from https://developer.nvidia.com/
Install (mine crashes with NSight Visual Studio Integration, so I switched that off)
When the install has finished you should have a Cuda 10.1 folder, and in the bin the dll the system was complaining about being missing
Check that the path to the 10.1 bin folder is registered as a system environmental variable, so it will be checked when loading the library
You may need a reboot if the path is not picked up by the system straight away
Tensorflow 2.1 works with Cuda 10.1.
If you want a quick hack:
cudart64_101.dll from here. Extract the zip file and copy the cudart64_101.dll to your CUDA bin directoryElse:
This solution worked for me :
I preinstalled the environnement with anaconda (here is the code)
conda create -n YOURENVNAME python=3.6 // 3.6> incompatible with keras
conda activate YOURENVNAME
conda install tensorflow-gpu
conda install -c anaconda keras
conda install -c anaconda scikit-learn
conda install matplotlib
but after I had still these warnings

How I solved the first warning : I just download a zip file wich contained all the cudnn files (dll, etc) here : https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn
How I solved the second warning : I looked the last missing file (cudart64_101.dll) in my virtual env created by conda and I just copy/pasted it in the same lib folder than for the .dll cudnn
I installed cudatoolkit 11 and copy dll
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v11.1\bin to C:\Windows\System32.
It fixed for PyCharm but not for Anaconda jupyter:

(along CUDA Toolkit 11.0 RC)
To solve the same issue as OP, I just had to find cudart64_101.dll on my disk (in my case C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NvStreamSrv) and add it as variable environment (that is add value C:\Program Files\NVIDIA\Corporation\NvStreamSrv)cudart64_101.dll to user's environment variable Path).
Was able to fix the issue by updating NVIDIA device drivers to the latest (v446.14). NVIDIA drivers download link here.
A simpler way would be to create a link called cudart64_101.dll to point to cudart64_102.dll. This is not very orthodox but since TensorFlow is looking for cudart64_101.dll exported symbols and the nvidia folks are not amateurs, they would most likely not remove symbols from 101 to 102. It works, based on this assumption (mileage may vary).
