description: Get if memory growth is enabled for a PhysicalDevice.

tf.config.experimental.get_memory_growth

Get if memory growth is enabled for a PhysicalDevice.

tf.config.experimental.get_memory_growth(
    device
)

If memory growth is enabled for a PhysicalDevice, the runtime initialization will not allocate all memory on the device.

For example:

>>> physical_devices = tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU')
>>> try:
...   tf.config.experimental.set_memory_growth(physical_devices[0], True)
...   assert tf.config.experimental.get_memory_growth(physical_devices[0])
... except:
...   # Invalid device or cannot modify virtual devices once initialized.
...   pass

Args

device PhysicalDevice to query

Returns

A boolean indicating the memory growth setting for the PhysicalDevice.

Raises

ValueError Invalid PhysicalDevice specified.
