Get the list of visible physical devices.

tf.config.get_visible_devices(
    device_type=None
)

Returns the list of PhysicalDevices currently marked as visible to the runtime. A visible device will have at least one LogicalDevice associated with it once the runtime is initialized.

The following example verifies all visible GPUs have been disabled:

>>> physical_devices = tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU')
>>> try:
...   # Disable all GPUS
...   tf.config.set_visible_devices([], 'GPU')
...   visible_devices = tf.config.get_visible_devices()
...   for device in visible_devices:
...     assert device.device_type != 'GPU'
... except:
...   # Invalid device or cannot modify virtual devices once initialized.
...   pass
