Nasty cuDNN bug on my Ubuntu 16.04 home rig

[EricPB (Eric Perbos-Brinck)]

Many thanks for the tips to @shushi2000 and @rteja1113.
I ended up upgrading to Python 3.6 and Keras 2.0 for Part#2 and used updated notebooks from @Robi .

A quick update for those using epoch time on Cell #7 of lesson1.ipynb as a benchmark for setup (@RogerS49, @stephenl , @kzuiderveld, @brendan). After upgrading to Python 3.6 and Keras 2.0 for Part #2 (Part #1 use Python 2.7 and Keras 1.22), I used @Robi updated notebooks. Took just a few minutes to finetune file names here and there. like utils_p3.py, vvg16_p3.py etc My 2015 gaming PC with i5 4690K + Z97 + 16gb ddr3 + 500gb SSD and Asus GTX 1080Ti FE used to run the epoch in 210 sec…

So far so good.
