CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS when runnin Faster R-CNN on Matlab - matlab

Question

I'm running faster R-CNN in matlab 2018b on a Windows 10. I face an exception CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS when I increase the number of my training items or when I increase the MaxEpoch.
Below are the information of my gpuDevice

And this is my code
latest_index =0;
for i=1:6
load (strcat('newDataset', int2str(i), '.mat'));
len =length(vehicleDataset.imageFilename);
for j=1:len
filename = vehicleDataset.imageFilename{j};
latest_index=latest_index+1;
fulldata.imageFilename{latest_index} = filename;
fulldata.vehicle{latest_index} = vehicleDataset.vehicle{j};
end
end
trainingDataTable = table(fulldata.imageFilename', fulldata.vehicle');
trainingDataTable.Properties.VariableNames = {'imageFilename','vehicle'};
data.trainingDataTable = trainingDataTable;
trainingDataTable(1:4,:)
% Split data into a training and test set.
idx = floor(0.6 * height(trainingDataTable));
trainingData = trainingDataTable(1:idx,:);
testData = trainingDataTable(idx:end,:);
% Create image input layer.
inputLayer = imageInputLayer([32 32 3]);
% Define the convolutional layer parameters.
filterSize = [3 3];
numFilters = 64;
% Create the middle layers.
middleLayers = [

reluLayer()
convolution2dLayer(filterSize, numFilters, 'Padding', 1)

];
finalLayers = [
fullyConnectedLayer(128)
% Add a ReLU non-linearity.

% Add the softmax loss layer and classification layer.

optionsStage4
];
doTrainingAndEval = true;
if doTrainingAndEval
% Set random seed to ensure example training reproducibility.
rng(0);
% Train Faster R-CNN detector. Select a BoxPyramidScale of 1.2 to allow
% for finer resolution for multiscale object detection.
detector = trainFasterRCNNObjectDetector(trainingData, layers, options, ...
'NegativeOverlapRange', [0 0.3], ...
'PositiveOverlapRange', [0.6 1], ...
'BoxPyramidScale', 1.2);
data.detector= detector;
else
% Load pretrained detector for the example.
detector = data.detector;
end
save mix_data data
if doTrainingAndEval
% Run detector on each image in the test set and collect results.
resultsStruct = struct([]);
for i = 1:height(testData)
% Read the image.
I = imread(testData.imageFilename{i});
% Run the detector.
[bboxes, scores, labels] = detect(detector, I);
% Collect the results.
resultsStruct(i).Boxes = bboxes;
resultsStruct(i).Scores = scores;
resultsStruct(i).Labels = labels;
end
% Convert the results into a table.
results = struct2table(resultsStruct);
data.results = results;
save mix_data data
else
% Load results from disk.
results = data.results;
end
% Extract expected bounding box locations from test data.
expectedResults = testData(:, 2:end);
% Evaluate the object detector using Average Precision metric.
[ap, recall, precision] = evaluateDetectionPrecision(results, expectedResults);
% Plot precision/recall curve
figure
plot(recall,precision)
xlabel('Recall')
ylabel('Precision')
grid on
title(sprintf('Average Precision = %.2f', ap))
First it prints the warning multiple time and throws the below exception

Answer 1

After talking to Matlab support, apparently my GPU is not the "right" GPU for deep learning and Neural Network.
However, I found that the issue was that Windows changed the GPU during the run, to fix this I went to INVIDIA Control Panel > Programs settings >
1. Select Mathworks Matlab
2. Preferred graphic processor choose your GPU card
