Hey , I am trying to run a tensorflow image classifier along with a Gazebo simulation .

I have a Nvidia GT730 with 2GB graphics .

The problem i am facing is , when i start up gazebo , it eats up most of the GPU memory , this makes my tensorflow node as non run-able .

Is there some parameter i can give with gzclient , so that gazebo runs solely on the CPU or integrated GPU .

This seems like it is a question about Gazebo's configuration, so please ask it over at the Gazebo Answers forum.

If/when you do, please post a comment here with a link to your new question so we keep things connected.

Thanks.

This is a solution i found for this problem , we have to set the xserver to run on the integrated GPU rather than the external GPU.

This seems to solve the problem for me .
