   * For interactive jobs, you can use ''qrsh'', but make sure to end your job as soon as you don't need the GPU (so don't use qrsh for long training). **Warning: ''-pty yes bash'' is necessary**, otherwise the variable ''$CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'' will not be set correctly.

(E.g. try separating steps which need GPU and steps which do not and execute those separately on our GPU resp. CPU cluster.)

 When not using Theano, just Tensorflow this can be simplified to ''export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/cuda-8.0/cudnn/6.0/lib64:/opt/cuda-8.0/lib64''. Note that on some machines (dll*, twister*), this is the current default even without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but on other machines (kronos, titan, titan-gpu, iridium) you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH explicitly. When not using Theano, just Tensorflow this can be simplified to ''export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/cuda-8.0/cudnn/6.0/lib64:/opt/cuda-8.0/lib64''.
