I  created the training data following the steps in the tutorial. But When I run the training program my memory gets flooded with data. I have 8 GB ram and working on tensorflow GPU.

Thank You for your time Harrison
Huge Fan of your works

Do you have 8gb of ram....or 8gb of VRAM? You need VRAM for tensorflow GPU.

I have 2 GB of VRAM. But what actually happens is when I am using tensorflow-gpu the device is automatically set to cpu and it starts using CPU for training and then all memory gets used up and system gets slow and ultimately stuck and I am forced to terminate.

If you have tf-gpu installed, some operations are put to cpu when explicitly asked to be (transferring to gpu isn't always the best choice), but the bulk of the work will be done on the GPU. 2GB of vram isn't enough.
