我创建了3个虚拟GPU（具有1个GPU），并尝试加速图像的矢量化。但是，将下面提供的代码与来自离文档（here）的手动放置一起使用时，我得到了奇怪的结果：在所有GPU上的训练要比在单个GPU上慢两倍。还要在具有3个物理GPU的机器上检查此代码（并删除虚拟设备初始化）-相同。
环境：Python 3.6，Ubuntu 18.04.3，tensorflow-gpu 1.14.0。
代码（此示例创建了3个虚拟设备，您可以在具有一个GPU的PC上对其进行测试）：

# We load the protobuf file from the disk and parse it to retrieve the
# unserialized graph_def
with tf.gfile.GFile(frozen_graph_filename,"rb") as f:
graph_def = tf.GraphDef()
graph_def.ParseFromString(f.read())
# Then,we import the graph_def into a new Graph and returns it
with tf.Graph().as_default() as graph:
# The name var will prefix every op/nodes in your graph
# Since we load everything in a new graph,this is not needed
tf.import_graph_def(graph_def,name="")
return graph

Assign list of images to GPU:1
Assign list of images to GPU:2
All images has been assigned to GPU's

我尝试了什么：将包含图像的列表分成3个块，并将每个块分配给GPU（请参阅代码的提交行）。这样可以将多GPU时间减少到17秒，比单GPU运行18秒（〜5％）要快一点。
预期结果：MultiGPU版本比SingleGPU版本快（至少1.5倍加速）。
想法，为什么会发生：我用错误的方式编写了计算
