When I run the following code :

```auto
import os
os.environ['OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS'] = '1'
os.environ['TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL']='2'
from flask import Flask, jsonify
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf

app = Flask( __name__ )

@app.route('/', methods=['GET'])
def sum_random():
    result = tf.reduce_sum(tf.random.normal([1000, 1000]))
    return jsonify({'result': result.numpy()})

if __name__ == ' __main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

```

I got the following error message:  
2024-04-25 10:52:25.965625: F external/local\_tsl/tsl/platform/default/env.cc:74] Check failed: ret == 0 (11 vs. 0)Thread tf\_numa\_-1\_Eigen creation via pthread\_create() failed.

The following is my specification:  
Python 3.11.8  
Tensorflow 2.16.1  
Flask 3.0.3  
Numpy 1.26.4

How do i resolve this issue ?

Hi @itoy827, I suspect that this error might be caused due to the memory constraint. Could you please try with the lesser shape while defining the tf.random.normal. Thank You
