30.08.2020 · I wanted to free up the CUDA memory and couldn't find a proper way to do that without restarting the kernel. Here I tried these: del model # model is a pl.LightningModule del trainer # pl.Trainer del train_loader # torch DataLoader torch. cuda. empty_cache () # this is also stuck pytorch_lightning. utilities. memory. garbage_collection_cuda ...

Mar 07, 2018 · torch.cuda.empty_cache()(EDITED: fixed function name) will release all the GPU memory cache that can be freed. If after calling it, you still have some memory that is used, that means that you have a python variable (either torch Tensor or torch Variable) that reference it, and so it cannot be safely released as you can still access it.

How to diagnose and analyse memory issues should they arise. ... check whether a GPU is available or not by invoking the torch.cuda.is_available function.

Hello all, for me the cuda_empty_cache() alone did not work. What did work was: 1) del learners/dataloaders anything that used up the GPU and I do not need 2) Running the following: import gc gc.collect() torch.cuda.empty_cache()

Oct 16, 2020 · I’m trying to free some GPU memory so that other processes can use it. I tried to do that by executing torch.cuda.empty_cache() after deleting the tensor but for some reason it doesn’t seem to work. I wrote this small script to replicate the problem os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = '0' showUtilization() t = torch.zeros((1, 2**6, 2**6)).to(f'cuda') showUtilization() del t torch.cuda ...

I figured out where I was going wrong. I am posting the solution as an answer for others who might be struggling with the same problem.

16.10.2020 · For some reason empty_cache() manages to deallocate 2 MiB (this is consistent and not due to other processes on the same GPU I’ve tried it multiple times). Thinkig about it I guess that those 2 MiB are the size of the tensor I allocate. Yes, the 2MB are shown in the torch.cuda.memory_reserved() output, which gives you the allocated and cached memory: …
