So I got a hacky workaround for the time being. To avoid the RAM problems I swapped the DataLoaders (from @jamesrequa ) and to deal with the incompatible variable types problem, I added the following line to the top of the accuracy function in fastai.metrics:
part of the Lesson 1 notebook and jeez did it take forever to run.
Epoch 100% 7/7 [16:14<00:00, 139.15s/it]
I’m running on Windows 10 with a 1080ti, and while it was running I could see 100% utilization of the GPU (but only 50% memory) so I figure it’s not bound by the CPU. Any idea why my it/s is so slow? This seemed like the appropriate thread to bump. Thanks!
