Bug description
I am training the model using pytorch-lightning. The code is below
One epoch passes smoothly in 1-2 seconds, however the interval between epochs is around 6-8 seconds. Could you recommed any guidelines where to search and how to fix it?
train_dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
train_dataset,
batch_size=config.training.batch_size,
shuffle=True,
num_workers=2,
#pin_memory=True,
persistent_workers=True
)
model = instantiate(config.model_cfg.model_obj)
pl_model = PlWaveGrad(model, hydra_config=config)
if config.model_cfg.conditional:
print('using conditional model')
else:
print('uncondtional model')
print('using dataset: ', config.dataset.name)
loss_cb = LossCurveCallback()
#profiler = AdvancedProfiler(dirparth='./outputs', filename='perf_logs')
checkpoint_callback = pl.callbacks.ModelCheckpoint(
filename="{epoch:02d}-{train_loss:.4f}",
every_n_epochs=1000, # Save after every epoch
save_last=True, # This ensures the last checkpoint is kept and overwritten each time
)
trainer = pl.Trainer(
max_epochs=config.training.n_epochs,
log_every_n_steps=4,
devices=[config.training.device], # FIXME
callbacks=[checkpoint_callback, loss_cb], # here is no loss_cb
precision='16-mixed',
#enable_checkpointing=False,
#profiler="advanced",
)
print(f'\n\n\n using device: {config.training.device}')
if config.ckpt_path is None:
trainer.fit(pl_model, train_dataloaders=train_dataloader)
else:
ckpt_path = Path(config.ckpt_path).resolve()
trainer.fit(pl_model, train_dataloaders=train_dataloader, ckpt_path=ckpt_path)
