My question answer model training is taking too long

username: rounak
cooked: <p>my question answer nlp model is taking too much time to run , while it is not GPU is being unutilised and also my loss is about 4-3 million<br>
i’m having 13gb ram and 15 gb graphics card from google colab. Please help me!</p>
<p>it is my training code</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">from tqdm.auto import tqdm
epochs = 5
set_seed()

model_0.to(device)
# training
for epoch in tqdm(range(epochs)):
  train_loss = 0
  model_0.train()
  for batch in train_dataloader:
    x,y= batch[0],batch[1]
    x,y = x.to(torch.float),y.to(torch.float)
    x,y = x.to(device),y.to(device)

    # perform forward pass
    logits = model_0(x)

    # calculate loss
    loss = loss_fn(logits, y)
    train_loss += loss

    # optimizer zero grad
    optimizer.zero_grad()

    # loss back
    loss.backward()

    # step
    optimizer.step()

  # testing
  model_0.eval()
  with torch.inference_mode():
    test_loss = 0
    for batch in test_dataloader:
      x,y = batch[0], batch[1]
      x,y = x.to(torch.float),y.to(torch.float)
      x,y = x.to(device),y.to(device)

      # forwrad pass
      logits = model_0(x)

      # calc loss
      loss = loss_fn(logits, y)
      test_loss += loss
      test_loss /= len(test_dataloader)

  # print some info
  train_loss /= len(train_dataloader)
  print(f"epoch : {epoch}  || train_loss : {train_loss:.4f}  || test_loss : {test_loss:.4f}")

<p>Now i will show model</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto"># creating the model
from torch import nn

<p>please help me</p>

cooked: <p>You are accumulating the entire computation graph in:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-python">train_loss += loss
</code></pre>
<p>so either <code>detach()</code> the <code>loss</code> tensor or call <code>item()</code> on it as it would not only slow down your code (as more memory would be required in each iteration) but could also yield an out-of-memory error.</p>
<p>Besides that you might need to profile you code (e.g. via <code>Nsight Systems</code>) to check where the bottleneck is.</p>

cooked: <p>Thank you for your rply but still my code is as slow as before and also its loss is about 3-4 million as before, i am not even being able to use the complete dataset . i’m using only about 320 samples out of 80,000 but still it takes about an hour to work. i have also seen that the forward pass is taking the most time.</p>
<p>i’m also confused that why it is taking only time but not using much ram or gpu, it only uses 5gb ram out of 12 gb and only 1gb gpu out of 15gb</p>
<p>i mean it should take more compute resources and do the task faster but it is not doing so</p>
<p>please help me</p>
