Advice for model parallel on GANs

shaoming20798: <p>Hi, <a class="mention" href="/u/mrshenli">@mrshenli</a>. I have read your post <a href="https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/model_parallel_tutorial.html" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">model parallel tutorial</a>. Here is my problem, the code is avaiable here: <a href="https://github.com/eriklindernoren/PyTorch-GAN/tree/master/implementations/cyclegan" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">cyclegan</a>. The model is too large to fit in a single gpu, and the network uses multi loss, so I cannot easily split the model into 2 or more gpus which may make errors such as ‘<strong>Runtime Error: expected all tensors to be on the same device, but found at least two devices, cuda:1 and cuda:0</strong>’. Could you have a look at my codes and give some advice? Thanks.<br>
My codes are as follows, the key codes have be given comments above and the command is ‘CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python cyclegan.py’:</p>

mrshenli: <p>Hey <a class="mention" href="/u/shaoming20798">@shaoming20798</a>, are <code>G_AB</code> and <code>G_BA</code> the two large models you referred to? Will it work if you put your <code>G_AB</code> and <code>G_BA</code> models on two different GPUs, move the computed loss into the same GPU, then compute <code>loss_G</code> on that GPU and run backward from there?</p>
<p>BTW, for distributed training discussions, please consider adding a “distributed” tag. People working on distributed training will actively checking that category.</p>
