Segmentation fault

[kevin01881]

Hello,

I tried to run GPT-2 and it worked fine. GPT-J however gives a Segmentation fault error (see attachment)

Could this be due to not having enough RAM? I only have 16 GB RAM and read that the model itself requires 16 GB RAM, so the 16 GB RAM would not enough (since only 60-70% is actually available for things other than the OS) but I figured the lacking GB's would be compensated with virtual RAM/swap/pagefile.

If it's due to insufficient RAM, I'll go and upgrade it to 32 GB later this month. But I'd like confirmation for that first before I spend the money! :)

Thanks!

Edit: Just rented a Google cloud instance with 32 GB RAM and it's working fine. Turns out I just need to install some extra memory in my machine. I'll do that in a few weeks. Issue closed!

I know this topic is closed, though using swap would be solution for segmentation fault, especially for RAM is less than 8GB.
It is like this.
