Memory usage steadily increasing when using back propagation with sparse CSR parameter matrices on CPU #109445
Comments
Hello @julius-frenzel, thank you for submitting the issue. Does this persist with the most recent nightly? Thank you |
Hello, thanks for the reply. pip3 install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cpu Regards Julius |
I did some more experimentation and found that the problem only occurs when using |
Just wanted to confirm that the problem persists with version 2.2.1. |
I've been doing a similar thing and it's resulting in a segfault actually -- I pass |
🐛 Description of the Bug
I encountered steadily increasing RAM usage when using back propagation with sparse CSR matrices on CPU. Below is the reduced code, which for me produces this behavior. As you can see, I was trying to train an RNN network with sparse parameter matrices (then they were actually sparse). When running this code with the non-working line RAM usage keeps increasing at a rate of about 100 MB/s on my machine.
Notably when using a dense or sparse COO layout, it works just fine. I tried some possible solutions, like manual garbage collection and detaching the state and output variables from the computational graph in the outer loop. Nothing short of using detach() on the state in the inner loop worked for me, which obviously would defeat the purpose of an RNN. I therefore concluded that this likely is unintended behavior.
My setup is in no way special. I just installed PyTorch using pip and ran my code.
