kandi X-RAY | gputil Summary
GPUtil is a Python module for getting the GPU status from NVIDA GPUs using nvidia-smi. GPUtil locates all GPUs on the computer, determines their availablity and returns a ordered list of available GPUs. Availablity is based upon the current memory consumption and load of each GPU. The module is written with GPU selection for Deep Learning in mind, but it is not task/library specific and it can be applied to any task, where it may be useful to identify available GPUs.

QUESTION
I am attempting to train Deeplab Resnet V3 to perform semantic segmentation on a custom dataset. I had been working on my local machine however my GPU is just a small Quadro T1000 so I decided to move my model onto Google Colab to take advantage of their GPU instances and get better results.
Whilst I get the speed increase I was hoping for, I am getting wildly different training losses on colab compared to my local machine. I have copied and pasted the exact same code so the only difference I can find would be in the dataset. I am using the exact same dataset except for the one on colab is a copy of the local dataset on Google Drive. I have noticed that Drive orders file differently on Windows but I can't see how this is a problem since I randomly shuffle the dataset. I understand that these random splitting can cause small differences in the outputs however a difference of about 10x in the training losses doesn't make sense.
I have also tried running the version on colab with different random seeds, different batch sizes, different train_test_split parameters, and changing the optimizer from SGD to Adam, however, this still causes the model to converge very early at a loss of around 0.5.
Here is my code:

Answered 2021-Mar-09 at 09:24I fixed this problem by unzipping the training data to Google Drive and reading the files from there instead of using the Colab command to unzip the folder to my workspace directly. I have absolutely no idea why this was causing the problem; a quick visual inspection at the images and their corresponding tensors looks fine, but I can't go through each of the 6,000 or so images to check every one. If anyone knows why this was causing a problem, please let me know!
QUESTION
I have a program running on Google Colab in which I need to monitor GPU usage while it is running. I am aware that usually you would use nvidia-smi
in a command line to display GPU usage, but since Colab only allows one cell to run at once at any one time, this isn't an option. Currently, I am using GPUtil
and monitoring GPU and VRAM usage with GPUtil.getGPUs()[0].load
and GPUtil.getGPUs()[0].memoryUsed
but I can't find a way for those pieces of code to execute at the same time as the rest of my code, thus the usage numbers are much lower than they actually should be. Is there any way to print the GPU usage while other code is running?

QUESTION
I want to run functions at the same time.
Also I want to know how to get return values when process ended.
Here is my codes ↓
[function 1 : training model]

Answered 2020-Dec-17 at 02:35I solved the problem using 'Thread' not multiprocessing.
Because of GIL(Global Interpreter Lock) multiprocessing doesn't work.
This is my fixed code below.
QUESTION
I am using Google Colaboratory to train an image recognition algorithm, using TensorFlow 1.15. I have uploaded all needed files into Google Drive, and have gotten the code to run until the shuffle buffer finishes running. However, I get a "^C" in the dialog box, and cannot figure out what is going on.
Note: I have previously tried to train the algorithm on my PC, and did not delete the checkpoint files that were generated from the previous training session. Could that perhaps be the problem?

...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Oct-26 at 20:02I can't run your code because you use some files in it. But I can tell you it is probably because you are using TF 1 with GPU, and in Colab downgrading is not easy when it comes to GPU.
For example, I don't see in your code that you've downgraded CUDA (to the version you want) like this:
QUESTION
I am running a Convnet on colab Pro GPU. I have selected GPU in my runtime and can confirm that GPU is available. I am running exactly the same network as yesterday evening, but it is taking about 2 hours per epoch... last night it took about 3 minutes per epoch... nothing has changed at all. I have a feeling colab may have restricted my GPU usage but I can't work out how to tell if this is the issue. Does GPU speed fluctuate much depending on time of day etc? Here are some diagnostics which I have printed, does anyone know how I can investigate deeper what the root cause of this slow behaviour is?
I also tried changing to accelerator in colab to 'None', and my network was the same speed as with 'GPU' selected, implying that for some reason i am no longer training on GPU, or resources have been severely limited. I am using Tensorflow 2.1.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Mar-22 at 13:06From Colab's FAQ:
The types of GPUs that are available in Colab vary over time. This is necessary for Colab to be able to provide access to these resources for free. The GPUs available in Colab often include Nvidia K80s, T4s, P4s and P100s. There is no way to choose what type of GPU you can connect to in Colab at any given time. Users who are interested in more reliable access to Colab’s fastest GPUs may be interested in Colab Pro.
If the code did not change, the issue is likely related to performance characteristics of the GPU types you happened to be connected to.

Install gputil
Type pip install gputil
Test the installation Open a terminal in a folder other than the GPUtil folder Start a python console by typing python in the terminal In the newly opened python console, type: import GPUtil GPUtil.showUtilization() Your output should look something like following, depending on your number of GPUs and their current usage: ID GPU MEM -------------- 0 0% 0%
