Greetings,
I’m currently on Fast.ai mooc, using their fastai V1 built over PyTorch 1.0.
It works like a charm on a 1080Ti + Ryzen 1700X, on Ubuntu 16.04 and Nvidia 410.73.
With the new generation of Nvidia RTX cards offering Tensor Cores, and the possibility of FP16 training via mixed-precision, I got hold of an RTX 2070.
When I try and run my usual Jupyter notebook in mixed precision on the RTX 2070, it crashes the kernel (without a specific error message to track the issue, just “The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically.”).
So I thought maybe the first step would be to go down one level to pure PyTorch code and run a “basic test” that would check if/how it triggers the Tensor Cores and FP16 training ?
Is that possible and if so, how should I proceed ?
Best regards,
