It doesn’t seem to work for me. I was trying to benchmark the old dataset with the new IterableDataset.
Can you look out what’s wrong here?
My Cifar100 images are in folders.
def read_files(files):
    images = [torch.tensor(np.array(Image.open(i))) for i in files]
    yield images

class Cifar100Dataset(IterableDataset):
    def __init__(self, path, folder, start, end):
        self.files = [file for directory in (path / folder).ls() for file in directory.ls()]
        self.start = start
        self.end = end
    
    def __iter__(self):
        worker_info = torch.utils.data.get_worker_info()
        if worker_info is None:
            return read_files(self.files[self.start:self.end])
        else:
            per_worker = int(math.ceil((self.end - self.start) / float(worker_info.num_workers)))
            worker_id = worker_info.id
            iter_start = self.start + worker_id * per_worker
            iter_end = min(iter_start + per_worker, self.end)
            return iter(read_files(self.files[iter_start:iter_end]))

It works well with num_workers = 0, but does not work with num_worker>1
ds = Cifar100Dataset(path, train_folder, start=0, end=1024)

Also I want to know the usage of start, and end and what should be the batch_size I  should pass in the Dataloader, because I am already specifying the start and end in Dataloader.
