When I tried to import PyTorch in python, it crashed with a segfault error:

“Segmentation fault (core dumped)” is all I have about the issue. Since the sys admin is very disagreeable, I have to figure out what the problem is myself. But I really don’t know what the cause of the crash could be. This thread 1 talked about this issue, but I couldn’t find a solution therein that works for me. I’m at my wits end so I ask here for help. Following is the configuration of the machine:

Remote Linux with core version 5.8.0. I am not a super user.
Python 3.8.6
CUDA Version: 11.1
GPU is RTX 3090 with driver version 455.23.05
CPU: Intel Core i9-10900K
PyTorch version: 1.8.0+cu111 (I found it at /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/torch/version.py)
System imposed RAM quota: 4GB
System imposed number of threads: 512198
System imposed RLIMIT_NPROC value: 300

If you need other information related to this error, please let me know. Thank you for helping me troubleshoot this problem.
