Hello. Nowadays I notice that importance of batch size when optimize the models.
So I tried to push the envelope of memory limitation of CUDA.
And followed the kind explanation
this post 1 .
For my case, I could train on 16 batch. But couldn’t 32 batch.
So I accumulate gradient by backward and
optimizer.step() when even numbers epoch.
But I encountered that

main()
File “train.py”, line 641, in main
multi_label=args.multi_label)
File “train.py”, line 848, in train_epoch

RuntimeError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 26.00 MiB (GPU 0; 10.76 GiB total capacity; 9.38 GiB already allocated; 16.56 MiB free; 9.77 GiB reserved in total by PyTorch)
The above is encountered at first time of optimizer.step().
So I tried with 8 batch and optimizer.step() when multiples of 4 epochs.
But nothing changed even decrease to 1 batch.
I wonder which allocate the  9.38 GiB already.
Or I wonder It is problem with second order optimization.
Would anybody help me?
