Let’s say I make a custom module as follows
import torch
import torch.nn as nn

class MyModule(nn.Module):

	def __init__(self)

		super(MyModule, self).__init__()

		self.t = torch.rand(10)

	def forward(self, x):
		x = x + self.t
		print self.t.device # For demoing my question
		return x

Now, this module is included in some other module, say my network:
class MyNetwork(nn.Module):

	def __init__(self)

		super(MyOtherModule, self).__init__()

		self.mymod = MyModule()

	def forward(self, x):
		x = self.mymod(x)
		return x

When I create an instance of MyNetwork and put it on the GPU, why don’t the fields of MyModule get put on the same GPU?
For example:
device = torch.device(0)
net = MyNetwork().to(device)
net(torch.rand(10).to(device))

# Prints out
>> cpu

This is particularly frustrating when I want to use nn.DataParallel, as I always have to make sure to copy the data onto the right GPU (based on the input’s device).
Is there a better way to do this?
