Hi, @mrshenli. I have read your post model parallel tutorial 1. Here is my problem, the code is avaiable here: cyclegan. The model is too large to fit in a single gpu, and the network uses multi loss, so I cannot easily split the model into 2 or more gpus which may make errors such as ‘Runtime Error: expected all tensors to be on the same device, but found at least two devices, cuda:1 and cuda:0’. Could you have a look at my codes and give some advice? Thanks.
My codes are as follows, the key codes have be given comments above and the command is ‘CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python cyclegan.py’:
