Is there any way to consume the whole gpu memory in pytorch?
I know it’s not an ideal case to have, but there are times when you don’t want others to interfare your training inside the same gpu. Like when you are doing training and evaluation, you could release your momery  and use it for other works to do faster processing. sometimes a big sentences could come to the batch so that you need more memory and someone comes after you to the server, runs  their process and you got OOM. this actually happens for me while training nmt system.
I don’t find any suggestions about this in PYTORCH.
From my experience of tensorflow it was their by default and to be honest I don’t like this feature by default.
I think this is a must have feature though it has some dark side.
I would very mich like to know how people handle this type of situation when server don’t have any type of resource allocator for gpus.
I got one forum post here which is not clear to me, How to occupy all the gpu memory at the beginning of training 3
and finally if this feature is not there right now, will it be included in the future  version of release?
