<h2>My model reports “cuda runtime error(2): out of memory”<a class="headerlink" href="#my-model-reports-cuda-runtime-error-2-out-of-memory" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>As the error message suggests, you have run out of memory on your
GPU. Since we often deal with large amounts of data in PyTorch,
small mistakes can rapidly cause your program to use up all of your
GPU; fortunately, the fixes in these cases are often simple.
Here are a few common things to check:</p>
<p><strong>Don’t accumulate history across your training loop.</strong>
By default, computations involving variables that require gradients
will keep history. This means that you should avoid using such
variables in computations which will live beyond your training loops,
e.g., when tracking statistics. Instead, you should detach the variable
or access its underlying data.</p>
<p>Sometimes, it can be non-obvious when differentiable variables can
occur. Consider the following training loop (abridged from <a class="reference external" href="https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/high-memory-usage-while-training/162">source</a>):</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">total_loss</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">0</span>
<span class="k">for</span> <span class="n">i</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="nb">range</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">10000</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="n">optimizer</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">zero_grad</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="n">output</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">model</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nb">input</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="n">loss</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">criterion</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">output</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="n">loss</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">backward</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="n">optimizer</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">step</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="n">total_loss</span> <span class="o">+=</span> <span class="n">loss</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Here, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">total_loss</span></code> is accumulating history across your training loop, since
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loss</span></code> is a differentiable variable with autograd history. You can fix this by
writing <cite>total_loss += float(loss)</cite> instead.</p>
<p>Other instances of this problem:
<a class="reference external" href="https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/resolved-gpu-out-of-memory-error-with-batch-size-1/3719">1</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t hold onto tensors and variables you don’t need.</strong>
If you assign a Tensor or Variable to a local, Python will not
deallocate until the local goes out of scope. You can free
this reference by using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">del</span> <span class="pre">x</span></code>. Similarly, if you assign
a Tensor or Variable to a member variable of an object, it will
not deallocate until the object goes out of scope. You will
get the best memory usage if you don’t hold onto temporaries
you don’t need.</p>
<p>The scopes of locals can be larger than you expect. For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">for</span> <span class="n">i</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="nb">range</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">5</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="n">intermediate</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">f</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nb">input</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="n">i</span><span class="p">])</span>
<span class="n">result</span> <span class="o">+=</span> <span class="n">g</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">intermediate</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="n">output</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">h</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">result</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">output</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Here, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">intermediate</span></code> remains live even while <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">h</span></code> is executing,
because its scope extrudes past the end of the loop. To free it
earlier, you should <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">del</span> <span class="pre">intermediate</span></code> when you are done with it.</p>
<p><strong>Avoid running RNNs on sequences that are too large.</strong>
The amount of memory required to backpropagate through an RNN scales
linearly with the length of the RNN input; thus, you will run out of memory
if you try to feed an RNN a sequence that is too long.</p>
<p>The technical term for this phenomenon is <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpropagation_through_time">backpropagation through time</a>,
and there are plenty of references for how to implement truncated
BPTT, including in the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pytorch/examples/tree/master/word_language_model">word language model</a> example; truncation is handled by the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">repackage</span></code> function as described in
<a class="reference external" href="https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/help-clarifying-repackage-hidden-in-word-language-model/226">this forum post</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t use linear layers that are too large.</strong>
A linear layer <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nn.Linear(m,</span> <span class="pre">n)</span></code> uses <span class="math"><span class="katex"><span class="katex-mathml"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mi>O</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>n</mi><mi>m</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">O(nm)</annotation></semantics></math></span><span class="katex-html" aria-hidden="true"><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:1em;vertical-align:-0.25em;"></span><span class="mord mathnormal" style="margin-right:0.02778em;">O</span><span class="mopen">(</span><span class="mord mathnormal">nm</span><span class="mclose">)</span></span></span></span></span> memory: that is to say,
the memory requirements of the weights
scales quadratically with the number of features. It is very easy

<h2>My GPU memory isn’t freed properly<a class="headerlink" href="#my-gpu-memory-isn-t-freed-properly" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>PyTorch uses a caching memory allocator to speed up memory allocations. As a
result, the values shown in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nvidia-smi</span></code> usually don’t reflect the true
memory usage. See <a class="reference internal" href="cuda.html#cuda-memory-management"><span class="std std-ref">Memory management</span></a> for more details about GPU
memory management.</p>
<p>If your GPU memory isn’t freed even after Python quits, it is very likely that
some Python subprocesses are still alive. You may find them via
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ps</span> <span class="pre">-elf</span> <span class="pre">|</span> <span class="pre">grep</span> <span class="pre">python</span></code> and manually kill them with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">kill</span> <span class="pre">-9</span> <span class="pre">[pid]</span></code>.</p>

<h2>My out of memory exception handler can’t allocate memory<a class="headerlink" href="#my-out-of-memory-exception-handler-can-t-allocate-memory" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>You may have some code that tries to recover from out of memory errors.</p>

</div>
<p>But find that when you do run out of memory, your recovery code can’t allocate
either. That’s because the python exception object holds a reference to the
stack frame where the error was raised. Which prevents the original tensor
objects from being freed. The solution is to move you OOM recovery code outside
of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">except</span></code> clause.</p>

longest input it sees, i.e., the longest on that particular device, size

instead take advantage of the <code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">total_length</span></code> argument of

<code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">forward()</span></code> calls return sequences of same length. For example, you can
write:</p>

<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0</span></code>. Extra code to manipulate the tensor shapes will be needed.</p>
