Hi AgitatedDove14 , so I ran 3 experiments:
One with my current implementation (using "fork") One using "forkserver" One using "forkserver" + the DataLoader optimizationI sent you the results via MP, here are the outcomes:
fork -> 101 mins, low RAM usage (5Go constant), almost no IO forkserver -> 123 mins, high RAM usage (16Go, fluctuations), high IO forkserver + DataLoader optimization: 105 mins, high RAM usage (from 28Go to 16Go), high IO
CPU/GPU curves are the same for the 3 experiments. Switching to forkserver doesn't appear to be ideal for my use case because of the high mem consumption. The ideal solution for me would be to keep fork as it appears to be both fast and low resource consuming. Would that be something possible?
