Thanks for the reply but now I am trying to submit new tasks including getting datasets and still takes ~5min (excluding running my code), any idea what could be happening/how to debug?

Ok, good to know! Thank you very much for doing this!

Ok, the files are 20mb or less. I will try to profile the code and I will get back to you with the results. Never had issues with the internet stability so it shouldn't be that.

Hey @<1541592213111181312:profile|PleasantCoral12> thanks for doing the profiling! This looks pretty normal to me. Although 37 seconds for a dataset.get is definitely too much. I just checked and for me it takes 3.7 seconds. Mind you the .get() method doesn't actually download the data, so the dataset size is irrelevant here.

But the slowdowns do seem to only occur when doing api requests. Possible next steps could be:

  • Send me your username and email address (maybe dm if you don't want it public)
  • Test the same code but on e.g. your mobile hotspot to try and exclude the internet connection as a possible issue

Here is the kernprofiler results from putting @profile before dataset.get:
It took 37s to access a dataset that must be in local cache since I use the same datset multiple times. Dataset size is a few mb stored in azure data storage, is this normal time duration? (had to cut the report because of message size limitation)
Total time: 37.5027 s

It shouldn't quite take 4 minutes. We did just have a server update so maybe there are some delays from there?

That said, it will take a little time, even if the code itself is very simple. This is a fixed cost overhead of ClearML analysing your runtime environment, packages etc.
This runs async though, so when the code itself takes more time, you won't notice this fixed cost as much, of course with just printing text it will be the majority of the runtime 🙂

Hi @<1541592213111181312:profile|PleasantCoral12> thanks for sending me the details. Out of curiosity, could it be that your codebase / environment (apart from the clearml code, e.g. the whole git repo) is quit large? ClearML does a scan of your repo and packages every time a task is initialized, maybe that could be it. In the meantime I'm asking our devs if they can see any weird lag with your account on our end 🙂

How large are the datasets? To learn more you can always try to run something like line_profiler/kerprof, to get exactly how long a specific python line takes. How fast/stable is your internet?
