pytorch CUDA out of memory when training on big image












1















When I train a model with 512*512 images with batch_size=4, it works,
but when I train it with 1024*1024 images with batch_size=1, the cuda out of memory error happens.



I am confused, the total number of pixels are equal. Why one 1024*1024 image uses more memory than four 512*512 images?

  • I had the same problem I couldn't find any solution. Actually, I am trying to implement a paper, and even in that paper, author mentioned we cannot train using 1024*1024 or above. They tested their implementation on 2 Nvidia 1080 Ti with 2*12GB GPU memory. If you find any solution, please tell me. Thank you
