The GraphQL N+1 Problem and Why DataLoader Is Still the Pragmatic Fix
GraphQL resolvers execute independently, so a list query with nested fields silently becomes N+1 database calls. Here's how DataLoader's batching fixes it, with a worked example and the two production mistakes to avoid.
Fork or Spawn: Which Start Method Should a CUDA DataLoader Pipeline Standardize On?
GPU training with DataLoader(num_workers>0) carries a start-method decision PyTorch leaves to the user. Python's long-standing Linux default, fork , starts workers almost instantly and lets them inherit parent memory, including CUDA state. spawn isolates each worker in a fresh interpreter, re-importing the module and re-initializing CUDA per worker. That
Non‑deterministic batch ordering in PyTorch DataLoader with multiple workers
Goal: Achieve deterministic batch ordering when using torch.utils.data.DataLoader with num_workers>0 while preserving the performance benefits of multiprocess data loading. Constraint: Setting a global seed via torch.manual_seed does not propagate uniquely to each worker, so workers may generate identical augmentation sequences unless a worker_init_fn is
PyTorch DataLoader and IterableDataset: Worker-Level Data Shuffling
When scaling data pipelines for large-scale datasets, torch.utils.data.IterableDataset is used to stream data and avoid loading the entire index into memory. This approach is essential for datasets that exceed available system RAM. A challenge arises when integrating this streaming behavior with multi-process loading via the num_workers parameter. While Data
