When should I use .eval() ? I understand it is supposed to allow me to "evaluate my model". How do I turn it back off for training? Example training code using .eval() .
I am trying to initialize a tensor on Google Colab with GPU enabled. device = torch.device('cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu') t = torch.tensor([1,2], device=device) But I am getting this strange error. RuntimeError: CUDA error: device-side assert triggered CUDA kernel errors might be asynchronously reported at some other API call,so the stacktra
The torch.profiler.profile context manager provides detailed operator-level latency and memory consumption data via Kineto integration. While the profiler includes a schedule configuration to mitigate initial warmup overhead, the measurement accuracy for extremely small, high-frequency operators remains a concern. When capturing traces for models with many l
