We are currently solving the following issue within our repository. Here is the issue text:
--- BEGIN ISSUE ---
torch.nn.DataParallel supporting unequal sizes
As documented [here](http://pytorch.org/docs/master/_modules/torch/nn/parallel/data_parallel.html):
```
The batch size should be larger than the number of GPUs used. It should
    also be an integer multiple of the number of GPUs so that each chunk is the
    same size (so that each GPU processes the same number of samples).
```
To use `torch.nn.DataParallel`, people should carefully set the batch size according to the number of gpus they plan to use, otherwise it will pop up errors. 

This issue becomes more subtle when using `torch.utils.data.DataLoader` with `drop_last=False` by default. As the total number of training/validation samples varies with the dataset, the size of the last batch of data loaded by `torch.utils.data.DataLoader` is easy to become indivisible by the number of GPUs (e.g., 2,3,4,8,...).

A feature request would be:
supporting `torch.nn.DataParallel` with batch size indivisible by the number of GPUs used.

11     This container parallelizes the application of the given module by
12     splitting the input across the specified devices by chunking in the batch
13     dimension. In the forward pass, the module is replicated on each device,
14     and each replica handles a portion of the input. During the backwards
15     pass, gradients from each replica are summed into the original module.
