How to do parallel processing in pytorch
I am working on a deep learning problem. I am solving it using pytorch. I have two GPU's which are on the same machine (16273MiB,12193MiB). I want to use both the GPU's for my training (video dataset).

I get a warning:

There is an imbalance between your GPUs. You may want to exclude GPU 1 which
    has less than 75% of the memory or cores of GPU 0. You can do so by setting
    the device_ids argument to DataParallel, or by setting the CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
    environment variable.
  warnings.warn(imbalance_warn.format(device_ids[min_pos], device_ids[max_pos]))

I also get an error:

raise TypeError('Broadcast function not implemented for CPU tensors')

I have also made changes in my train file:

      model = nn.DataParallel(model(),device_ids=[0,1]).cuda() 
        outputs = model(inputs)


It does not seem to work properly and is giving error. Please advice, I am new to pytorch.

Thanks

As mentioned in this link, you have to do model.cuda() before passing it to nn.DataParallel.

net = nn.DataParallel(model.cuda(), device_ids=[0,1])
