如何解释张量流中的Poolallocator消息？

Question

在训练tensorflow seq2seq模型时,我看到以下消息:

这是什么意思,这是否意味着我有一些资源分配问题？我在Titan X 3500+ CUDA,12 GB GPU上运行

TensorFlow有多个内存分配器,用于以不同方式使用的内存.他们的行为有一些适应性方面.

在您的特定情况下,由于您使用的是GPU,因此有一个用于CPU内存的PoolAllocator预先注册到GPU以实现快速DMA.例如,预期从CPU转移到GPU的张量将从该池分配.

PoolAllocators尝试通过保留有资格立即重用的已分配然后释放的块池来分摊调用更昂贵的底层分配器的成本.他们的默认行为是缓慢增长,直到驱逐率降至某个常数以下.(逐出率是我们从池中,以不超过大小限制返回未使用的块底层游泳池免费通话的比例.)在日志消息上面,你会看到"提高pool_size_limit_"线,展示了游泳池规模越来越大 假设您的程序实际上具有稳定状态行为,并且需要最大大小的块集合,则池将增长以适应它,然后不再增长.它以这种方式运行,而不是简单地保留所有分配的块,以便很少或仅在程序启动期间需要的大小不太可能保留在池中.

如果内存不足,这些消息应该只是引起关注的原因.在这种情况下,日志消息可以帮助诊断问题.另请注意,峰值执行速度可能仅在内存池增长到适当大小后才能实现.
