❓ Questions and Help

I use COCO dataset and default setting.
This error occurred when running to 23540 iters.
Is this my dataset problem, or?

[jario-jin]

I used Detectron (https://github.com/facebookresearch/Detectron) for training in the same environment and did not encounter this problem. This means that the dataset should be all right. Anyone have the same problem?

[fmassa]

Can you try setting DATALOADER.NUM_WORKERS to 0 and run again? This should give you a better idea of the problem.

Also, one possibility is that one of the images of your dataset is corrupted, but because opencv (which is used by Detectron) loads corrupted images without complaining (while PIL by default raises a warning), this might be the issue.

[LaoYang1994]

I have run into this problem twice. Does anyone have solved this problem?

[jario-jin]

This problem occasionally occurs.
When I set DATALOADER. NUM_WORKERS to 0, this error did not occur again, but the training speed would decrease.
I still haven't found the specific reason.

[LaoYang1994]

Except setting DATALOADER. NUM_WORKERS to 0, is there any other ways to solve this problem?

[eric-xw]

I encountered the same issue at iteration 54700. Any fix for this?

[eric-xw]

In my case, it was caused by the CPU memory. After I increased my CPU memory on the cluster, the problem is gone.

[lironmo]

same here:
ERROR - worker:73 - call - trainer crashed. Error: DataLoader worker (pid 1159) is killed by signal: Killed.

[mainguyenanhvu]

I have run it in CPU and also met an error: RuntimeError: DataLoader worker (pid 16560) is killed by signal: Killed.

I followed @fmassa, it was killed and printed in terminal:

Please, help me. Thanks a lot.

[SaynaEbrahimi]

I removed def _init_fn(): np.random.seed(args.seed) form my torch.utils.data.DataLoader(). Now it is working with 4 workers but it is still not using multiple gpus when I use torch.nn.DataParallel(model).cuda(). Does anyone encountered this?

[Tato14]

Hi @SaynaEbrahimi, I am not able to find def _init_fn(): np.random.seed(args.seed) in the dataloader.py file. Should I find it somewhere else? Or is a matter of versions?

[qingnanli]

@SaynaEbrahimi @Tato14 Have you solved this problem? I met the same problem...xingyizhou/CenterNet#566

If you are also experiencing this problem, I found a solution: In my case, the Out Of Memory Killer killed the process. The solution was to create a bigger swap file and let the system use that:

linux@linux:~# fallocate -l 64G /tmp/swap
linux@linux:~# chmod 600 /tmp/swap
linux@linux:~# mkswap /tmp/swap
linux@linux:~# swapon /tmp/swap

You can verify that the swap is working by running swapon --show.

[Michel-liu]

For me, this problem sometimes happens in a docker virtual machine. Commonly, I will set the cpu count lager than NUM_WORKERS & use a bigger memory than the dataset used.

Yeah! This solved my problem. I can finally use multiple workers.

I'm in the same situation, how do I fix it?
