Native CUDA amp input and weight dtype mismatch

Hi all,

when trying to use the native amp functionalities I run in the following error:

RuntimeError: Input type (torch.cuda.DoubleTensor) and weight type (torch.cuda.HalfTensor) should be the same

I use the @autocast() decorator and the GradScaler class.
PyTorch version is: 1.7.0.dev20200716

Thanks in advance for any hints or help!

Could you post a code snippet to reproduce this issue, please? :slight_smile:

Thanks for the crazy fast reply :slight_smile:

Sure, here is a gist with some code (sorry for the many lines):

I can post the entire code if you want, I just thought it might be too much code.

Thanks for the code!
Could you post the complete config and upload the kwargs used in the model?
Also, I assume you are using [batch_size, 3, 224, 224] shaped inputs?

Sure, I updated the gist to include the configs.
The kwargs are listed in the config and are sorted in the same way they are used in the model.

Exactly that is my input’s shape.

Thanks!
Based on the code it seems that you might be creating numpy arrays for your input data, which uses float64 by default as the dtype, before transforming them to tensors.
Could you transform the input tensors for float32 via tensor = tensor.float() before passing them to the model and rerun the code?

Alright, made the changes you suggest, I don’t know if I’m a step forward or still at the same point :slight_smile:

Now I get this error:

Any more help on this?
Thanks in advance!

I encounter a similar issue.

Previously, my dataset.py had this line: torch.from_numpy(data) and received RuntimeError: Input type (torch.cuda.DoubleTensor) and weight type (torch.cuda.HalfTensor) should be the same

I’ve changed it to torch.from_numpy(data).float() and the error went away.
