Newbie questions - torch on Google Colab

@CarloCattano

The first warning Im worried about is this one. Apparently colab complains about the number of workers.

This warning is raised from the DataLoader as it tries to suggest the recommended number of workers based on the system resources here.
Try to lower the number to the suggested and and check if it yields a speedup.

Something odd is happening with my ckpt’s. They seem to load fine but I get the following warning once I resume a training after a disconnect:

This warning seems to be raised from Lightning here and I don’t know what might be causing it. Based on the message I guess different “versions” are stored and the latest one is used to reload the model?

@CarloCattano

Are previous ckpt’s at all necessary ?
could I just remove previous runs and just keep the last.ckpt and corresponding run ? My google drive is filling up quite fast otherwise

Could you explain what “version” refers to? If these are corresponding to e.g. the epoch, you could try to save only the last or best epoch to avoid the storage issue.
