What kind of data augmentation methods are you currently using?
If you are using PIL
, you might want to install PIL-SIMD
, which is a drop-in replacement and will use SIMD operations to speed up the transformations.
Are you using multiple workers in your DataLoader
? This should usually speeding up the data loading and processing.
If you are bottlenecked by the CPU and have enough GPU resources, you might also try to use NVIDIA/DALI. @JanuszL might give you some more information about it. Have a look at his post here for some additional information.
