Hi,
You’re right, I changed my dataclass to open the file in __init__
and it opens much faster and retreives data quickly. I tried to use more than one worker, but I will still get an OS b-tree error. Upon investigation, if I were to just print paths, I would also get labels and sometimes empty arrays before the b-tree error. It works with num_of_workers set to 0, however, I’m assuming that will make things incredibly slow. Nevertheless, here is the updated class:
import torch.multiprocessing as mp
mp.set_start_method('fork')
from torch.utils import data
import h5py
class Features_Dataset(data.Dataset):
def __init__(self, archive, phase):
self.archive = h5py.File(archive, 'r', libver='latest', swmr=True)
assert self.archive.swmr_mode
self.labels = self.archive[str(phase) + '_labels']
self.data = self.archive[str(phase) + '_all_arrays']
self.img_paths = self.archive[str(phase) + '_img_paths']
def __getitem__(self, index):
datum = self.data[index]
label = self.labels[index]
path = self.img_paths[index]
return datum, label, path
def __len__(self):
return len(self.data)
def close(self):
self.archive.close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
train_dataset = Features_Dataset(archive= "featuresdata/train.hdf5", phase= 'train')
trainloader = data.DataLoader(train_dataset, num_workers=0, batch_size=1)
print(len(trainloader))
for i, (data, label, path) in enumerate(trainloader):
print(path)
I still get 0% utilization from the GPUs. Is it a problem with HDF5? Are there alternatives to use instead of hdf5, for example, loading into numpy arrays or would that be just as slow? I will eventually have hdf5 datasets that will contain 2,000,000 instances. This is merely a pilot test!
