Reply to Introducing Accelerated PyTorch Training on Mac in v1.12
I've been experimenting with the new build and I'm not sure I'm seeing any signs that the GPU is being used. The activity monitor GPU window doesn't spike when I train a classifier on the CIFAR set. The torch.cuda.is_available() value is still false, which I guess you’d expect, but if I create a tensor, tensor.device still shows CPU. All torch.device() are still set to cuda. Is it working on a metal GPU now without saying it’s working on a gpu or something? Are there new torch properties for metal to replace the cuda ones? Does the gpu engage without any indication that it does? Thanks!
