RuntimeError: Input type (torch.FloatTensor) and weight type (torch.cuda.FloatTensor) should be the same
You get this error because your model is on the GPU, but your data is on the CPU. So, you need to send your input tensors to the GPU.
inputs, labels = data # this is what you had
inputs, labels = inputs.cuda(), labels.cuda() # add this line
Or like this, to stay consistent with the rest of your code:
device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
inputs, labels = inputs.to(device), labels.to(device)
The same error will be raised if your input tensors are on the GPU but your model weights aren't. In this case, you need to send your model weights to the GPU.
model = MyModel()
if torch.cuda.is_available():
model.cuda()
Here is the documentation for cuda()
and cpu()
, its opposite.
The new API is to use .to()
method.
The advantage is obvious and important. Your device may tomorrow be something other than "cuda":
- cpu
- cuda
- mkldnn
- opengl
- opencl
- ideep
- hip
- msnpu
- xla
So try to avoid model.cuda()
It is not wrong to check for the device
dev = torch.device("cuda") if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.device("cpu")
or to hardcode it:
dev=torch.device("cuda")
same as:
dev="cuda"
In general you can use this code:
model.to(dev)
data = data.to(dev)
As already mentioned in the previous answers, the issue can be that your model is trained on the GPU, but it's tested on the CPU. If that's the case then you need to port your model's weights and the data from the GPU to the CPU like this:
device = args.device # "cuda" / "cpu"
if "cuda" in device and not torch.cuda.is_available():
device = "cpu"
data = data.to(device)
model.to(device)
NOTE: Here we still check if the configuration arguments are set to GPU or CPU, so that this piece of code can be used for both training (on the GPU) and testing (on the CPU).
* when you get this error::RuntimeError: Input type
(torch.FloatTensor) and weight type (torch.cuda.FloatTensor should
be the same
# Move tensors to GPU is CUDA is available
# Check if CUDA is available
train_on_gpu = torch.cuda.is_available()
If train_on_gpu:
print("CUDA is available! Training on GPU...")
else:
print("CUDA is not available. Training on CPU...")
-------------------
# Move tensors to GPU is CUDA is available
if train_on_gpu:
model.cuda()
