This PR use smart pointer to hold grads and release the fwd vars. In this way, we can save lots of memory:
Test on Resnet, with Tesla K40m(Mem 11439MiB):
Without smart pointer : max batch size -> 56
With smart pointer: max batch size -> 99
And We test the convergence of several models under
models/dygraph
the result is as follow:Mnist:
