Details

Hi, I have experienced CUDA out of memory error while trying out examples in jupyter notebook files. Is there any neat way of solving this error?

os: Ubuntu 20.04
gpu: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
cuda: 11.8
cudnn: 8
docker version: 24.0.1
docker image: nvcr.io/nvidia/merlin/merlin-pytorch-training:22.03
ipynb file: 02-ETL-with-NVTabular.ipynb

The code that throws an error cudaErrorMemoryAllocation out of memory:

train_dataset = nvt.Dataset([os.path.join(INPUT_DATA_DIR, "train.parquet")])

valid_dataset = nvt.Dataset([os.path.join(INPUT_DATA_DIR, "valid.parquet")])
%%time
workflow.fit(train_dataset)

Research direction

Start with 02-ETL-with-NVTabular.ipynb and the workflow.fit(train_dataset) call in the reported Ubuntu, Docker, and GPU environment. Reproduce the CUDA out-of-memory error and determine the documented change or example adjustment needed for the notebook to run successfully.
