Description

Hi, I'm trying to train with FP16. Whenever I set BN layers to float type, it gives me

RuntimeError: Expected object of type torch.cuda.HalfTensor but found type torch.cuda.FloatTensor for argument #3 'weight'

  • Environment: PyTorch 0.4, apex master branch

Does anyone have any ideas?
