Description

The code example in
https://github.com/NVIDIA/DALI/blob/master/docs/examples/pytorch/resnet50/main.py
uses AMP differently than how it is used in
https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex/blob/master/examples/imagenet/main_amp.py

Can someone please update these examples? Not sure if I should open this issue on DALI repo, but ideally both repos should show consistent examples how to use AMP + DALI.

Research direction

Start by comparing docs/examples/pytorch/resnet50/main.py in DALI with examples/imagenet/main_amp.py in Apex, and check the surrounding project guidance for AMP and DALI usage. Clarify the intended consistent pattern, update the relevant examples in both repositories, and verify that they present the same usage.
