barry-jin opened a new issue #20315:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/20315
Looks like GPU memory will not be released after using `asnumpy()` method
for a large mxnet numpy ndarray with gpu context.
Code to reproduce:
```python
import mxnet as mx
from mxnet import npx, gluon
from mxnet.gluon import nn
npx.set_np()
mx.context._current.set(mx.gpu(0))
def check_layer_forward_withinput(net, x):
x_hybrid = x.copy()
x.attach_grad()
x_hybrid.attach_grad()
net.initialize()
with mx.autograd.record():
out1 = net(x)
out1.backward()
net.hybridize()
with mx.autograd.record():
out2 = net(x_hybrid)
out2.backward()
a, b = mx.context.gpu_memory_info(0)
print("Used memory {} GB, Total memory {} GB.".format((b - a) / (1024 *
1024 * 1024), b / (1024 * 1024 * 1024)))
mx.test_utils.assert_almost_equal(x.grad, x_hybrid.grad, rtol=1e-5,
atol=1e-6)
mx.test_utils.assert_almost_equal(out1, out2, rtol=1e-5, atol=1e-6)
def test_slice_pooling2d():
# transpose shape to bring feature dimension 'c' from 2nd position to
last
def transpose(shape):
return (shape[0],) + shape[2:] + (shape[1],)
for layout in ['NCHW', 'NHWC']:
max_pooling = nn.MaxPool2D(layout=layout)
avg_pooling = nn.AvgPool2D(layout=layout)
global_maxpooling = nn.GlobalMaxPool2D(layout=layout)
global_avgpooling = nn.GlobalAvgPool2D(layout=layout)
pooling_layers = [max_pooling, avg_pooling, global_maxpooling,
global_avgpooling]
class Net(gluon.HybridBlock):
def __init__(self,
slice,
pooling_layer,
**kwargs):
super(Net, self).__init__(**kwargs)
self.slice = slice
self.pool0 = pooling_layer
def forward(self, x):
x_slice = mx.npx.slice(x, begin=self.slice[0],
end=self.slice[1])
out = self.pool0(x_slice)
return out
xshape = (16, 128, 256, 256)
# xshape = (8, 64, 128, 128)
slice_shape = (4, 16, 32, 64)
if layout == 'NHWC':
xshape = transpose(xshape)
slice_shape = transpose(slice_shape)
x = mx.np.random.uniform(size=xshape)
slice = [(0, 0, 0, 0), slice_shape]
for i in range(len(pooling_layers)):
net = Net(slice, pooling_layers[i])
check_layer_forward_withinput(net, x)
if __name__ == '__main__':
test_slice_pooling2d()
```
Before comment out `mx.test_utils.assert_almost_equal()` these two lines:
```

After comment out these two lines:
```

```
After change xshape to a relatively smaller one (8, 64, 128, 128), the
memory usage looks normal.
