... for the lack of a better name,
LhotseDataLoader
. The main difference between this andtorch.utils.data.DataLoader
is thatLhotseDataLoader
allows to launch subprocesses inside of its workers. This is useful for working with dataset classes which perform dynamic batching and need to perform concurrent I/O to read all the necessary data from disk/network.This is tested locally with good speed-ups from the inner worker pool, I'll have to test it on the real thing next.
