cpu training possible?

[jeremy-rutman]

I have some cloud servers with idle cpu , is it possible to run this without gpu? I don't see any such params in cli.py. There's an assert for gpu availability but its not clear to me how vital that is down the road.

Considering that the line AssertionError: You need to have an Nvidia GPU with CUDA installed. popped up in PowerShell for me after I tried to run a command, I'd say that you can't, unless there's a working fork of this that someone made that does. Otherwise, contact the dev directly and/or wait.

Changing device("gpu") to device("cpu") and .cuda(...) to .cpu() should work. Also you can remove the asserts related to GPU.

Hello @gigaturbo, I tried your fork, but upon executing it I get the following error:

$ python lightweight_gan/lightweight_gan.py --data ../filtered_dataset --image-size 1024
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lightweight_gan/lightweight_gan.py", line 27, in <module>
    from lightweight_gan.diff_augment import DiffAugment
  File "/home/giacomo/lightweight-gan-cpu/lightweight_gan/lightweight_gan.py", line 27, in <module>
    from lightweight_gan.diff_augment import DiffAugment
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lightweight_gan.diff_augment'; 'lightweight_gan' is not a package

Executing $ pip install lightweight-gan did not solve the problem. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your help,
