Thanks Pascal.


I tried using gpu preallocate 0.01 and 0.1. The run with 0.1, for instance, 
starts like this:


$ python scripts/run_rl_mj.py --env_name CartPole-v0 --log trpo_logs/
CartPole-v0
Using cuDNN version 5105 on context None 
Preallocating 1218/12186 Mb (0.100000) on cuda 
Mapped name None to device cuda: TITAN X (Pascal) (0000:01:00.0)


But the same error message results:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "scripts/run_rl_mj.py", line 116, in <module>
    main()
  File "scripts/run_rl_mj.py", line 109, in main

    cfg=self.sim_cfg)
  File "/home/daniel/imitation_noise/policyopt/__init__.py", line 425, in 
sim_mp
    traj = job.get()
  File "/home/daniel/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 
567, in get
    raise self._value
pygpu.gpuarray.GpuArrayException: Out of memory

Apply node that caused the error: GpuFromHost<None>(obsfeat_B_Df)

Abs(Composite{(i0 - sqr(i1))}(i2, i3))))))}}[]<gpuarray>.0)]]

HINT: Re-running with most Theano optimization disabled could give you a 
back-trace of when this node was created. This can be done with by setting 
the Theano flag 'optimizer=fast_compile'. If that does not work, Theano 
optimizations can be disabled with 'optimizer=None'.
HINT: Use the Theano flag 'exception_verbosity=high' for a debugprint and 
storage map footprint of this apply node.


With -1 as the preallocate, I get this to start:


$ python scripts/run_rl_mj.py --env_name CartPole-v0 --log trpo_logs/
CartPole-v0
Using cuDNN version 5105 on context None
Disabling allocation cache on cuda


I get a similar error message except it's slightly different, with an 
initialization error, but the same part of the code is running into 
problems:

Yes, the code seems to be using multiprocessing. I will try to see if I can 
find out how to deal with the multiprocessing, or perhaps just disable it.
