Error while running l1-norm-pruning on Windows machine #57

Hi,

I am trying to run the code for l1-norm-pruning on windows machine. But I am getting an error due to multiprocessing failure as follows:

RuntimeError: An attempt has been made to start a new process before the current process has finished its bootstrapping phase.

This probably means that you are not using fork to start your child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom in the main module:

if name == 'main': freeze_support() ...

The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.

Any solution how to mitigate that error?

can you point me which file are you referring to here?

training VGG-16

python main.py --dataset cifar10 --arch vgg --depth 16

can you point to which file? I don't think we have the function call to freeze_support anywhere in the code.
