Hi, due to isaacgym overrides the cuda backend of pytorch, it probabily skips some validity check when you operating tenors.
Could you locate which line of code that triggers the illegal memory access
error?
maybe legged_robot_field.py,line 330.
Besides that,it has shown CUDA out of memory before.I wondered if it may mean my GPU could not run this project?
Hmmm, line 330 in legged_robot_field.py
is the process of translating obs_scale
in to tensor if needed. This cannot be the code that triggers the error.
For the out-of-memory error, maybe there are too many short episodes (shorter than num_steps_per_env
). Try checking the training procedure by remove the --headless
command and decrease the num_envs
in class env
and num_rows
, num_cols
in class terrain
. One possible reason that leads to "too many short episodes" is that, the robot is initialized to a terminate condition.
I run all my experience on Nvidia 3090 GPU with 23GB memory.
Maybe decrease the num_steps_per_env
to 8 or 16 and try decrease num_envs
when you start training.
OH!Thanks for your recommendations!I guess I could run this project now.By the way, my Gpu is Nvidia 3060 with 6GB memory.I wondered if it could run this project well? Actually I am finishing my undergraduate thesis, that could be important to me. At last thanks for your great work again!
The lack of GPU memory could lower your sample efficiency, thus increasing the time of your experiment iterations.
I recommend renting at least one 3090 GPU or applying for some old but functioning GPU cluster in your school, e.g. P40 or A40 GPUs.
I followed your recommendation then I run this project well. But now I meet another issue. When I played it, it said Segmentation fault (core dumped), actually I didn't do any changes based on your work. Thanks for your great work! I am doing some similar work, it really helps me a lot!
It seems you are using a 3060 laptop? What is your OS? It can't be windows with wsl or docker. I tried but gave up. lol
It probability because of using graphics that requires something like Vulkan, or simply leading to out of memory. Make sure your OS has proper display support (both hardware and software).
Yes but I rented a 3090 GPU. My OS is Linux, Ubuntu 20.04.
Is it a cloud service virtual machine? play.py
requires a display. You can try the official example script, e.g. isaacgym_preview4/python/examples/joint_monkey.py
I used to play it at the very beginning. At that time I decreased the num_envs in class env and num_rows, num_cols in class terrain and played it by my own GPU. It could run but I found that my robots didn't learn anything. Then I followed another isuue and I successfully solved this problem. However now I cannot play it again.

play.py
requires a display. You can try the official example script, e.g.isaacgym_preview4/python/examples/joint_monkey.py
On AutoDL, but not virtual machine.
So, what's is the machine you run play.py
? Can you successfully run the joint_monkey.py
example from isaacgym?
Oh I cannot run the example. I run play.py on my own laptop
I think it is due to my GPU and my graphics card are unmatched?
Sorry for disturbing you so many times. Now I found out where the problem be. The server I rent hasn't been installed the GUI. So I could run isaacgym by --headless but could not play it. I wonder how to solve this problem. Thanks sooooooo much!
You may use Nvidia docker. Please refer to the docker
folder in isaacgym.
I'm so sorry about disturbing u so many times but i found out a question right now. Actually I cannot find "A1FieldDistillCfgPPO.runner.pretrain_dataset.data_dir" in a1_field_distill_config.py. So how shuold I run data collection?
Oh, for data_dir
, it is for training from a pre-collected trajectory. Maybe check out how scan_dir
is used in the runner and the dataset.
For triggering the data collection process, please check scripts/collect.py
, which is an example of how to start the data collection.
You can either collect the trajectory completely from teacher policy or collect the trajectory with action label in the DAgger manner.
Hi, thank you for your great job about parkour. I encountered some problems about my GPU memory.It said that an illegal memory access was encountered.
