Can I delete older checkpoints? #172

Closed mehanelson closed 8 years ago

mehanelson commented 8 years ago

I'm running char-rnn on 200MB input.txt file and it will be running for days (so it seems!) so I would like to delete the older checkpoints from time to time and only keep the last 5 latest ones so that it doesn't exhaust my memory as I'm using an amazon ec2 instance.

Will deleting the older checkpoints affect the ongoing execution of train.lua in anyway?? Are all checkpoints created independent of each other and hold no dependency to previous checkpoints?

Any views on this? Thank you!
