Aggressive swapping in robosuite training #8

Closed feup-jmc closed 2 years ago

feup-jmc commented 2 years ago

Hello, and once again thanks for the great work on this repo!

This is not so much an issue with RAPS errors but rather something I've observed when training RAPS. Unlike the other suites included with RAPS, robosuite has very high disk usage during training. I am unsure whether this is an isolated issue, but there is a constant writing of data to swap of between 0 and 400 MB/s (with some peaks as high as 1200MB/s). This can be quite damaging to an SSD in the long-term (like in my setup), given the limited number of writes characteristic of these drives.

Is there something that can be done about this?

Hi, sorry for the late response. I am not sure why this is happening - but if this is a robosuite specific issue it might be worth asking on the robosuite github page? I didn't make any modifications to their code that would cause something like this (at least that I know of) so it might be an issue with standard robosuite as well.
