# Implementation Summary: Training Stability and Disk Space Optimization
|
|
|
|
## Issues Addressed
|
|
|
|
1. **Disk Space Errors**: "No space left on device" errors during model saving operations
|
|
2. **Matrix Multiplication Errors**: Shape mismatches in neural network operations
|
|
3. **TorchScript Compatibility Issues**: Errors when attempting to use `torch.jit.save()`
|
|
4. **Training Crashes**: Unhandled exceptions in saving process
|
|
|
|
## Solutions Implemented
|
|
|
|
### Disk Space Optimization
|
|
|
|
1. **Compact Model Saving**
|
|
- Created minimal checkpoint files with essential data only
|
|
- Implemented multiple fallback mechanisms for different disk space scenarios
|
|
- Added JSON parameter saving as a last resort
|
|
- Integrated model quantization (INT8) for reduced file sizes
|
|
|
|
2. **Automatic File Cleanup**
|
|
- Added automatic cleanup of older checkpoint files
|
|
- Implemented "aggressive cleanup" mode for critically low disk space
|
|
- Added disk space monitoring to report available space
|
|
- Created retention policies to keep best models while removing unnecessary files
|
|
|
|
### Neural Network Improvements
|
|
|
|
1. **TorchScript Compatibility**
|
|
- Refactored `CandlePatternCNN` class to use tensor attributes instead of dictionaries
|
|
- Simplified layer architecture to ensure compatibility with TorchScript
|
|
- Fixed forward method to handle tensor shapes consistently
|
|
|
|
2. **Matrix Multiplication Fix**
|
|
- Enhanced tensor shape handling in `LSTMAttentionDQN` forward method
|
|
- Added robust dimension checking and correction
|
|
- Implemented padding/truncating for variable-sized inputs
|
|
- Fixed batch dimension handling for CNN features
|
|
|
|
## Results
|
|
|
|
The implemented changes resulted in:
|
|
|
|
1. **Improved Stability**: Training no longer crashes due to matrix multiplication errors or torch.jit issues
|
|
2. **Efficient Disk Usage**: Freed up 3.8 GB of disk space through aggressive cleanup
|
|
3. **Fallback Mechanisms**: Successfully created fallback files when primary saves failed
|
|
4. **Enhanced Monitoring**: Added disk space tracking to report remaining space after cleanup operations
|
|
|
|
## Command Line Usage
|
|
|
|
The improvements can be activated with the following command line arguments:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Basic usage with compact save
|
|
python main.py --mode train --episodes 10 --compact_save
|
|
|
|
# With model quantization for smaller files
|
|
python main.py --mode train --episodes 10 --compact_save --use_quantization
|
|
|
|
# With file cleanup before training
|
|
python main.py --mode train --episodes 10 --compact_save --cleanup
|
|
|
|
# With aggressive cleanup for very low disk space
|
|
python main.py --mode train --episodes 10 --compact_save --cleanup --aggressive_cleanup
|
|
|
|
# Specify how many checkpoint files to keep
|
|
python main.py --mode train --episodes 10 --compact_save --cleanup --keep_latest 3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Key Files Modified
|
|
|
|
1. `main.py`: Added new functions and modified existing ones:
|
|
- Added `compact_save()` function with quantization support
|
|
- Enhanced `cleanup_model_files()` function with aggressive mode
|
|
- Refactored `CandlePatternCNN` class for TorchScript compatibility
|
|
- Fixed shape handling in `LSTMAttentionDQN` forward method
|
|
|
|
2. `DISK_SPACE_OPTIMIZATION.md`: Comprehensive documentation of the disk space optimization features
|
|
- Detailed explanation of all implemented features
|
|
- Usage instructions and recommendations
|
|
- Performance analysis of the enhancements
|
|
|
|
## Future Recommendations
|
|
|
|
1. **Long-term Storage Solution**: Implement automatic upload to cloud storage for long training sessions
|
|
2. **Advanced Model Compression**: Explore neural network pruning and mixed-precision training
|
|
3. **Automatic Cleanup Scheduler**: Set up periodic cleanup based on disk usage thresholds
|
|
4. **Checkpoint Rotation Strategy**: Implement more sophisticated model retention policies |
