python - How to swap from gpu to a cpu only?

Question

Hi I was wondering how can run a machine learning code onto my CPU instead of a GPU?

I have tried making the GPU false on the setting file but it hasn't been able to fix it.

### global settings

GPU = False                                                                 # running on GPU is highly suggested
CLEAN = False                                                                # set to "True" if you want to clean the temporary large files after generating result
APP = "classification"                                                       # Do not change! mode choide: "classification", "imagecap", "vqa". Currently "imagecap" and "vqa" are not supported.
CATAGORIES = ["object", "part"]                                              # Do not change! concept categories that are chosen to detect: "object", "part", "scene", "material", "texture", "color"
map_location='cpu'

CAM_THRESHOLD = 0.5                                                          # the threshold used for CAM visualization
FONT_PATH = "components/font.ttc"                                            # font file path
FONT_SIZE = 26                                                               # font size
SEG_RESOLUTION = 7                                                           # the resolution of cam map
BASIS_NUM = 7

If I am not wrong, you are getting the above error at code model = loadmodel(). I don't have an idea what you are doing inside loadmodel(), but you can try below points:

• Set defaults.device to cpu. To be completely sure, add a torch.cuda.set_device('cpu')
• Change torch.load(model_weights) to torch.load(model_weights, map_location=torch.device('cpu'))
