Description

Description

I'm currently implementing XDeepFM but can't get training on the gpu. I followed the instructions in the GPU support section here.

When I trigger the training, I see the GPU memory in use but utilization stays @ 0. Sometimes, it changes to 1% and then 6% but the majority of the time, it stays @ 0%.

A single cpu stays at 100% however. I do not believe the GPU is being utilized. Any ideas?

Research direction
Check if the model and data are on the GPU by examining device placement. Use profiling tools like nvidia smi and Python's time to identify if CPU bound data loading is the bottleneck. Ensure tensor operations are on GPU.
