Execution time

[marcelo__cesar]

If there are processes that take longer to execute (72 hours on average) compared to the default runtime value:
  resources_max.walltime = 24:00:00
How can I do to request a longer runtime and in this way execute the process correctly?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

We understand your concern.But the walltime can be set to only a maximum of 24 hours to ensure a fair utilization of resources by all the DevCloud users. Hence we cannot increase the walltime greater than 24 hours.

1. For the purpose of training we recommend you to restore the last saved checkpoint and continue training from that point.
2. Please refer the following url ( https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/tips-to-improve-performance-for-popular-deep-learning-fram... ) to get more insight on improving the execution time of the programs that use popular deep learning frameworks in the background..

Hope this clarifies your question. Please feel free to contact us in case of further queries.

Thanks.
