How to train two models at the same time?

[ericpan0513]

So, after I was not able to train with both of my GPUs(p106-100s which took me a long time dealing with), I wonder if it's possible to open two faceswap at the same time to train two models with two GPUs. Or maybe train and convert at the same time? That will be cool.
Just curious. Thanks!

Yes you can do this, use the "exclude GPU" option to exclude different GPUs for each instance.

Thanks, but how can I start another training process? I cannot open two gui at the same time. Or it just works on cli?

The GUI just calls the CLI options, you can click "generate" to give you the command line option to run in another window. That said, you can run multiple GUIs using

Code: Select all

  -LF LOGFILE, --logfile LOGFILE
                        Path to store the logfile. Leave blank to store in the
                        faceswap folder

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. And what does the code mean?
Does it mean that I should use cli window?

You can run 2 at the same time.
Will need 2 gpu.

You may open 2 gui and make sure each one has a different gpu selected in the 'exclude gpu' section.

2 gui running at the same time uses a bit of your ram. 16gb is fine.

Yeh I know, I just don't know how to open two GUIs haha.
I use the win_launcher to open the second one, however the commend window just popped up and disappear quickly with opening the second GUI.

Curious. I think mine just works.
Your's should too.
I'll try it in a few hours.

I can't remember without sitting at my computer but you can start a new conda environment and evoke the GUI.
I'll tell you in a few hours if someone doesn't beat me to it

[ericpan0513]

Thanks
And yes I start a new conda environment and it works. I just wanna know if there's a simpler way to do it.
