how to load the gpu trained model into the cpu?

Question

I am using PyTorch. I am going to use the already trained model on multiple GPUs with CPU. how to do this task?

I tried on Anaconda 3 and pytorch with cpu only i dont have gpu

model = models.get_pose_net(config, is_train=False)
gpus = [int(i) for i in config.GPUS.split(',')]
model = torch.nn.DataParallel(model, device_ids=gpus).cuda()

print('Created model...')
print(model)
checkpoint = torch.load(config.MODEL.RESUME)
model.load_state_dict(checkpoint)
model.eval()
print('Loaded pretrained weights...')

the error i got is

    AssertionError                            Traceback (most recent call  last)
<ipython-input-15-bbfcd201d332> in <module>()
      2 model = models.get_pose_net(config, is_train=False)
      3 gpus = [int(i) for i in config.GPUS.split(',')]
----> 4 model = torch.nn.DataParallel(model, device_ids=gpus).cuda()
      5 print('Created model...')
      6 print(model)

To force load the saved model onto cpu, use the following command.

torch.load('/path/to/saved/model', map_location='cpu')

In your case change it to

torch.load(config.MODEL.RESUME, map_location='cpu')
