RuntimeError: Expected to mark a variable ready only once.

[dejiesmile]

Hi, I'm new to ibot and mmcv, sorry to disturb. I'm trying to reproduce the object detection task in evaluation phase. I set the job name to "first_try" and my command is shown below:

./run.sh ade20k_seg first_try vit_small teacher 4   data.samples_per_gpu=4   model.backbone.out_with_norm=true   optimizer.lr=3e-5

and an error occurred before training:

RuntimeError: Expected to mark a variable ready only once. This error is caused by one of the following reasons: 1) Use of a module parameter outside the `forward` function. Please make sure model parameters are not shared across multiple concurrent forward-backward passes2) Reused parameters in multiple reentrant backward passes. For example, if you use multiple `checkpoint` functions to wrap the same part of your model, it would result in the same set of parameters been used by different reentrant backward passes multiple times, and hence marking a variable ready multiple times. DDP does not support such use cases yet.

I also tried the linear head for segmentation, and there is no such error. Have you ever encountered such a problem? Thanks a lot!

have you solved this problem? I meet a same one
