PyTorch runs out of memory in termux, although everything is fine on the PC. What to do?

Question

Python

Hello. I'm trying to run pix2pix in termux, namely termux-ubuntu . But after some time, termux crashes. Through the ps command, I monitored the memory used, almost always the use of termux does not exceed 1.4GB. But at some point the memory usage becomes 4.56gb (only 3gb on the phone) and a second later termux crashes. On the PC, I monitored memory usage in various ways (both through the tasklist command, and through the memory-profiler module , and a few more ways.), But it does not use more than 1.6GB.

How is it possible that on a PC one memory usage, and on android another, although the code is the same? And how can this problem be solved?

Answer 1

Android apps crash due to outdated OS version. The program cache was unpacked to the wrong device memory directory.
