Efficient Data Loading Best Practice

  1. Use num_workers = min(8, os.cpu_count()) for DataLoader
  2. Enable pin_memory=True when using GPU
  3. Use persistent_workers=True to avoid re-spawning
  4. Pre-compute and cache transformations when possible
  5. For image data: use torchvision.transforms.v2 (faster)
  6. For large datasets: consider memory-mapped files or WebDataset
  7. Profile with torch.utils.bottleneck to find I/O bottlenecks
