Caching images problem

[Bilgee]

I am trying to train a detection model using my custom dataset.
When I set image-size at 640, it works. But when I set mage-size at 1280, it shows the following error. I already tried --workers 0, but there was no difference.
yolov5: v4.0
env: google colab

@Bilgee don't --cache if your system doesn't have the RAM to support it.

@glenn-jocher thank you for reply. Yolov5 caching is memory caching? I think that caching makes special files like tfrecords, right?

it failed here. Google Colab RAM is almost 13GB.

[Bilgee]

I think that after creating train.cache or val.cache, the code does not release memory, so that it fails to allocate the more memory.

Try setting the image size between 640 and 1000 seems you are low on memory
