when memory pressure is high, you should do that explicitly on your own. I don't think it is fair to expect that cutorch do a particular operation on CPU implicitly in the background, as this can have many performance side effects that people generally would not expect.

soumith, device memory need better management especially when CUDA itself still not that smart there. I put a scenario here. you have 4G device ram, you alloc 1.5G first, later on you want to resize to 2.5G. in this case, the resize() call still possible "out of memory" crash if the first 1.5G alloc not align to memory boundary, then there are leaking memory in middle of whole device ram, which hold CUDA alloc continous 2.5G ram. ( but there still enough available ram there ).
resize() only called few times during whole training process, but it's the main reason cause crashing.
swap out, free, then swap in will be a good algo ( alloc small trunk instead of huge amount will be excellent one, but hard to implements. ) for the case when there do have enough RAM, but resize() still failed. it only have tiny performance impact , but it's a "life save" changes.
I did my testing, now the issue is not the performance impact, it's the alloc and free is controlled by cuda runtime. so even you free the "old" content before resize(), those memory space still not return to cuda runtime immediatly , I'll try to figure out how to do a sucess "swap" lol.

@smartbitcoin where you able to find a solution for this problem? I am encountering the same issue. I find it to be a major bottleneck

Kind of. I switch to Caffe, which Blob structure can let you control GRam flexible, but you need write some c++ code.
