Memory Pinning to Accelerate Model Training

SMRTR summary

A simple technique to accelerate GPU model training in PyTorch involves memory pinning. By changing two lines of code - setting pin_memory=True in DataLoader and non_blocking=True during data transfer - training time can be significantly reduced, as demonstrated with the MNIST dataset improving from 43 seconds to under 10 seconds for 5 epochs.
