在深度计算框架MindSpore中如何对不持续的计算进行处理——对数据集进行一定epoch数量的训练后，进行其他工作处理，再返回来接着进行一定epoch数量的训练——单步计算

如题所述：

深度学习框架MindSpore是华为公司研发的，由于性能设计的原因，MindSpore的一些使用方式和TensorFlow和PyTorch有一些不同，其中的一点就是在进行单步计算或者是非持续数据流的计算的时候，该种情景下MindSpore的编程方式有些自有特点。

从代码上我们可以知道，第一个train_net是训练了一个epoch的数据，然后假设我们有其他的一些事情要做，做完其他事情后便又回来继续进行训练。该种方式：写两次train_net的方式确实可以实现本文title的场景，但是这里面有个比较重要的参数就是 model.train 中的 dataset_sink_mode ，因为这两个 tain_net 中传入的 dataset_sink_mode参数为False或者True对于算法的最终表现是不同的。

这里对 dataset_sink_mode 这个参数的含义不做完整解释，不过简单的理解可以把它当做是否将数据集中的数据先缓存一部分到运行设备端（这里我们假设运行端为NVIDIA显卡GPU）。

===========================================================

经过实验发现，以下的dataset_sink_mode设置是 可以 正常运行的：

可以看到，即使是同一个模型对同一个数据集进行两次的持续数据流学习，那么第一次持续数据流学习的时候 dataset_sink_mode 只能设置为False， 也就是说第一次的训练不能在设备GPU上缓存数据，否则第二次进行持续数据流训练的时候则会报错。
