The exact syntax is documented at https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/cuda.html#memory-management, but in short: The behavior of caching allocator can be controlled via environment variable PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF. The format is PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=<option>:<value>,<option2>:<value2>… Available options: max_split_size_mb prevents the allocator from splitting blocks larger than this size (in MB).
