When training a model, we aim to process data in batches, shuffle data at each epoch to avoid over fitting, and leverage Python's multiprocessing for data fetching through multiple workers.


The reason that we want to use multiple workers is that GPUs are capable of handling large amounts of data concurrently; however, the bottleneck often lies in the time-consuming task of loading this data into the system.


Moreover, the challenge is even trickier when there is simply too much data …
