-`RESULT_FILE`: Filename of the output results in pickle format. If not specified, the results will not be saved to a file.
-`EVAL_METRICS`: Items to be evaluated on the results. Allowed values depend on the dataset. Typically we default to use official metrics for evaluation on different datasets, so it can be simply set to `mAP` as a placeholder for detection tasks, which applies to nuScenes, Lyft, ScanNet and SUNRGBD. For KITTI, if we only want to evaluate the 2D detection performance, we can simply set the metric to `img_bbox` (unstable, stay tuned). For Waymo, we provide both KITTI-style evaluation (unstable) and Waymo-style official protocol, corresponding to metric `kitti` and `waymo` respectively. We recommend to use the default official metric for stable performance and fair comparison with other methods. Similarly, the metric can be set to `mIoU` for segmentation tasks, which applies to S3DIS and ScanNet.
If you want to specify the working directory in the command, you can add an argument `--work-dir ${YOUR_WORK_DIR}`.
### Training with CPU (experimental)
The process of training on the CPU is consistent with single GPU training. We just need to disable GPUs before the training process.
```shell
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=-1
```
And then run the script of train with a single GPU.
**Note**:
For now, most of the point cloud related algorithms rely on 3D CUDA op, which can not be trained on CPU. Some monocular 3D object detection algorithms, like FCOS3D and SMOKE can be trained on CPU. We do not recommend users to use CPU for training because it is too slow. We support this feature to allow users to debug certain models on machines without GPU for convenience.
