Add fix for CUDA out of memory error during backward pass. * **Environment Variable**: Set `PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True` at the beginning of `lpm_kernel/L2/train.py` to avoid fragmentation. * **Error Handling**: Add a try-except block around the backward pass to catch `torch.cuda.OutOfMemoryError`. * Log an error message when the out of memory error occurs. * Free up GPU memory using `torch.cuda.empty_cache()` in the except block. * Retry the backward pass after freeing up GPU memory.
