 requires much less memory than training.
 
-Furthermore, we set ```MODEL.RPN.FPN_POST_NMS_TOP_N_TRAIN 2000``` as the proposals are selected for per the batch rather than per image. The value is calculated by **1000 x images-per-gpu**. Here we have 2 images per GPU, therefore we set the number as 1000 x 2 = 2000. If we have 8 images per GPU, the value should be set as 8000.
