AtomizerField Environment Setup

✅ Problem Solved!

The NumPy MINGW-W64 segmentation fault issue has been resolved by creating a proper conda environment with compatible packages.

---

Solution Summary

Issue: NumPy built with MINGW-W64 on Windows caused segmentation faults when importing

Solution: Created conda environment atomizer_field with properly compiled NumPy from conda-forge

Result: ✅ All tests passing! System ready for use.

Troubleshooting

Issue: conda command not found

Solution: Add conda to PATH or use Anaconda Prompt

Issue: Import errors

Solution: Make sure environment is activated

conda activate atomizer_field

Issue: CUDA/GPU not available

Note: Current installation is CPU-only. For GPU support:

conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.8 -c pytorch -c nvidia

Issue: Slow training

Solutions:

1. Use GPU (see above)
2. Reduce batch size
3. Reduce model size (hidden_dim)
4. Use fewer training epochs

---

Performance Comparison

Before (pip-installed NumPy):

Error: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
CRASHES ARE TO BE EXPECTED

After (conda environment):

✅ All tests passing
✅ Model creates successfully (128,589 parameters)
✅ Forward pass working
✅ All 4 loss functions operational
✅ No crashes or errors

---

Next Steps
