I want to know whether I should use the supplied mmcv folder instead of the installed one?

@Legend94rz Because in this way, you may use the latest Pytorch and other advanced packages like FlashAttention2/Deepspeed.

I have alreay installed the latest pytorch, and install mmcv library via compile.
I worry about there may be some conflicts between the mmcv folder and my installed mmcv.
so, I want to know is it possible to use the installed mmcv, (e.g. mmcv==1.7.1) rather than the mmcv folder in this repo?
if yes, I could just ignore or remove the folder, or else I could uninstall the mmcv.

No. You may not use another mmcv. They are incompatible.
