what's the effect of 'image_queue' and 'text_queue'

[FengWu-PKU]

Hi, thanks for your excellent job!
I noticed that in the code for pretraining and finetuning, there are some queues such as 'image_queue' and 'text_queue' that are randomly initialized and used to calculate the sim_i2t/sim_t2i. It seems to me that these queues may serve as a way to 'increase' the batch size, especially since I noticed that your batch size is relatively small (32*8 for finetuning on COCO).
Could you please confirm if my understanding is correct? I would appreciate it if you could provide further clarification on this matter.
