PyTorch 中通道在最后的内存格式(beta)

原文:https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/memory_format_tutorial.html

作者Vitaly Fedyunin

什么是通道在最后

通道在最后的内存格式是在保留内存尺寸的顺序中对 NCHW 张量进行排序的另一种方法。 通道最后一个张量的排序方式使通道成为最密集的维度(又称为每像素存储图像)。

例如,NCHW 张量的经典(连续)存储(在我们的示例中是具有 3 个颜色通道的两个2x2图像)如下所示:

classic_memory_format

通道最后的存储格式对数据的排序方式不同:

channels_last_memory_format

Pytorch 通过使用现有的跨步结构支持内存格式(并提供与现有模型(包括 eager,JIT 和 TorchScript)的向后兼容性)。 例如,通道在最后的格式中的10x3x16x16批量的步幅等于(768, 1, 48, 3)

通道最后一个存储格式仅适用于 4D NCWH 张量。

import torch
N, C, H, W = 10, 3, 32, 32

内存格式 API

这是在连续和通道最后存储格式之间转换张量的方法。

经典 PyTorch 连续张量

x = torch.empty(N, C, H, W)
print(x.stride()) # Ouputs: (3072, 1024, 32, 1)

出:

(3072, 1024, 32, 1)

转换运算符

x = x.contiguous(memory_format=torch.channels_last)
print(x.shape) # Outputs: (10, 3, 32, 32) as dimensions order preserved
print(x.stride()) # Outputs: (3072, 1, 96, 3)

出:

torch.Size([10, 3, 32, 32])
(3072, 1, 96, 3)

返回连续

x = x.contiguous(memory_format=torch.contiguous_format)
print(x.stride()) # Outputs: (3072, 1024, 32, 1)

出:

(3072, 1024, 32, 1)

替代选择

x = x.to(memory_format=torch.channels_last)
print(x.stride()) # Ouputs: (3072, 1, 96, 3)

出:

(3072, 1, 96, 3)

格式检查

print(x.is_contiguous(memory_format=torch.channels_last)) # Ouputs: True

出:

True

最后创建为渠道

x = torch.empty(N, C, H, W, memory_format=torch.channels_last)
print(x.stride()) # Ouputs: (3072, 1, 96, 3)

出:

(3072, 1, 96, 3)

clone保留内存格式

y = x.clone()
print(y.stride()) # Ouputs: (3072, 1, 96, 3)

出:

(3072, 1, 96, 3)

tocudafloat…保留内存格式

if torch.cuda.is_available():
    y = x.cuda()
    print(y.stride()) # Ouputs: (3072, 1, 96, 3)

出:

(3072, 1, 96, 3)

empty_like*_like运算符保留内存格式

y = torch.empty_like(x)
print(y.stride()) # Ouputs: (3072, 1, 96, 3)

出:

(3072, 1, 96, 3)

点向运算符保留内存格式

z = x + y
print(z.stride()) # Ouputs: (3072, 1, 96, 3)

出:

(3072, 1, 96, 3)

转换,Batchnorm模块支持通道在最后(仅适用于CudNN >= 7.6

if torch.backends.cudnn.version() >= 7603:
    input = torch.randint(1, 10, (2, 8, 4, 4), dtype=torch.float32, device="cuda", requires_grad=True)
    model = torch.nn.Conv2d(8, 4, 3).cuda().float()

    input = input.contiguous(memory_format=torch.channels_last)
    model = model.to(memory_format=torch.channels_last) # Module parameters need to be Channels Last

    out = model(input)
    print(out.is_contiguous(memory_format=torch.channels_last)) # Ouputs: True

出:

True

性能提升

在具有张量核心支持的 Nvidia 硬件上观察到了最大的性能提升。 在运行 Nvidia 提供的 AMP(自动混合精度)训练脚本时,我们可以将性能提高 22% 以上。

转换现有模型

通道在最后支持不受现有模型的限制,因为只要输入格式正确,任何模型都可以转换为通道在最后,并通过图传播格式。

# Need to be done once, after model initialization (or load)
model = model.to(memory_format=torch.channels_last) # Replace with your model

# Need to be done for every input
input = input.to(memory_format=torch.channels_last) # Replace with your input
output = model(input)

但是,并非所有运算符都完全转换为支持通道在最后(通常返回连续输出)。 这意味着您需要根据支持的运算符列表来验证已使用运算符的列表,或将内存格式检查引入急切的执行模式并运行模型。

运行以下代码后,如果运算符的输出与输入的存储格式不匹配,运算符将引发异常。

    for t in args:
        if isinstance(t, torch.Tensor):
            if t.is_contiguous(memory_format=torch.channels_last) and not t.is_contiguous():
                return True
        elif isinstance(t, list) or isinstance(t, tuple):

如果您发现不支持通道在最后的张量的运算符并且想要贡献力量,请随时使用以下开发人员指南

下面的代码是恢复火炬的属性。

for (m, attrs) in old_attrs.items():
  for (k,v) in attrs.items():
    setattr(m, k, v)

要做的工作

仍有许多事情要做,例如:

  • 解决 N1HW 和 NC11 张量的歧义;
  • 测试分布式训练支持;
  • 提高运算符覆盖率。

如果您有反馈和/或改进建议,请通过创建 ISSUE 来通知我们。
