TPUSpawnStrategy

class pytorch_lightning.strategies.TPUSpawnStrategy(accelerator=None, parallel_devices=None, checkpoint_io=None, precision_plugin=None, debug=False, **_)[source]

Bases: pytorch_lightning.strategies.ddp_spawn.DDPSpawnStrategy

Strategy for training multiple TPU devices using the torch_xla.distributed.xla_multiprocessing.spawn() method.

all_gather(tensor, group=None, sync_grads=False)[source]

Function to gather a tensor from several distributed processes :type _sphinx_paramlinks_pytorch_lightning.strategies.TPUSpawnStrategy.all_gather.tensor: Tensor :param _sphinx_paramlinks_pytorch_lightning.strategies.TPUSpawnStrategy.all_gather.tensor: tensor of shape (batch, …) :type _sphinx_paramlinks_pytorch_lightning.strategies.TPUSpawnStrategy.all_gather.group: Optional[Any] :param _sphinx_paramlinks_pytorch_lightning.strategies.TPUSpawnStrategy.all_gather.group: not available with TPUs :type _sphinx_paramlinks_pytorch_lightning.strategies.TPUSpawnStrategy.all_gather.sync_grads: bool :param _sphinx_paramlinks_pytorch_lightning.strategies.TPUSpawnStrategy.all_gather.sync_grads: not available with TPUs

Return type

Tensor

Returns

A tensor of shape (world_size, batch, …)

barrier(name=None)[source]

Synchronizes all processes which blocks processes until the whole group enters this function.

Parameters

name (Optional[str]) – an optional name to pass into barrier.

Return type

None

broadcast(obj, src=0)[source]

Broadcasts an object to all processes.

Parameters
  • obj (object) – the object to broadcast

  • src (int) – source rank

Return type

object

connect(model)[source]

Called by the accelerator to connect the accelerator and the model with this plugin.

Return type

None

model_to_device()[source]

Moves the model to the correct device.

Return type

None

predict_step(*args, **kwargs)[source]

The actual predict step.

See predict_step() for more details

Return type

Union[Tensor, Dict[str, Any]]

process_dataloader(dataloader)[source]

Wraps the dataloader if necessary.

Parameters

dataloader (DataLoader) – iterable. Ideally of type: torch.utils.data.DataLoader

Return type

None

reduce(output, group=None, reduce_op=None)[source]

Reduces a tensor from several distributed processes to one aggregated tensor.

Parameters
  • tensor – the tensor to sync and reduce

  • group (Optional[Any]) – the process group to gather results from. Defaults to all processes (world)

  • reduce_op (Union[ReduceOp, str, None]) – the reduction operation. Defaults to ‘mean’/’avg’. Can also be a string ‘sum’ to calculate the sum during reduction.

Returns

reduced value, except when the input was not a tensor the output remains is unchanged

reduce_boolean_decision(decision)[source]

Reduce the early stopping decision across all processes.

Return type

bool

remove_checkpoint(filepath)[source]

Remove checkpoint filepath from the filesystem.

Parameters

filepath (Union[str, Path]) – Path to checkpoint

Return type

None

save_checkpoint(checkpoint, filepath, storage_options=None)[source]

Save model/training states as a checkpoint file through state-dump and file-write.

Parameters
  • checkpoint (Dict[str, Any]) – dict containing model and trainer state

  • filepath (Union[str, Path]) – write-target file’s path

  • storage_options (Optional[Any]) – parameter for how to save to storage, passed to CheckpointIO plugin

Return type

None

setup(trainer)[source]

Setup plugins for the trainer fit and creates optimizers.

Parameters

trainer (Trainer) – the trainer instance

Return type

None

teardown()[source]

This method is called to teardown the training process.

It is the right place to release memory and free other resources.

Return type

None

test_step(*args, **kwargs)[source]

The actual test step.

See test_step() for more details

Return type

Union[Tensor, Dict[str, Any], None]

validation_step(*args, **kwargs)[source]

The actual validation step.

See validation_step() for more details

Return type

Union[Tensor, Dict[str, Any], None]

property root_device: torch.device

Return the root device.

Return type

device
