pytorch数据并行

原文链接：DATA PARALLELISM

---

在这个教程中，我们将学习怎样通过DataParallel在多GPU上实现数据并行。

在pytorch中使用GPUs非常简单，比如可以通过下面语句将模型放入一张GPU中：

device = torch.device("cuda:0")
model.to(device)

然后，将张量复制到GPU中

mytensor = my_tensor.to(device)

只需要通过my_tensor.to(device)就会返回一个位于GPU的张量而不用重新构建mytensor

在多张GPU中实现前向传播反向传播也很简单，但是pytorch默认使用一张GPU。如下通过使用DataParallel可以很容易地实现多GPU并行训练

model = nn.DataParallel(model)

下面我们通过一个实例具体介绍整个流程。

导入模块并初始化参数

导入相关模块，定义模型参数

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from torch.utils.data import Dataset, DataLoader

# Parameters and DataLoaders
input_size = 5
output_size = 2

batch_size = 30
data_size = 100

指定设备

device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

定义一个随机数据集

class RandomDataset(Dataset):

    def __init__(self, size, length):
        self.len = length
        self.data = torch.randn(length, size)

    def __getitem__(self, index):
        return self.data[index]

    def __len__(self):
        return self.len

rand_loader = DataLoader(dataset=RandomDataset(input_size, data_size),
                         batch_size=batch_size, shuffle=True)

定义一个简单的模型

为了测试，构建一个简单的线性模型

注意，我们在模型中添加了print语句，来监视输入输出张量的size

class Model(nn.Module):
    # Our model

    def __init__(self, input_size, output_size):
        super(Model, self).__init__()
        self.fc = nn.Linear(input_size, output_size)

    def forward(self, input):
        output = self.fc(input)
        print("\tIn Model: input size", input.size(),
              "output size", output.size())

        return output

构建模型和并实现数据并行

这是这篇教程的核心部分。首先，我们需要构建模型实例并检查环境是否有多张GPU,如果有多张GPU，使用nn.DataParallel(model)操作。然后使用model.to(device)将模型置于GPU

model = Model(input_size, output_size)
if torch.cuda.device_count() > 1:
  print("Let's use", torch.cuda.device_count(), "GPUs!")
  # dim = 0 [30, xxx] -> [10, ...], [10, ...], [10, ...] on 3 GPUs
  model = nn.DataParallel(model)

model.to(device)

out:

Let's use 2 GPUs!

跑模型

现在我们可以清楚地看到输入输出的张量的size

for data in rand_loader:
    input = data.to(device)
    output = model(input)
    print("Outside: input size", input.size(),
          "output_size", output.size())

out:

In Model: input size    In Model: input size torch.Size([15, 5]) output size torch.Size([15, 2])
 torch.Size([15, 5]) output size torch.Size([15, 2])
Outside: input size torch.Size([30, 5]) output_size torch.Size([30, 2])
        In Model: input size torch.Size([15, 5]) output size torch.Size([15, 2])
        In Model: input size torch.Size([15, 5]) output size torch.Size([15, 2])
Outside: input size torch.Size([30, 5]) output_size torch.Size([30, 2])
        In Model: input size torch.Size([15, 5]) output size torch.Size([15, 2])
        In Model: input size torch.Size([15, 5]) output size torch.Size([15, 2])
Outside: input size torch.Size([30, 5]) output_size torch.Size([30, 2])
        In Model: input size torch.Size([5, 5]) output size torch.Size([5, 2])
        In Model: input size torch.Size([5, 5]) output size torch.Size([5, 2])
Outside: input size torch.Size([10, 5]) output_size torch.Size([10, 2])

总结

DataParallel 自动拆分数据并将任务发送到多个GPU上对应的模型中，并在每个GPU完成相应工作之后将数据收集起来合并。
