%matplotlib inline数据并行（选读）
Authors: Sung Kim and Jenny Kang
在这个教程里，我们将学习如何使用 DataParallel 来使用多GPU。
PyTorch非常容易就可以使用多GPU，用如下方式把一个模型放到GPU上：
device = torch.device("cuda:0")
model.to(device)GPU:
然后复制所有的张量到GPU上：
mytensor = my_tensor.to(device)请注意，只调用my_tensor.to(device)并没有复制张量到GPU上，而是返回了一个copy。所以你需要把它赋值给一个新的张量并在GPU上使用这个张量。
在多GPU上执行前向和反向传播是自然而然的事。
但是PyTorch默认将只使用一个GPU。
使用DataParallel可以轻易的让模型并行运行在多个GPU上。
model = nn.DataParallel(model)这才是这篇教程的核心，接下来我们将更详细的介绍它。
导入和参数
导入PyTorch模块和定义参数。
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 = 100Device
device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")虚拟数据集
制作一个虚拟（随机）数据集，
你只需实现 __getitem__
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)简单模型
作为演示，我们的模型只接受一个输入，执行一个线性操作，然后得到结果。
说明：DataParallel能在任何模型（CNN，RNN，Capsule Net等）上使用。
我们在模型内部放置了一条打印语句来打印输入和输出向量的大小。
请注意批次的秩为0时打印的内容。
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创建一个模型和数据并行
这是本教程的核心部分。
首先，我们需要创建一个模型实例和检测我们是否有多个GPU。
如果有多个GPU，使用nn.DataParallel来包装我们的模型。
然后通过mmodel.to(device)把模型放到GPU上。
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)Model(
(fc): Linear(in_features=5, out_features=2, bias=True)
)运行模型
现在可以看到输入和输出张量的大小。
for data in rand_loader:
input = data.to(device)
output = model(input)
print("Outside: input size", input.size(),
"output_size", output.size()) In Model: input size torch.Size([30, 5]) output size torch.Size([30, 2])
Outside: input size torch.Size([30, 5]) output_size torch.Size([30, 2])
In Model: input size torch.Size([30, 5]) output size torch.Size([30, 2])
Outside: input size torch.Size([30, 5]) output_size torch.Size([30, 2])
In Model: input size torch.Size([30, 5]) output size torch.Size([30, 2])
Outside: input size torch.Size([30, 5]) output_size torch.Size([30, 2])
In Model: input size torch.Size([10, 5]) output size torch.Size([10, 2])
Outside: input size torch.Size([10, 5]) output_size torch.Size([10, 2])结果
当没有或者只有一个GPU时，对30个输入和输出进行批处理，得到了期望的一样得到30个输入和输出，但是如果你有多个GPU，你得到如下的结果。

DataParallel会自动的划分数据，并将作业发送到多个GPU上的多个模型。
并在每个模型完成作业后，收集合并结果并返回。
