# BigDL-Nano PyTorch Overview
|
||||
|
||||
BigDL-Nano can be used to accelerate PyTorch or PyTorch-Lightning applications on both training and inference workloads. The optimizations in BigDL-Nano are delivered through a extended version of PyTorch-Lightning `Trainer`. These optimizations are either enabled by default, or can be easily turned on by setting a parameter or calling a method.

# BigDL-Nano PyTorch Training Overview
|
||||
|
||||
BigDL-Nano can be used to accelerate PyTorch or PyTorch-Lightning applications on training workloads. The optimizations in BigDL-Nano are delivered through an extended version of PyTorch-Lightning `Trainer`. These optimizations are either enabled by default or can be easily turned on by setting a parameter or calling a method.
|
||||
|
||||
We will briefly describe here the major features in BigDL-Nano for PyTorch training. You can find complete examples here [links to be added]().
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Known Configurations
|
||||
|
||||
When you run `source bigdl-nano-init`, BigDL-Nano will export a few environment variables, such as OMP_NUM_THREADS and KMP_AFFINITY, according to your current hardware. Empirically, these environment variables work best for most PyTorch applications. After setting these environment variables, you can just run your applications as usual (`python app.py`) and no additional changes are required.
|
||||
|
||||
### BigDL-Nano PyTorch Trainer
|
||||
|
||||
The PyTorch Trainer (`bigdl.nano.pytorch.Trainer`) is the place where we integrate most optimizations. It extends PyTorch Lightning's Trainer and has a few more parameters and methods specific to BigDL-Nano. The Trainer can be directly used to train a `LightningModule`.
|
||||
|
||||
For example,
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from pytorch_lightning import LightningModule
|
||||
from bigdl.nano.pytorch import Trainer
|
||||
|
||||
class MyModule(LightningModule):
|
||||
# LightningModule definition
|
||||
|
||||
from bigdl.nano.pytorch import Trainer
|
||||
lightning_module = MyModule()
|
||||
trainer = Trainer(max_epoch=10)
|
||||
trainer.fit(lightning_module, train_loader)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For regular PyTorch modules, we also provide a "compile" method, that takes in a PyTorch module, an optimizer, and other PyTorch objects and "compiles" them into a `LightningModule`.
|
||||
|
||||
For example,
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from bigdl.nano.pytorch import Trainer
|
||||
lightning_module = Trainer.compile(pytorch_module, loss, optimizer, scheduler)
|
||||
trainer = Trainer(max_epoch=10)
|
||||
trainer.fit(lightning_module, train_loader)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Intel® Extension for PyTorch
|
||||
|
||||
Intel Extension for Pytorch (a.k.a. IPEX) extends PyTorch with optimizations for an extra performance boost on Intel hardware. BigDL-Nano integrates IPEX through the `Trainer`. Users can turn on IPEX by setting `use_ipex=True`.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from bigdl.nano.pytorch import Trainer
|
||||
trainer = Trainer(max_epoch=10, use_ipex=True)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Multi-instance Training
|
||||
|
||||
When training on a server with dozens of CPU cores, it is often beneficial to use multiple training instances in a data-parallel fashion to make full use of the CPU cores. However, using PyTorch's DDP API is a little cumbersome and error-prone, and if not configured correctly, it will make the training even slow.
|
||||
|
||||
BigDL-Nano makes it very easy to conduct multi-instance training. You can just set the `num_processes` parameter in the `Trainer` constructor and BigDL-Nano will launch the specific number of processes to perform data-parallel training. Each process will be automatically pinned to a different subset of CPU cores to avoid conflict and maximize training throughput.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from bigdl.nano.pytorch import Trainer
|
||||
trainer = Trainer(max_epoch=10, num_processes=4)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the effective batch size multi-instance training is the `batch_size` in your `dataloader` times `num_processes` so the number of iterations of each epoch will be reduced `num_processes` fold. A common practice to compensate for that is to gradually increase the learning rate to `num_processes` times. You can find more details of this trick in the [Facebook paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.02677).
|
||||
|
||||
### Optimized Data pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
Computer Vision task often needs a data processing pipeline that sometimes constitutes a non-trivial part of the whole training pipeline. Leveraging OpenCV and libjpeg-turbo, BigDL-Nano can accelerate computer vision data pipelines by providing a drop-in replacement of torch_vision's `datasets` and `transforms`.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from bigdl.nano.pytorch.vision.datasets import ImageFolder
|
||||
from bigdl.nano.pytorch.vision import transforms
|
||||
|
||||
data_transform = transforms.Compose([
|
||||
transforms.Resize(256),
|
||||
transforms.ColorJitter(),
|
||||
transforms.RandomCrop(224),
|
||||
transforms.RandomHorizontalFlip(),
|
||||
transforms.Resize(128),
|
||||
transforms.ToTensor()
|
||||
])
|
||||
|
||||
train_set = ImageFolder(train_path, data_transform)
|
||||
train_loader = DataLoader(train_set, batch_size=batch_size, shuffle=True)
|
||||
trainer.fit(module, train_loader)
|
||||
```
