Tensor Detector
This tool supports you to detect tensors on both CPU and GPU. However, there will always be some strange tensors on CPU, including the rng state of PyTorch.
Example
An example is worth than a thousand words.
The code below defines a simple MLP module, with which we will show you how to use the tool.
class MLP(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.mlp = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(64, 8),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Linear(8, 32))
def forward(self, x):
return self.mlp(x)
And here is how to use the tool.
from colossalai.utils import TensorDetector
# create random data
data = torch.rand(64, requires_grad=True).cuda()
data.retain_grad()
# create the module
model = MLP().cuda()
# create the detector
# by passing the model to the detector, it can distinguish module parameters from common tensors
detector = TensorDetector(include_cpu=False, module=model)
detector.detect()
out = model(data)
detector.detect()
loss = out.sum()
loss.backward()
detector.detect()
I have made some comments on the right of the output for your understanding.
Note that the total Mem
of all the tensors and parameters is not equal to Total GPU Memory Allocated
. PyTorch's memory management is really complicated, and for models of a large scale, it's impossible to figure out clearly.
The order of print is not equal to the order the tensor creates, but they are really close.
