[docs]class autocast:
r"""
Instances of :class:`autocast` serve as context managers or decorators that
allow regions of your script to run in mixed precision.
In these regions, ops run in an op-specific dtype chosen by autocast
to improve performance while maintaining accuracy.
See the :ref:`Autocast Op Reference<autocast-op-reference>` for details.
When entering an autocast-enabled region, Tensors may be any type.
You should not call ``half()`` or ``bfloat16()`` on your model(s) or inputs when using autocasting.
:class:`autocast` should wrap only the forward pass(es) of your network, including the loss
computation(s). Backward passes under autocast are not recommended.
Backward ops run in the same type that autocast used for corresponding forward ops.
Example for CUDA Devices::
# Creates model and optimizer in default precision
model = Net().cuda()
optimizer = optim.SGD(model.parameters(), ...)
for input, target in data:
optimizer.zero_grad()
# Enables autocasting for the forward pass (model + loss)
with torch.autocast(device_type="cuda"):
output = model(input)
loss = loss_fn(output, target)
# Exits the context manager before backward()
loss.backward()
optimizer.step()
See the :ref:`CUDA Automatic Mixed Precision examples<amp-examples>` for usage (along with gradient scaling)
in more complex scenarios (e.g., gradient penalty, multiple models/losses, custom autograd functions).
:class:`autocast` can also be used as a decorator, e.g., on the ``forward`` method of your model::
class AutocastModel(nn.Module):
...
@torch.autocast(device_type="cuda")
def forward(self, input):
...
Floating-point Tensors produced in an autocast-enabled region may be ``float16``.
After returning to an autocast-disabled region, using them with floating-point
Tensors of different dtypes may cause type mismatch errors. If so, cast the Tensor(s)
produced in the autocast region back to ``float32`` (or other dtype if desired).
If a Tensor from the autocast region is already ``float32``, the cast is a no-op,
and incurs no additional overhead.
CUDA Example::
# Creates some tensors in default dtype (here assumed to be float32)
a_float32 = torch.rand((8, 8), device="cuda")
b_float32 = torch.rand((8, 8), device="cuda")
c_float32 = torch.rand((8, 8), device="cuda")
d_float32 = torch.rand((8, 8), device="cuda")
with torch.autocast(device_type="cuda"):
# torch.mm is on autocast's list of ops that should run in float16.
# Inputs are float32, but the op runs in float16 and produces float16 output.
# No manual casts are required.
e_float16 = torch.mm(a_float32, b_float32)
# Also handles mixed input types
f_float16 = torch.mm(d_float32, e_float16)
# After exiting autocast, calls f_float16.float() to use with d_float32
g_float32 = torch.mm(d_float32, f_float16.float())
CPU Training Example::
# Creates model and optimizer in default precision
model = Net()
optimizer = optim.SGD(model.parameters(), ...)
for epoch in epochs:
for input, target in data:
optimizer.zero_grad()
# Runs the forward pass with autocasting.
with torch.autocast(device_type="cpu", dtype=torch.bfloat16):
output = model(input)
loss = loss_fn(output, target)
loss.backward()
optimizer.step()
CPU Inference Example::
# Creates model in default precision
model = Net().eval()
with torch.autocast(device_type="cpu", dtype=torch.bfloat16):
for input in data:
# Runs the forward pass with autocasting.
output = model(input)
CPU Inference Example with Jit Trace::
class TestModel(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, input_size, num_classes):
super().__init__()
self.fc1 = nn.Linear(input_size, num_classes)
def forward(self, x):
return self.fc1(x)
input_size = 2
num_classes = 2
model = TestModel(input_size, num_classes).eval()
# For now, we suggest to disable the Jit Autocast Pass,
# As the issue: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/75956
torch._C._jit_set_autocast_mode(False)
with torch.cpu.amp.autocast(cache_enabled=False):
model = torch.jit.trace(model, torch.randn(1, input_size))
model = torch.jit.freeze(model)
# Models Run
for _ in range(3):
model(torch.randn(1, input_size))
Type mismatch errors *in* an autocast-enabled region are a bug; if this is what you observe,
please file an issue.
``autocast(enabled=False)`` subregions can be nested in autocast-enabled regions.
Locally disabling autocast can be useful, for example, if you want to force a subregion
to run in a particular ``dtype``. Disabling autocast gives you explicit control over
the execution type. In the subregion, inputs from the surrounding region
should be cast to ``dtype`` before use::
# Creates some tensors in default dtype (here assumed to be float32)
a_float32 = torch.rand((8, 8), device="cuda")
b_float32 = torch.rand((8, 8), device="cuda")
c_float32 = torch.rand((8, 8), device="cuda")
d_float32 = torch.rand((8, 8), device="cuda")
with torch.autocast(device_type="cuda"):
e_float16 = torch.mm(a_float32, b_float32)
with torch.autocast(device_type="cuda", enabled=False):
# Calls e_float16.float() to ensure float32 execution
# (necessary because e_float16 was created in an autocasted region)
f_float32 = torch.mm(c_float32, e_float16.float())
# No manual casts are required when re-entering the autocast-enabled region.
# torch.mm again runs in float16 and produces float16 output, regardless of input types.
g_float16 = torch.mm(d_float32, f_float32)
The autocast state is thread-local. If you want it enabled in a new thread, the context manager or decorator
must be invoked in that thread. This affects :class:`torch.nn.DataParallel` and
:class:`torch.nn.parallel.DistributedDataParallel` when used with more than one GPU per process
(see :ref:`Working with Multiple GPUs<amp-multigpu>`).
Args:
device_type(str, required): Device type to use. Possible values are: 'cuda', 'cpu', 'xpu' and 'hpu'.
The type is the same as the `type` attribute of a :class:`torch.device`.
Thus, you may obtain the device type of a tensor using `Tensor.device.type`.
enabled(bool, optional): Whether autocasting should be enabled in the region.
Default: ``True``
dtype(torch_dtype, optional): Whether to use torch.float16 or torch.bfloat16.
cache_enabled(bool, optional): Whether the weight cache inside autocast should be enabled.
Default: ``True``
