Parallel Data (Optional)

Authors: Sung Kim and Jenny Kang

In this tutorial, we will learn how DataParallelto use multiple GPU.

PyTorch very easy to use multi-GPU, to a model following manner onto the GPU:


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

GPU:
Then copy all of the tensor to the GPU:


    mytensor = my_tensor.to(device)

Please note that only the call my_tensor.to(device)and did not copy the tensor to the GPU, but returns a copy. So you need to assign it to a new tensor and tensor use this on the GPU.

Execution on multi-GPU forward and reverse spread is a natural thing.
But PyTorch default will only use a GPU.

Use DataParallelcan easily let the model run in parallel on multiple GPU.


    model = nn.DataParallel(model)

This is the core of this tutorial, let's introduce it in more detail.

Import and parameters

Import PyTorch module and defining parameters.

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

Device

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

Virtual Dataset

Make a virtual (random) data set,
you only need to implement__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)

Simple Model

As a demonstration of our model only accepts an input, perform a linear operation, and then get the results.
Description: DataParallelcan be used on any model (CNN, RNN, Capsule Net, etc.).

We placed a print statement to print the size of the input and output vectors in the internal model.

Please note that the batch rank content 0:00 printed.

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

Creating a data model and parallel

This is the core part of the tutorial.

First of all, we need to create a model instance and detect whether or not we have more GPU.
If you have more GPU, use nn.DataParallelto wrap our model.
M then model.to(device)the model is placed on the 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)

Model(
  (fc): Linear(in_features=5, out_features=2, bias=True)
)

Running the model

You can now see the input and output tensor size.

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])

result

When there is no or only a GPU, to 30 input and output batch, as has been expected to get 30 inputs and outputs, but if you have multiple GPU, you get the following results.

to sum up

It DataParallel automatically divided data and a plurality of models on a plurality of jobs sent to the GPU.
And after each model to complete the job, and returns the results were pooled.
