## PyTorch Lightning is just organized PyTorch
|
|
Lightning disentangles PyTorch code to decouple the science from the engineering.
|
|

|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Lightning Design Philosophy
|
|
Lightning structures PyTorch code with these principles:
|
|
|
|
<div align="center">
|
|
<img src="https://pl-bolts-doc-images.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/philosophies.jpg" max-height="250px">
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
Lightning forces the following structure to your code which makes it reusable and shareable:
|
|
|
|
- Research code (the LightningModule).
|
|
- Engineering code (you delete, and is handled by the Trainer).
|
|
- Non-essential research code (logging, etc... this goes in Callbacks).
|
|
- Data (use PyTorch DataLoaders or organize them into a LightningDataModule).
|
|
|
|
Once you do this, you can train on multiple-GPUs, TPUs, CPUs and even in 16-bit precision without changing your code!
|
|
|
|
Get started with our [2 step guide](https://pytorch-lightning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/starter/new-project.html)
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Continuous Integration
|
|
Lightning is rigorously tested across multiple GPUs, TPUs CPUs and against major Python and PyTorch versions.

|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install pytorch-lightning
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<!-- following section will be skipped from PyPI description -->
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Other installation options</summary>
|
|
<!-- following section will be skipped from PyPI description -->
|
|
|
|
#### Install with optional dependencies
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install pytorch-lightning['extra']
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Conda
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
conda install pytorch-lightning -c conda-forge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Install stable 1.4.x
|
|
|
|
the actual status of 1.4 [stable] is following:
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
</details>
|
|
<!-- end skipping PyPI description -->
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Add these imports
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import os
|
|
import torch
|
|
from torch import nn
|
|
import torch.nn.functional as F
|
|
from torchvision.datasets import MNIST
|
|
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader, random_split
|
|
from torchvision import transforms
|
|
import pytorch_lightning as pl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Define a LightningModule (nn.Module subclass)
|
|
A LightningModule defines a full *system* (ie: a GAN, autoencoder, BERT or a simple Image Classifier).
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
class LitAutoEncoder(pl.LightningModule):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
super().__init__()
|
|
self.encoder = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(28 * 28, 128), nn.ReLU(), nn.Linear(128, 3))
|
|
self.decoder = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(3, 128), nn.ReLU(), nn.Linear(128, 28 * 28))
|
|
|
|
def forward(self, x):
|
|
# in lightning, forward defines the prediction/inference actions
|
|
embedding = self.encoder(x)
|
|
return embedding
|
|
|
|
def training_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
|
|
# training_step defines the train loop. It is independent of forward
|
|
x, y = batch
|
|
x = x.view(x.size(0), -1)
|
|
z = self.encoder(x)
|
|
x_hat = self.decoder(z)
|
|
loss = F.mse_loss(x_hat, x)
|
|
self.log("train_loss", loss)
|
|
return loss
|
|
|
|
def configure_optimizers(self):
|
|
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(self.parameters(), lr=1e-3)
|
|
return optimizer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note: Training_step defines the training loop. Forward defines how the LightningModule behaves during inference/prediction.**
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Train!
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
dataset = MNIST(os.getcwd(), download=True, transform=transforms.ToTensor())
|
|
train, val = random_split(dataset, [55000, 5000])
|
|
|
|
autoencoder = LitAutoEncoder()
|
|
trainer = pl.Trainer()
|
|
trainer.fit(autoencoder, DataLoader(train), DataLoader(val))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
autoencoder = LitAutoEncoder()
|
|
input_sample = torch.randn((1, 64))
|
|
autoencoder.to_onnx(tmpfile.name, input_sample, export_params=True)
|
|
os.path.isfile(tmpfile.name)
|
|
```
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
### Pro-level control of training loops (advanced users)
|
|
For complex/professional level work, you have optional full control of the training loop and optimizers.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
class LitAutoEncoder(pl.LightningModule):
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
super().__init__()
|
|
self.automatic_optimization = False
|
|
|
|
def training_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
|
|
# access your optimizers with use_pl_optimizer=False. Default is True
|
|
opt_a, opt_b = self.optimizers(use_pl_optimizer=True)
|
|
|
|
loss_a = ...
|
|
self.manual_backward(loss_a, opt_a)
|
|
opt_a.step()
|
|
opt_a.zero_grad()
|
|
|
|
loss_b = ...
|
|
self.manual_backward(loss_b, opt_b, retain_graph=True)
|
|
self.manual_backward(loss_b, opt_b)
|
|
opt_b.step()
|
|
opt_b.zero_grad()
|
|
```

## Advantages over unstructured PyTorch
|
|
|
|
* Models become hardware agnostic
|
|
* Code is clear to read because engineering code is abstracted away
|
|
* Easier to reproduce
|
|
* Make fewer mistakes because lightning handles the tricky engineering
|
|
* Keeps all the flexibility (LightningModules are still PyTorch modules), but removes a ton of boilerplate
|
|
* Lightning has dozens of integrations with popular machine learning tools.
|
|
* [Tested rigorously with every new PR](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/tree/master/tests). We test every combination of PyTorch and Python supported versions, every OS, multi GPUs and even TPUs.
|
|
* Minimal running speed overhead (about 300 ms per epoch compared with pure PyTorch).

## Grid AI
|
|
Grid AI is our platform for training models at scale on the cloud!
|
|
|
|
**Sign up for our FREE community Tier [here](https://www.grid.ai/pricing/)**
|
|
|
|
To use grid, take your regular command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python my_model.py --learning_rate 1e-6 --layers 2 --gpus 4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And change it to use the grid train command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
grid train --grid_gpus 4 my_model.py --learning_rate 'uniform(1e-6, 1e-1, 20)' --layers '[2, 4, 8, 16]'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above command will launch (20 * 4) experiments each running on 4 GPUs (320 GPUs!) - by making ZERO changes to
|
|
your code.
