1 基础配置

1-1 检查PyTorch版本

torch.__version__               # PyTorch versiontorch.version.cuda              # Corresponding CUDA versiontorch.backends.cudnn.version()  # Corresponding cuDNN versiontorch.cuda.get_device_name(0)   # GPU type

1-2 更新PyTorch

PyTorch将被安装在anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/torch/目录下。

conda update pytorch torchvision -c pytorch

• 1

1-3 固定随机种子

torch.manual_seed(0)torch.cuda.manual_seed_all(0)
1
2

1-4 指定程序运行在特定GPU卡上

在命令行指定环境变量

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python train.py

• 1

或在代码中指定

os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = '0,1'
1

1-5 判断是否有CUDA支持

torch.cuda.is_available()

• 1

1-6 设置为cuDNN benchmark模式

Benchmark模式会提升计算速度，但是由于计算中有随机性，每次网络前馈结果略有差异。

torch.backends.cudnn.benchmark = True
1

如果想要避免这种结果波动，设置

torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic = True

• 1

1-7 清除GPU存储

有时Control-C中止运行后GPU存储没有及时释放，需要手动清空。在PyTorch内部可以

torch.cuda.empty_cache()
1

或在命令行可以先使用ps找到程序的PID，再使用kill结束该进程

ps aux | grep pythonkill -9 [pid]

• 1
• 2

或者直接重置没有被清空的GPU

nvidia-smi --gpu-reset -i [gpu_id]

2 张量处理

2-1 张量基本信息

tensor.type() # Data typetensor.size() # Shape of the tensor. It is a subclass of Python tupletensor.dim() # Number of dimensions.

• 1
• 2
• 3

2-2 数据类型转换

Set default tensor type. Float in PyTorch is much faster than double.

torch.set_default_tensor_type(torch.FloatTensor)
1

Type convertions.

tensor = tensor.cuda()tensor = tensor.cpu()tensor = tensor.float()tensor = tensor.long()

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

2-3 torch.Tensor与np.ndarray转换

torch.Tensor -> np.ndarray.

ndarray = tensor.cpu().numpy()
1

np.ndarray -> torch.Tensor.

tensor = torch.from_numpy(ndarray).float()tensor = torch.from_numpy(ndarray.copy()).float() # If ndarray has negative stride

• 1
• 2

2-4 torch.Tensor与PIL.Image转换

PyTorch中的张量默认采用N×D×H×W的顺序，并且数据范围在[0, 1]，需要进行转置和规范化。

torch.Tensor -> PIL.Image.

image = PIL.Image.fromarray(torch.clamp(tensor * 255, min=0, max=255).byte().permute(1, 2, 0).cpu().numpy())image = torchvision.transforms.functional.to_pil_image(tensor)  # Equivalently way
1
2

PIL.Image -> torch.Tensor.

tensor = torch.from_numpy(np.asarray(PIL.Image.open(path))).permute(2, 0, 1).float() / 255tensor = torchvision.transforms.functional.to_tensor(PIL.Image.open(path)) # Equivalently way

• 1
• 2

2-5 np.ndarray与PIL.Image转换

np.ndarray -> PIL.Image.

image = PIL.Image.fromarray(ndarray.astypde(np.uint8))
1

PIL.Image -> np.ndarray.

ndarray = np.asarray(PIL.Image.open(path))

• 1

2-6 从只包含一个元素的张量中提取值

这在训练时统计loss的变化过程中特别有用。否则这将累积计算图，使GPU存储占用量越来越大。

value = tensor.item()
1

2-7 张量形变

张量形变常常需要用于将卷积层特征输入全连接层的情形。相比torch.view，torch.reshape可以自动处理输入张量不连续的情况。

tensor = torch.reshape(tensor, shape)

• 1

2-8 打乱顺序

tensor = tensor[torch.randperm(tensor.size(0))]  # Shuffle the first dimension
1

2-9 水平翻转

PyTorch不支持tensor[::-1]这样的负步长操作，水平翻转可以用张量索引实现。
Assume tensor has shape N*D*H*W.

tensor = tensor[:, :, :, torch.arange(tensor.size(3) - 1, -1, -1).long()]

• 1

2-10 复制张量

有三种复制的方式，对应不同的需求。

Operation	New/Shared memory	Still in computation graph
tensor.clone()	New	Yes
tensor.detach()	Shared	No
tensor.detach.clone()()	New	No

2-11 拼接张量

注意torch.cat和torch.stack的区别在于torch.cat沿着给定的维度拼接，而torch.stack会新增一维。例如当参数是3个10×5的张量，torch.cat的结果是30×5的张量，而torch.stack的结果是3×10×5的张量。

tensor = torch.cat(list_of_tensors, dim=0)tensor = torch.stack(list_of_tensors, dim=0)
1
2

2-12 将整数标记转换成独热（one-hot）编码

PyTorch中的标记默认从0开始。

N = tensor.size(0)one_hot = torch.zeros(N, num_classes).long()one_hot.scatter_(dim=1, index=torch.unsqueeze(tensor, dim=1), src=torch.ones(N, num_classes).long())

• 1

2-13 得到非零/零元素

torch.nonzero(tensor)               # Index of non-zero elementstorch.nonzero(tensor == 0)          # Index of zero elementstorch.nonzero(tensor).size(0)       # Number of non-zero elementstorch.nonzero(tensor == 0).size(0)  # Number of zero elements

2-14 张量扩展

Expand tensor of shape 64*512 to shape 64*512*7*7.

torch.reshape(tensor, (64, 512, 1, 1)).expand(64, 512, 7, 7)

• 1

2-15 矩阵乘法

Matrix multiplication: (m*n) * (n*p) -> (m*p).

result = torch.mm(tensor1, tensor2)
1

Batch matrix multiplication: (b*m*n) * (b*n*p) -> (b*m*p).

result = torch.bmm(tensor1, tensor2)

• 1

Element-wise multiplication.

result = tensor1 * tensor2
1

2-16 计算两组数据之间的两两欧式距离

X1 is of shape m*d.

X1 = torch.unsqueeze(X1, dim=1).expand(m, n, d)

• 1

X2 is of shape n*d.

X2 = torch.unsqueeze(X2, dim=0).expand(m, n, d)
1

dist is of shape m*n, where dist[i][j] = sqrt(|X1[i, :] - X[j, :]|^2)

dist = torch.sqrt(torch.sum((X1 - X2) ** 2, dim=2))

3 模型定义

3-1 卷积层

最常用的卷积层配置是

conv = torch.nn.Conv2d(in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size=3, stride=1, padding=1, bias=True)conv = torch.nn.Conv2d(in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size=1, stride=1, padding=0, bias=True)
1

如果卷积层配置比较复杂，不方便计算输出大小时，可以利用如下可视化工具辅助

3-2 GAP（Global average pooling）层

gap = torch.nn.AdaptiveAvgPool2d(output_size=1)

• 1

3-3 双线性汇合（bilinear pooling）

X = torch.reshape(N, D, H * W)                        # Assume X has shape N*D*H*WX = torch.bmm(X, torch.transpose(X, 1, 2)) / (H * W)  # Bilinear poolingassert X.size() == (N, D, D)X = torch.reshape(X, (N, D * D))X = torch.sign(X) * torch.sqrt(torch.abs(X) + 1e-5)   # Signed-sqrt normalizationX = torch.nn.functional.normalize(X)                  # L2 normalization

3-4 多卡同步BN（Batch normalization）

当使用torch.nn.DataParallel将代码运行在多张GPU卡上时，PyTorch的BN层默认操作是各卡上数据独立地计算均值和标准差，同步BN使用所有卡上的数据一起计算BN层的均值和标准差，缓解了当批量大小（batch size）比较小时对均值和标准差估计不准的情况，是在目标检测等任务中一个有效的提升性能的技巧。

链接：https://github.com/vacancy/Synchronized-BatchNorm-PyTorch

3-5 类似BN滑动平均

如果要实现类似BN滑动平均的操作，在forward函数中要使用原地（inplace）操作给滑动平均赋值。

class BN(torch.nn.Module) def __init__(self): ... self.register_buffer('running_mean', torch.zeros(num_features)) def forward(self, X): ... self.running_mean += momentum * (current - self.running_mean)

3-6 计算模型整体参数量

num_parameters = sum(torch.numel(parameter) for parameter in model.parameters())
1

类似Keras的model.summary()输出模型信息
链接：https://github.com/sksq96/pytorch-summary

3-7 模型权值初始化

注意model.modules()和model.children()的区别：model.modules()会迭代地遍历模型的所有子层，而model.children()只会遍历模型下的一层。

# Common practise for initialization.for layer in model.modules(): if isinstance(layer, torch.nn.Conv2d): torch.nn.init.kaiming_normal_(layer.weight, mode='fan_out', nonlinearity='relu') if layer.bias is not None: torch.nn.init.constant_(layer.bias, val=0.0) elif isinstance(layer, torch.nn.BatchNorm2d): torch.nn.init.constant_(layer.weight, val=1.0) torch.nn.init.constant_(layer.bias, val=0.0) elif isinstance(layer, torch.nn.Linear): torch.nn.init.xavier_normal_(layer.weight) if layer.bias is not None: torch.nn.init.constant_(layer.bias, val=0.0)# Initialization with given tensor.layer.weight = torch.nn.Parameter(tensor)

注意如果保存的模型是torch.nn.DataParallel，则当前的模型也需要是torch.nn.DataParallel。torch.nn.DataParallel(model).module == model。

model.load_state_dict(torch.load('model,pth'), strict=False)

3-9 将在GPU保存的模型加载到CPU

model.load_state_dict(torch.load('model,pth', map_location='cpu'))

4-1 得到视频数据基本信息

6 PyTorch其他注意事项

6-1 模型定义

• 建议有参数的层和汇合（pooling）层使用torch.nn模块定义，激活函数直接使用torch.nn.functional。torch.nn模块和torch.nn.functional的区别在于，torch.nn模块在计算时底层调用了torch.nn.functional，但torch.nn模块包括该层参数，还可以应对训练和测试两种网络状态。使用torch.nn.functional时要注意网络状态，如
  def forward(self, x):
  …
  x = torch.nn.functional.dropout(x, p=0.5, training=self.training)
• model(x)前用model.train()和model.eval()切换网络状态。
• 不需要计算梯度的代码块用with torch.no_grad()包含起来。model.eval()和torch.no_grad()的区别在于，model.eval()是将网络切换为测试状态，例如BN和随机失活（dropout）在训练和测试阶段使用不同的计算方法。torch.no_grad()是关闭PyTorch张量的自动求导机制，以减少存储使用和加速计算，得到的结果无法进行loss.backward()。
• torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss的输入不需要经过Softmax。torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss等价于torch.nn.functional.log_softmax + torch.nn.NLLLoss。
• loss.backward()前用optimizer.zero_grad()清除累积梯度。optimizer.zero_grad()和model.zero_grad()效果一样。

6-2 PyTorch性能与调试

• torch.utils.data.DataLoader中尽量设置pin_memory=True，对特别小的数据集如MNIST设置pin_memory=False反而更快一些。num_workers的设置需要在实验中找到最快的取值。

• 用del及时删除不用的中间变量，节约GPU存储。

• 使用inplace操作可节约GPU存储，如

  x = torch.nn.functional.relu(x, inplace=True)

• 减少CPU和GPU之间的数据传输。例如如果你想知道一个epoch中每个mini-batch的loss和准确率，先将它们累积在GPU中等一个epoch结束之后一起传输回CPU会比每个mini-batch都进行一次GPU到CPU的传输更快。

• 使用半精度浮点数half()会有一定的速度提升，具体效率依赖于GPU型号。需要小心数值精度过低带来的稳定性问题。

• 时常使用assert tensor.size() == (N, D, H, W)作为调试手段，确保张量维度和你设想中一致。

• 除了标记y外，尽量少使用一维张量，使用n*1的二维张量代替，可以避免一些意想不到的一维张量计算结果。

• 统计代码各部分耗时

  with torch.autograd.profiler.profile(enabled=True, use_cuda=False) as profile:
  …
  print(profile)

或者在命令行运行

python -m torch.utils.bottleneck main.py
