[docs]class profile: """Context manager that manages autograd profiler state and holds a summary of results. Under the hood it just records events of functions being executed in C++ and exposes those events to Python. You can wrap any code into it and it will only report runtime of PyTorch functions. Note: profiler is thread local and is automatically propagated into the async tasks Args: enabled (bool, optional): Setting this to False makes this context manager a no-op. use_cuda (bool, optional): Enables timing of CUDA events as well using the cudaEvent API. (will be deprecated) use_device (str, optional): Enables timing of device events. Adds approximately 4us of overhead to each tensor operation when use cuda. The valid devices options are 'cuda', 'xpu' and 'privateuseone'. record_shapes (bool, optional): If shapes recording is set, information about input dimensions will be collected. This allows one to see which dimensions have been used under the hood and further group by them using prof.key_averages(group_by_input_shape=True). Please note that shape recording might skew your profiling data. It is recommended to use separate runs with and without shape recording to validate the timing. Most likely the skew will be negligible for bottom most events (in a case of nested function calls). But for higher level functions the total self cpu time might be artificially increased because of the shape collection. with_flops (bool, optional): If with_flops is set, the profiler will estimate the FLOPs (floating point operations) value using the operator's input shape. This allows one to estimate the hardware performance. Currently, this option only works for the matrix multiplication and 2D convolution operators. profile_memory (bool, optional): track tensor memory allocation/deallocation. with_stack (bool, optional): record source information (file and line number) for the ops. with_modules (bool): record module hierarchy (including function names) corresponding to the callstack of the op. e.g. If module A's forward call's module B's forward which contains an aten::add op, then aten::add's module hierarchy is A.B Note that this support exist, at the moment, only for TorchScript models and not eager mode models. use_kineto (bool, optional): experimental, enable profiling with Kineto profiler. use_cpu (bool, optional): profile CPU events; setting to ``False`` requires ``use_kineto=True`` and can be used to lower the overhead for GPU-only profiling. experimental_config (_ExperimentalConfig) : A set of experimental options used by profiler libraries like Kineto. Note, backward compatibility is not guaranteed. .. warning: Enabling memory profiling or source attribution incurs additional profiler overhead .. warning: This context managers should not be called recursively, i.e. no nested instances are allowed .. warning: Due to some CUDA multiprocessing limitations (multiprocessing-cuda-note_), one cannot use the profiler with ``use_device = 'cuda'`` to benchmark DataLoaders with ``num_workers > 0``. If you wish to benchmark data loading, please use ``use_device = None`` or ``num_workers = 0``.

Arguments will be listed in the order they are received by the backend op. Please note that this order may not match the order in which those arguments were passed on the Python side. Also note that shape recording may increase the overhead of nvtx range creation. Default: ``False`` Example: >>> # xdoctest: +SKIP("undefined variables") >>> # xdoctest: +REQUIRES(env:TORCH_DOCTEST_AUTOGRAD_PROFILER) >>> with torch.cuda.profiler.profile(): ... model(x) # Warmup CUDA memory allocator and profiler ... with torch.autograd.profiler.emit_nvtx(): ... model(x) **Forward-backward correlation** When viewing a profile created using :class:`emit_nvtx` in the Nvidia Visual Profiler, correlating each backward-pass op with the corresponding forward-pass op can be difficult. To ease this task, :class:`emit_nvtx` appends sequence number information to the ranges it generates. During the forward pass, each function range is decorated with ``seq=<N>``. ``seq`` is a running counter, incremented each time a new backward Function object is created and stashed for backward. Thus, the ``seq=<N>`` annotation associated with each forward function range tells you that if a backward Function object is created by this forward function, the backward object will receive sequence number N. During the backward pass, the top-level range wrapping each C++ backward Function's ``apply()`` call is decorated with ``stashed seq=<M>``. ``M`` is the sequence number that the backward object was created with. By comparing ``stashed seq`` numbers in backward with ``seq`` numbers in forward, you can track down which forward op created each backward Function. Any functions executed during the backward pass are also decorated with ``seq=<N>``. During default backward (with ``create_graph=False``) this information is irrelevant, and in fact, ``N`` may simply be 0 for all such functions. Only the top-level ranges associated with backward Function objects' ``apply()`` methods are useful, as a way to correlate these Function objects with the earlier forward pass. **Double-backward** If, on the other hand, a backward pass with ``create_graph=True`` is underway (in other words, if you are setting up for a double-backward), each function's execution during backward is given a nonzero, useful ``seq=<N>``. Those functions may themselves create Function objects to be executed later during double-backward, just as the original functions in the forward pass did. The relationship between backward and double-backward is conceptually the same as the relationship between forward and backward: The functions still emit current-sequence-number-tagged ranges, the Function objects they create still stash those sequence numbers, and during the eventual double-backward, the Function objects' ``apply()`` ranges are still tagged with ``stashed seq`` numbers, which can be compared to `seq` numbers from the backward pass. .. warning: The sequence number is thread-local, and some forward functions don't create an associated backward Function object (instead delegating that to sub-functions further down the call chain). For these reasons, the correspondence of stashed sequence numbers in backward Function ``apply()`` ranges with `seq` numbers in forward-pass ranges is not guaranteed to be 1 to 1. The sequence numbers alone may not be enough to fully disambiguate which forward function created which backward Function object. You may need to make a judgment based on analytic knowledge of what the expected correspondence should be.

[docs]class KinetoStepTracker: """Provides an abstraction for incrementing the step count globally. Previously, we only had one place to mark that a step() has occurred in the program via pytorch profiler step(). We will now add step hooks in the Optimizer class https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/88446 - This could mean programs that already call profiler.step() every iteration can end up double incrementing step count. - If a model uses multiple optimizers we can also have double or more counting of the step. We fix this by adding a layer of abstraction before calling step() to the kineto library. The idea is to maintain steps per requester in a dict: .. code-block:: { "ProfilerStep": 100, # triggered by profiler step() call "Optimizer1Step": 100, # Optimizer 1 or 2 are just examples, could be SGD, Adam etc "Optimizer2Step": 100, } To figure out the global step count just take the max of dict values (100). If one of the count increments the max will go up. .. code-block:: { "ProfilerStep": 100, "Optimizer1Step": 101, # Optimizer1 got incremented first say "Optimizer2Step": 100, } Then global step count is 101 We only call the kineto step() function when global count increments. NOTE: Please do not use the KinetoStepTracker in modules beside the Optimizer for now. The result could be incorrect increments of the step count.
