TicTacToeEnv¶

class torchrl.envs.TicTacToeEnv(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶

A Tic-Tac-Toe implementation.

Keyword Arguments:

single_player (bool, optional) – whether one or two players have to be accounted for. single_player=True means that "player1" is playing randomly. If False (default), at each turn, one of the two players has to play.
device (torch.device, optional) – the device where to put the tensors. Defaults to None (default device).

The environment is stateless. To run it across multiple batches, call

>>> env.reset(TensorDict(batch_size=desired_batch_size))

If the "mask" entry is present, rand_action takes it into account to generate the next action. Any policy executed on this env should take this mask into account, as well as the turn of the player (stored in the "turn" output entry).

    batch_size=torch.Size([9]),
    device=None,
    is_shared=False)

property action_key: NestedKey¶

The action key of an environment.

By default, this will be “action”.

If there is more than one action key in the environment, this function will raise an exception.

property action_keys: List[NestedKey]¶

The action keys of an environment.

By default, there will only be one key named “action”.

Keys are sorted by depth in the data tree.

property action_spec: TensorSpec¶

The action spec.

The action_spec is always stored as a composite spec.

If the action spec is provided as a simple spec, this will be returned.

>>> env.action_spec = Unbounded(1)
>>> env.action_spec
UnboundedContinuous(
    shape=torch.Size([1]),
    space=ContinuousBox(
        low=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True),
        high=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True)),
    device=cpu,
    dtype=torch.float32,
    domain=continuous)

If the action spec is provided as a composite spec and contains only one leaf, this function will return just the leaf.

>>> env.action_spec = Composite({"nested": {"action": Unbounded(1)}})
>>> env.action_spec
UnboundedContinuous(
    shape=torch.Size([1]),
    space=ContinuousBox(
        low=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True),
        high=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True)),
    device=cpu,
    dtype=torch.float32,
    domain=continuous)

If the action spec is provided as a composite spec and has more than one leaf, this function will return the whole spec.

>>> env.action_spec = Composite({"nested": {"action": Unbounded(1), "another_action": Categorical(1)}})
>>> env.action_spec
Composite(
    nested: Composite(
        action: UnboundedContinuous(
            shape=torch.Size([1]),
            space=ContinuousBox(
                low=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True),
                high=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True)),
            device=cpu,
            dtype=torch.float32,
            domain=continuous),
        another_action: Categorical(
            shape=torch.Size([]),
            space=DiscreteBox(n=1),
            device=cpu,
            dtype=torch.int64,
            domain=discrete), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([])), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([]))

To retrieve the full spec passed, use:

>>> env.input_spec["full_action_spec"]

This property is mutable.

Examples

>>> from torchrl.envs.libs.gym import GymEnv
>>> env = GymEnv("Pendulum-v1")
>>> env.action_spec
BoundedContinuous(
    shape=torch.Size([1]),
    space=ContinuousBox(
        low=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True),
        high=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True)),
    device=cpu,
    dtype=torch.float32,
    domain=continuous)

add_truncated_keys() → EnvBase¶: Adds truncated keys to the environment.

append_transform(transform: 'Transform' | Callable[[TensorDictBase], TensorDictBase]) → EnvBase¶

Returns a transformed environment where the callable/transform passed is applied.

Parameters:: transform (Transform or Callable[[TensorDictBase], TensorDictBase]) – the transform to apply to the environment.

Examples

    transform=_CallableTransform(keys=[]))

apply(fn: Callable[[Module], None]) → T¶

Apply fn recursively to every submodule (as returned by .children()) as well as self.

Typical use includes initializing the parameters of a model (see also torch.nn.init).

Parameters:: fn (Module -> None) – function to be applied to each submodule
Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

Example:

>>> @torch.no_grad()
>>> def init_weights(m):
>>>     print(m)
>>>     if type(m) == nn.Linear:
>>>         m.weight.fill_(1.0)
>>>         print(m.weight)
>>> net = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(2, 2), nn.Linear(2, 2))
>>> net.apply(init_weights)
Linear(in_features=2, out_features=2, bias=True)
Parameter containing:
tensor([[1., 1.],
        [1., 1.]], requires_grad=True)
Linear(in_features=2, out_features=2, bias=True)
Parameter containing:
tensor([[1., 1.],

Sequential(
  (0): Linear(in_features=2, out_features=2, bias=True)
  (1): Linear(in_features=2, out_features=2, bias=True)
)

property batch_dims: int¶: Number of batch dimensions of the env.

property batch_size: Size¶

Number of envs batched in this environment instance organised in a torch.Size() object.

Environment may be similar or different but it is assumed that they have little if not no interactions between them (e.g., multi-task or batched execution in parallel).

bfloat16() → T¶

Casts all floating point parameters and buffers to bfloat16 datatype.

Note

This method modifies the module in-place.

Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

buffers(recurse: bool = True) → Iterator[Tensor]¶

Return an iterator over module buffers.

Parameters:: recurse (bool) – if True, then yields buffers of this module and all submodules. Otherwise, yields only buffers that are direct members of this module.
Yields:: torch.Tensor – module buffer

Example:

>>> # xdoctest: +SKIP("undefined vars")
>>> for buf in model.buffers():
>>>     print(type(buf), buf.size())
<class 'torch.Tensor'> (20L,)
<class 'torch.Tensor'> (20L, 1L, 5L, 5L)

children() → Iterator[Module]¶

Return an iterator over immediate children modules.

Yields:: Module – a child module

compile(*args, **kwargs)¶

Compile this Module’s forward using torch.compile().

This Module’s __call__ method is compiled and all arguments are passed as-is to torch.compile().

See torch.compile() for details on the arguments for this function.

cpu() → T¶

Move all model parameters and buffers to the CPU.

Note

This method modifies the module in-place.

Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

cuda(device: Optional[Union[int, device]] = None) → T¶

Move all model parameters and buffers to the GPU.

This also makes associated parameters and buffers different objects. So it should be called before constructing optimizer if the module will live on GPU while being optimized.

Note

This method modifies the module in-place.

Parameters:: device (int, optional) – if specified, all parameters will be copied to that device
Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

property done_key¶

The done key of an environment.

By default, this will be “done”.

If there is more than one done key in the environment, this function will raise an exception.

property done_keys: List[NestedKey]¶

The done keys of an environment.

By default, there will only be one key named “done”.

Keys are sorted by depth in the data tree.

property done_keys_groups¶

A list of done keys, grouped as the reset keys.

This is a list of lists. The outer list has the length of reset keys, the inner lists contain the done keys (eg, done and truncated) that can be read to determine a reset when it is absent.

property done_spec: TensorSpec¶

The done spec.

The done_spec is always stored as a composite spec.

If the done spec is provided as a simple spec, this will be returned.

>>> env.done_spec = Categorical(2, dtype=torch.bool)
>>> env.done_spec
Categorical(
    shape=torch.Size([]),
    space=DiscreteBox(n=2),
    device=cpu,
    dtype=torch.bool,
    domain=discrete)

If the done spec is provided as a composite spec and contains only one leaf, this function will return just the leaf.

>>> env.done_spec = Composite({"nested": {"done": Categorical(2, dtype=torch.bool)}})
>>> env.done_spec
Categorical(
    shape=torch.Size([]),
    space=DiscreteBox(n=2),
    device=cpu,
    dtype=torch.bool,
    domain=discrete)

If the done spec is provided as a composite spec and has more than one leaf, this function will return the whole spec.

>>> env.done_spec = Composite({"nested": {"done": Categorical(2, dtype=torch.bool), "another_done": Categorical(2, dtype=torch.bool)}})
>>> env.done_spec
Composite(
    nested: Composite(
        done: Categorical(
            shape=torch.Size([]),
            space=DiscreteBox(n=2),
            device=cpu,
            dtype=torch.bool,
            domain=discrete),
        another_done: Categorical(
            shape=torch.Size([]),
            space=DiscreteBox(n=2),
            device=cpu,
            dtype=torch.bool,
            domain=discrete), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([])), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([]))

To always retrieve the full spec passed, use:

>>> env.output_spec["full_done_spec"]

This property is mutable.

Examples

>>> from torchrl.envs.libs.gym import GymEnv
>>> env = GymEnv("Pendulum-v1")
>>> env.done_spec
Categorical(
    shape=torch.Size([1]),
    space=DiscreteBox(n=2),
    device=cpu,
    dtype=torch.bool,
    domain=discrete)

double() → T¶

Casts all floating point parameters and buffers to double datatype.

Note

This method modifies the module in-place.

Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

empty_cache()¶

Erases all the cached values.

For regular envs, the key lists (reward, done etc) are cached, but in some cases they may change during the execution of the code (eg, when adding a transform).

eval() → T¶

Set the module in evaluation mode.

This has any effect only on certain modules. See documentations of particular modules for details of their behaviors in training/evaluation mode, if they are affected, e.g. Dropout, BatchNorm, etc.

This is equivalent with self.train(False).

See Locally disabling gradient computation for a comparison between .eval() and several similar mechanisms that may be confused with it.

Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

extra_repr() → str¶

Set the extra representation of the module.

To print customized extra information, you should re-implement this method in your own modules. Both single-line and multi-line strings are acceptable.

fake_tensordict() → TensorDictBase¶: Returns a fake tensordict with key-value pairs that match in shape, device and dtype what can be expected during an environment rollout.

float() → T¶

Casts all floating point parameters and buffers to float datatype.

Note

This method modifies the module in-place.

Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

forward(tensordict: TensorDictBase) → TensorDictBase¶

Define the computation performed at every call.

Should be overridden by all subclasses.

Note

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the registered hooks while the latter silently ignores them.

property full_action_spec: Composite¶

The full action spec.

full_action_spec is a Composite` instance that contains all the action entries.

Examples

>>> from torchrl.envs import BraxEnv

>>> env = TransformedEnv(base_env, RenameTransform("reward", ("nested", "reward")))
>>> env.full_reward_spec
Composite(
    nested: Composite(
        reward: UnboundedContinuous(
            shape=torch.Size([1]),
            space=ContinuousBox(
                low=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True),
                high=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True)),
            device=cpu,
            dtype=torch.float32,
            domain=continuous), device=None, shape=torch.Size([])), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([]))

property full_state_spec: Composite¶

The full state spec.

full_state_spec is a Composite` instance that contains all the state entries (ie, the input data that is not action).

Examples

>>> from torchrl.envs import BraxEnv
>>> for envname in BraxEnv.available_envs:
...     break
>>> env = BraxEnv(envname)
>>> env.full_state_spec
Composite(
    state: Composite(
        pipeline_state: Composite(
            q: UnboundedContinuous(
                shape=torch.Size([15]),
                space=None,
                device=cpu,

                domain=continuous),
    [...], device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([])), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([])), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([]))

get_buffer(target: str) → Tensor¶

Return the buffer given by target if it exists, otherwise throw an error.

See the docstring for get_submodule for a more detailed explanation of this method’s functionality as well as how to correctly specify target.

Parameters:: target – The fully-qualified string name of the buffer to look for. (See get_submodule for how to specify a fully-qualified string.)
Returns:: The buffer referenced by target
Return type:: torch.Tensor
Raises:: AttributeError – If the target string references an invalid path or resolves to something that is not a buffer

get_extra_state() → Any¶

Return any extra state to include in the module’s state_dict.

Implement this and a corresponding set_extra_state() for your module if you need to store extra state. This function is called when building the module’s state_dict().

Note that extra state should be picklable to ensure working serialization of the state_dict. We only provide provide backwards compatibility guarantees for serializing Tensors; other objects may break backwards compatibility if their serialized pickled form changes.

Returns:: Any extra state to store in the module’s state_dict
Return type:: object

get_parameter(target: str) → Parameter¶

Return the parameter given by target if it exists, otherwise throw an error.

See the docstring for get_submodule for a more detailed explanation of this method’s functionality as well as how to correctly specify target.

Parameters:: target – The fully-qualified string name of the Parameter to look for. (See get_submodule for how to specify a fully-qualified string.)
Returns:: The Parameter referenced by target
Return type:: torch.nn.Parameter
Raises:: AttributeError – If the target string references an invalid path or resolves to something that is not an nn.Parameter

get_submodule(target: str) → Module¶

Return the submodule given by target if it exists, otherwise throw an error.

For example, let’s say you have an nn.Module A that looks like this:

A(
    (net_b): Module(
        (net_c): Module(
            (conv): Conv2d(16, 33, kernel_size=(3, 3), stride=(2, 2))
        )
        (linear): Linear(in_features=100, out_features=200, bias=True)
    )
)

(The diagram shows an nn.Module A. A has a nested submodule net_b, which itself has two submodules net_c and linear. net_c then has a submodule conv.)

To check whether or not we have the linear submodule, we would call get_submodule("net_b.linear"). To check whether we have the conv submodule, we would call get_submodule("net_b.net_c.conv").

The runtime of get_submodule is bounded by the degree of module nesting in target. A query against named_modules achieves the same result, but it is O(N) in the number of transitive modules. So, for a simple check to see if some submodule exists, get_submodule should always be used.

Parameters:: target – The fully-qualified string name of the submodule to look for. (See above example for how to specify a fully-qualified string.)
Returns:: The submodule referenced by target
Return type:: torch.nn.Module
Raises:: AttributeError – If the target string references an invalid path or resolves to something that is not an nn.Module

half() → T¶

Casts all floating point parameters and buffers to half datatype.

Note

This method modifies the module in-place.

Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

property input_spec: TensorSpec¶

Input spec.

The composite spec containing all specs for data input to the environments.

It contains:

“full_action_spec”: the spec of the input actions
“full_state_spec”: the spec of all other environment inputs

This attibute is locked and should be read-only. Instead, to set the specs contained in it, use the respective properties.

Examples

>>> from torchrl.envs.libs.gym import GymEnv
>>> env = GymEnv("Pendulum-v1")
>>> env.input_spec
Composite(
    full_state_spec: None,
    full_action_spec: Composite(
        action: BoundedContinuous(

ipu(device: Optional[Union[int, device]] = None) → T¶

Move all model parameters and buffers to the IPU.

This also makes associated parameters and buffers different objects. So it should be called before constructing optimizer if the module will live on IPU while being optimized.

Note

This method modifies the module in-place.

Parameters:: device (int, optional) – if specified, all parameters will be copied to that device
Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

load_state_dict(state_dict: Mapping[str, Any], strict: bool = True, assign: bool = False)¶

Copy parameters and buffers from state_dict into this module and its descendants.

If strict is True, then the keys of state_dict must exactly match the keys returned by this module’s state_dict() function.

Warning

If assign is True the optimizer must be created after the call to load_state_dict unless get_swap_module_params_on_conversion() is True.

Parameters:

state_dict (dict) – a dict containing parameters and persistent buffers.
strict (bool, optional) – whether to strictly enforce that the keys in state_dict match the keys returned by this module’s state_dict() function. Default: True
assign (bool, optional) – When False, the properties of the tensors in the current module are preserved while when True, the properties of the Tensors in the state dict are preserved. The only exception is the requires_grad field of Default: ``False`

Returns:

missing_keys is a list of str containing any keys that are expected
by this module but missing from the provided state_dict.
unexpected_keys is a list of str containing the keys that are not
expected by this module but present in the provided state_dict.

Return type:

NamedTuple with missing_keys and unexpected_keys fields

Note

If a parameter or buffer is registered as None and its corresponding key exists in state_dict, load_state_dict() will raise a RuntimeError.

maybe_reset(tensordict: TensorDictBase) → TensorDictBase¶

Checks the done keys of the input tensordict and, if needed, resets the environment where it is done.

Parameters:: tensordict (TensorDictBase) – a tensordict coming from the output of step_mdp().
Returns:: A tensordict that is identical to the input where the environment was not reset and contains the new reset data where the environment was reset.

modules() → Iterator[Module]¶

Return an iterator over all modules in the network.

Yields:: Module – a module in the network

Note

Duplicate modules are returned only once. In the following example, l will be returned only once.

Example:

>>> l = nn.Linear(2, 2)
>>> net = nn.Sequential(l, l)
>>> for idx, m in enumerate(net.modules()):
...     print(idx, '->', m)

0 -> Sequential(
  (0): Linear(in_features=2, out_features=2, bias=True)
  (1): Linear(in_features=2, out_features=2, bias=True)
)
1 -> Linear(in_features=2, out_features=2, bias=True)

mtia(device: Optional[Union[int, device]] = None) → T¶

Move all model parameters and buffers to the MTIA.

This also makes associated parameters and buffers different objects. So it should be called before constructing optimizer if the module will live on MTIA while being optimized.

Note

This method modifies the module in-place.

Parameters:: device (int, optional) – if specified, all parameters will be copied to that device
Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

>>>     if name in ['bias']:
>>>         print(param.size())

property observation_spec: Composite¶

Observation spec.

Must be a torchrl.data.Composite instance. The keys listed in the spec are directly accessible after reset and step.

In TorchRL, even though they are not properly speaking “observations” all info, states, results of transforms etc. outputs from the environment are stored in the observation_spec.

Therefore, "observation_spec" should be thought as a generic data container for environment outputs that are not done or reward data.

Examples

>>> from torchrl.envs.libs.gym import GymEnv
>>> env = GymEnv("Pendulum-v1")
>>> env.observation_spec
Composite(
    observation: BoundedContinuous(
        shape=torch.Size([3]),
        space=ContinuousBox(
            low=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True),
            high=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True)),
        device=cpu,
        dtype=torch.float32,
        domain=continuous), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([]))

property output_spec: TensorSpec¶

Output spec.

The composite spec containing all specs for data output from the environments.

It contains:

“full_reward_spec”: the spec of reward
“full_done_spec”: the spec of done
“full_observation_spec”: the spec of all other environment outputs

This attibute is locked and should be read-only. Instead, to set the specs contained in it, use the respective properties.

Examples

>>> from torchrl.envs.libs.gym import GymEnv
>>> env = GymEnv("Pendulum-v1")
>>> env.output_spec
Composite(
    full_reward_spec: Composite(
        reward: UnboundedContinuous(
            shape=torch.Size([1]),
            space=None,
            device=cpu,
            dtype=torch.float32,
            domain=continuous), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([])),
    full_observation_spec: Composite(
        observation: BoundedContinuous(
            shape=torch.Size([3]),
            space=ContinuousBox(
                low=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True),
                high=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True)),
            device=cpu,
            dtype=torch.float32,
            domain=continuous), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([])),
    full_done_spec: Composite(
        done: Categorical(
            shape=torch.Size([1]),
            space=DiscreteBox(n=2),
            device=cpu,
            dtype=torch.bool,
            domain=discrete), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([])), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([]))

parameters(recurse: bool = True) → Iterator[Parameter]¶

Return an iterator over module parameters.

This is typically passed to an optimizer.

Parameters:: recurse (bool) – if True, then yields parameters of this module and all submodules. Otherwise, yields only parameters that are direct members of this module.
Yields:: Parameter – module parameter

Example:

>>> # xdoctest: +SKIP("undefined vars")
>>> for param in model.parameters():
>>>     print(type(param), param.size())
<class 'torch.Tensor'> (20L,)
<class 'torch.Tensor'> (20L, 1L, 5L, 5L)

rand_action(tensordict: Optional[TensorDictBase] = None)[source]¶

Performs a random action given the action_spec attribute.

Parameters:: tensordict (TensorDictBase, optional) – tensordict where the resulting action should be written.
Returns:: a tensordict object with the “action” entry updated with a random sample from the action-spec.

rand_step(tensordict: Optional[TensorDictBase] = None) → TensorDictBase¶

Performs a random step in the environment given the action_spec attribute.

Parameters:: tensordict (TensorDictBase, optional) – tensordict where the resulting info should be written.
Returns:: a tensordict object with the new observation after a random step in the environment. The action will be stored with the “action” key.

register_backward_hook(hook: Callable[[Module, Union[Tuple[Tensor, ...], Tensor], Union[Tuple[Tensor, ...], Tensor]], Union[None, Tuple[Tensor, ...], Tensor]]) → RemovableHandle¶

Register a backward hook on the module.

This function is deprecated in favor of register_full_backward_hook() and the behavior of this function will change in future versions.

Returns:: a handle that can be used to remove the added hook by calling handle.remove()
Return type:: torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

register_buffer(name: str, tensor: Optional[Tensor], persistent: bool = True) → None¶

Add a buffer to the module.

This is typically used to register a buffer that should not to be considered a model parameter. For example, BatchNorm’s running_mean is not a parameter, but is part of the module’s state. Buffers, by default, are persistent and will be saved alongside parameters. This behavior can be changed by setting persistent to False. The only difference between a persistent buffer and a non-persistent buffer is that the latter will not be a part of this module’s state_dict.

Buffers can be accessed as attributes using given names.

Parameters:

name (str) – name of the buffer. The buffer can be accessed from this module using the given name
tensor (Tensor or None) – buffer to be registered. If None, then operations that run on buffers, such as cuda, are ignored. If None, the buffer is not included in the module’s state_dict.
persistent (bool) – whether the buffer is part of this module’s state_dict.

Example:

>>> # xdoctest: +SKIP("undefined vars")
>>> self.register_buffer('running_mean', torch.zeros(num_features))

register_forward_hook(hook: Union[Callable[[T, Tuple[Any, ...], Any], Optional[Any]], Callable[[T, Tuple[Any, ...], Dict[str, Any], Any], Optional[Any]]], *, prepend: bool = False, with_kwargs: bool = False, always_call: bool = False) → RemovableHandle¶

Register a forward hook on the module.

The hook will be called every time after forward() has computed an output.

If with_kwargs is False or not specified, the input contains only the positional arguments given to the module. Keyword arguments won’t be passed to the hooks and only to the forward. The hook can modify the output. It can modify the input inplace but it will not have effect on forward since this is called after forward() is called. The hook should have the following signature:

hook(module, args, output) -> None or modified output

If with_kwargs is True, the forward hook will be passed the kwargs given to the forward function and be expected to return the output possibly modified. The hook should have the following signature:

hook(module, args, kwargs, output) -> None or modified output

Parameters:

hook (Callable) – The user defined hook to be registered.
prepend (bool) – If True, the provided hook will be fired before all existing forward hooks on this torch.nn.modules.Module. Otherwise, the provided hook will be fired after all existing forward hooks on this torch.nn.modules.Module. Note that global forward hooks registered with register_module_forward_hook() will fire before all hooks registered by this method. Default: False
with_kwargs (bool) – If True, the hook will be passed the kwargs given to the forward function. Default: False
always_call (bool) – If True the hook will be run regardless of whether an exception is raised while calling the Module. Default: False

Returns:

a handle that can be used to remove the added hook by calling handle.remove()

Return type:

torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

register_forward_pre_hook(hook: Union[Callable[[T, Tuple[Any, ...]], Optional[Any]], Callable[[T, Tuple[Any, ...], Dict[str, Any]], Optional[Tuple[Any, Dict[str, Any]]]]], *, prepend: bool = False, with_kwargs: bool = False) → RemovableHandle¶

Register a forward pre-hook on the module.

The hook will be called every time before forward() is invoked.

If with_kwargs is false or not specified, the input contains only the positional arguments given to the module. Keyword arguments won’t be passed to the hooks and only to the forward. The hook can modify the input. User can either return a tuple or a single modified value in the hook. We will wrap the value into a tuple if a single value is returned (unless that value is already a tuple). The hook should have the following signature:

hook(module, args) -> None or modified input

If with_kwargs is true, the forward pre-hook will be passed the kwargs given to the forward function. And if the hook modifies the input, both the args and kwargs should be returned. The hook should have the following signature:

hook(module, args, kwargs) -> None or a tuple of modified input and kwargs

Parameters:

hook (Callable) – The user defined hook to be registered.
prepend (bool) – If true, the provided hook will be fired before all existing forward_pre hooks on this torch.nn.modules.Module. Otherwise, the provided hook will be fired after all existing forward_pre hooks on this torch.nn.modules.Module. Note that global forward_pre hooks registered with register_module_forward_pre_hook() will fire before all hooks registered by this method. Default: False
with_kwargs (bool) – If true, the hook will be passed the kwargs given to the forward function. Default: False

Returns:

a handle that can be used to remove the added hook by calling handle.remove()

Return type:

torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

register_full_backward_hook(hook: Callable[[Module, Union[Tuple[Tensor, ...], Tensor], Union[Tuple[Tensor, ...], Tensor]], Union[None, Tuple[Tensor, ...], Tensor]], prepend: bool = False) → RemovableHandle¶

Register a backward hook on the module.

The hook will be called every time the gradients with respect to a module are computed, i.e. the hook will execute if and only if the gradients with respect to module outputs are computed. The hook should have the following signature:

hook(module, grad_input, grad_output) -> tuple(Tensor) or None

The grad_input and grad_output are tuples that contain the gradients with respect to the inputs and outputs respectively. The hook should not modify its arguments, but it can optionally return a new gradient with respect to the input that will be used in place of grad_input in subsequent computations. grad_input will only correspond to the inputs given as positional arguments and all kwarg arguments are ignored. Entries in grad_input and grad_output will be None for all non-Tensor arguments.

For technical reasons, when this hook is applied to a Module, its forward function will receive a view of each Tensor passed to the Module. Similarly the caller will receive a view of each Tensor returned by the Module’s forward function.

Warning

Modifying inputs or outputs inplace is not allowed when using backward hooks and will raise an error.

Parameters:

hook (Callable) – The user-defined hook to be registered.
prepend (bool) – If true, the provided hook will be fired before all existing backward hooks on this torch.nn.modules.Module. Otherwise, the provided hook will be fired after all existing backward hooks on this torch.nn.modules.Module. Note that global backward hooks registered with register_module_full_backward_hook() will fire before all hooks registered by this method.

Returns:

a handle that can be used to remove the added hook by calling handle.remove()

Return type:

torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

register_full_backward_pre_hook(hook: Callable[[Module, Union[Tuple[Tensor, ...], Tensor]], Union[None, Tuple[Tensor, ...], Tensor]], prepend: bool = False) → RemovableHandle¶

Register a backward pre-hook on the module.

The hook will be called every time the gradients for the module are computed. The hook should have the following signature:

hook(module, grad_output) -> tuple[Tensor] or None

The grad_output is a tuple. The hook should not modify its arguments, but it can optionally return a new gradient with respect to the output that will be used in place of grad_output in subsequent computations. Entries in grad_output will be None for all non-Tensor arguments.

For technical reasons, when this hook is applied to a Module, its forward function will receive a view of each Tensor passed to the Module. Similarly the caller will receive a view of each Tensor returned by the Module’s forward function.

Warning

Modifying inputs inplace is not allowed when using backward hooks and will raise an error.

Parameters:

hook (Callable) – The user-defined hook to be registered.
prepend (bool) – If true, the provided hook will be fired before all existing backward_pre hooks on this torch.nn.modules.Module. Otherwise, the provided hook will be fired after all existing backward_pre hooks on this torch.nn.modules.Module. Note that global backward_pre hooks registered with register_module_full_backward_pre_hook() will fire before all hooks registered by this method.

Returns:

a handle that can be used to remove the added hook by calling handle.remove()

Return type:

torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

classmethod register_gym(id: str, *, entry_point: Callable | None = None, transform: 'Transform' | None = None, info_keys: List[NestedKey] | None = None, backend: str = None, to_numpy: bool = False, reward_threshold: float | None = None, nondeterministic: bool = False, max_episode_steps: int | None = None, order_enforce: bool = True, autoreset: bool = False, disable_env_checker: bool = False, apply_api_compatibility: bool = False, **kwargs)¶

Registers an environment in gym(nasium).

This method is designed with the following scopes in mind:

Incorporate a TorchRL-first environment in a framework that uses Gym;

Incorporate another environment (eg, DeepMind Control, Brax, Jumanji, …) in a framework that uses Gym.

Parameters:

id (str) – the name of the environment. Should follow the gym naming convention.

Keyword Arguments:

entry_point (callable, optional) –

the entry point to build the environment. If none is passed, the parent class will be used as entry point. Typically, this is used to register an environment that does not necessarily inherit from the base being used:

>>> from torchrl.envs import DMControlEnv
>>> DMControlEnv.register_gym("DMC-cheetah-v0", env_name="cheetah", task="run")
>>> # equivalently
>>> EnvBase.register_gym("DMC-cheetah-v0", entry_point=DMControlEnv, env_name="cheetah", task="run")

transform (torchrl.envs.Transform) – a transform (or list of transforms within a torchrl.envs.Compose instance) to be used with the env. This arg can be passed during a call to make() (see example below).
info_keys (List[NestedKey], optional) –
if provided, these keys will be used to build the info dictionary and will be excluded from the observation keys. This arg can be passed during a call to make() (see example below).

Warning

It may be the case that using info_keys makes a spec empty because the content has been moved to the info dictionary. Gym does not like empty Dict in the specs, so this empty content should be removed with RemoveEmptySpecs.
backend (str, optional) – the backend. Can be either “gym” or “gymnasium” or any other backend compatible with set_gym_backend.
to_numpy (bool, optional) – if True, the result of calls to step and reset will be mapped to numpy arrays. Defaults to False (results are tensors). This arg can be passed during a call to make() (see example below).
reward_threshold (float, optional) – [Gym kwarg] The reward threshold considered to have learnt an environment.
nondeterministic (bool, optional) – [Gym kwarg If the environment is nondeterministic (even with knowledge of the initial seed and all actions). Defaults to False.
max_episode_steps (int, optional) – [Gym kwarg] The maximum number of episodes steps before truncation. Used by the Time Limit wrapper.
order_enforce (bool, optional) – [Gym >= 0.14] Whether the order enforcer wrapper should be applied to ensure users run functions in the correct order. Defaults to True.
autoreset (bool, optional) – [Gym >= 0.14] Whether the autoreset wrapper should be added such that reset does not need to be called. Defaults to False.
disable_env_checker – [Gym >= 0.14] Whether the environment checker should be disabled for the environment. Defaults to False.
apply_api_compatibility – [Gym >= 0.26] If to apply the StepAPICompatibility wrapper. Defaults to False.
**kwargs – arbitrary keyword arguments which are passed to the environment constructor.

Note

TorchRL’s environment do not have the concept of an "info" dictionary, as TensorDict offers all the storage requirements deemed necessary in most training settings. Still, you can use the info_keys argument to have a fine grained control over what is deemed to be considered as an observation and what should be seen as info.

register_load_state_dict_post_hook(hook)¶

Register a post-hook to be run after module’s load_state_dict() is called.

It should have the following signature::: hook(module, incompatible_keys) -> None

The module argument is the current module that this hook is registered on, and the incompatible_keys argument is a NamedTuple consisting of attributes missing_keys and unexpected_keys. missing_keys is a list of str containing the missing keys and unexpected_keys is a list of str containing the unexpected keys.

The given incompatible_keys can be modified inplace if needed.

Note that the checks performed when calling load_state_dict() with strict=True are affected by modifications the hook makes to missing_keys or unexpected_keys, as expected. Additions to either set of keys will result in an error being thrown when strict=True, and clearing out both missing and unexpected keys will avoid an error.

Returns:: a handle that can be used to remove the added hook by calling handle.remove()
Return type:: torch.utils.hooks.RemovableHandle

register_load_state_dict_pre_hook(hook)¶

Register a pre-hook to be run before module’s load_state_dict() is called.

It should have the following signature::: hook(module, state_dict, prefix, local_metadata, strict, missing_keys, unexpected_keys, error_msgs) -> None # noqa: B950

Parameters:: hook (Callable) – Callable hook that will be invoked before loading the state dict.

register_module(name: str, module: Optional[Module]) → None¶: Alias for add_module().

register_parameter(name: str, param: Optional[Parameter]) → None¶

Add a parameter to the module.

The parameter can be accessed as an attribute using given name.

Parameters:

name (str) – name of the parameter. The parameter can be accessed from this module using the given name
param (Parameter or None) – parameter to be added to the module. If None, then operations that run on parameters, such as cuda, are ignored. If None, the parameter is not included in the module’s state_dict.

register_state_dict_post_hook(hook)¶

Register a post-hook for the state_dict() method.

It should have the following signature::: hook(module, state_dict, prefix, local_metadata) -> None

The registered hooks can modify the state_dict inplace.

register_state_dict_pre_hook(hook)¶

Register a pre-hook for the state_dict() method.

It should have the following signature::: hook(module, prefix, keep_vars) -> None

The registered hooks can be used to perform pre-processing before the state_dict call is made.

requires_grad_(requires_grad: bool = True) → T¶

Change if autograd should record operations on parameters in this module.

This method sets the parameters’ requires_grad attributes in-place.

This method is helpful for freezing part of the module for finetuning or training parts of a model individually (e.g., GAN training).

See Locally disabling gradient computation for a comparison between .requires_grad_() and several similar mechanisms that may be confused with it.

Parameters:: requires_grad (bool) – whether autograd should record operations on parameters in this module. Default: True.
Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

reset(tensordict: Optional[TensorDictBase] = None, **kwargs) → TensorDictBase¶

Resets the environment.

As for step and _step, only the private method _reset should be overwritten by EnvBase subclasses.

Parameters:

tensordict (TensorDictBase, optional) – tensordict to be used to contain the resulting new observation. In some cases, this input can also be used to pass argument to the reset function.
kwargs (optional) – other arguments to be passed to the native reset function.

Returns:

a tensordict (or the input tensordict, if any), modified in place with the resulting observations.

property reset_keys: List[NestedKey]¶

Returns a list of reset keys.

Reset keys are keys that indicate partial reset, in batched, multitask or multiagent settings. They are structured as (*prefix, "_reset") where prefix is a (possibly empty) tuple of strings pointing to a tensordict location where a done state can be found.

Keys are sorted by depth in the data tree.

property reward_key¶

The reward key of an environment.

By default, this will be “reward”.

If there is more than one reward key in the environment, this function will raise an exception.

property reward_keys: List[NestedKey]¶

The reward keys of an environment.

By default, there will only be one key named “reward”.

Keys are sorted by depth in the data tree.

property reward_spec: TensorSpec¶

The reward spec.

The reward_spec is always stored as a composite spec.

If the reward spec is provided as a simple spec, this will be returned.

>>> env.reward_spec = Unbounded(1)
>>> env.reward_spec
UnboundedContinuous(
    shape=torch.Size([1]),
    space=ContinuousBox(
        low=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True),
        high=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True)),
    device=cpu,
    dtype=torch.float32,
    domain=continuous)

If the reward spec is provided as a composite spec and contains only one leaf, this function will return just the leaf.

>>> env.reward_spec = Composite({"nested": {"reward": Unbounded(1)}})
>>> env.reward_spec
UnboundedContinuous(
    shape=torch.Size([1]),
    space=ContinuousBox(
        low=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True),
        high=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True)),
    device=cpu,
    dtype=torch.float32,
    domain=continuous)

If the reward spec is provided as a composite spec and has more than one leaf, this function will return the whole spec.

>>> env.reward_spec = Composite({"nested": {"reward": Unbounded(1), "another_reward": Categorical(1)}})
>>> env.reward_spec
Composite(
    nested: Composite(
        reward: UnboundedContinuous(
            shape=torch.Size([1]),
            space=ContinuousBox(
                low=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True),
                high=Tensor(shape=torch.Size([]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, contiguous=True)),
            device=cpu,
            dtype=torch.float32,
            domain=continuous),
        another_reward: Categorical(
            shape=torch.Size([]),
            space=DiscreteBox(n=1),
            device=cpu,
            dtype=torch.int64,
            domain=discrete), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([])), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([]))

To retrieve the full spec passed, use:

>>> env.output_spec["full_reward_spec"]

This property is mutable.

Examples

>>> from torchrl.envs.libs.gym import GymEnv
>>> env = GymEnv("Pendulum-v1")
>>> env.reward_spec
UnboundedContinuous(
    shape=torch.Size([1]),
    space=None,
    device=cpu,
    dtype=torch.float32,
    domain=continuous)

rollout(max_steps: int, policy: Optional[Callable[[TensorDictBase], TensorDictBase]] = None, callback: Optional[Callable[[TensorDictBase, ...], Any]] = None, *, auto_reset: bool = True, auto_cast_to_device: bool = False, break_when_any_done: Optional[bool] = None, break_when_all_done: Optional[bool] = None, return_contiguous: bool = True, tensordict: Optional[TensorDictBase] = None, set_truncated: bool = False, out=None, trust_policy: bool = False) → TensorDictBase¶

Executes a rollout in the environment.

The function will return as soon as any of the contained environments reaches any of the done states.

Parameters:

max_steps (int) – maximum number of steps to be executed. The actual number of steps can be smaller if the environment reaches a done state before max_steps have been executed.
policy (callable, optional) – callable to be called to compute the desired action. If no policy is provided, actions will be called using env.rand_step(). The policy can be any callable that reads either a tensordict or the entire sequence of observation entries __sorted as__ the env.observation_spec.keys(). Defaults to None.
callback (Callable[[TensorDict], Any], optional) – function to be called at each iteration with the given TensorDict. Defaults to None. The output of callback will not be collected, it is the user responsibility to save any result within the callback call if data needs to be carried over beyond the call to rollout.

Keyword Arguments:

auto_reset (bool, optional) – if True, the contained environments will be reset before starting the rollout. If False, then the rollout will continue from a previous state, which requires the tensordict argument to be passed with the previous rollout. Default is True.
auto_cast_to_device (bool, optional) – if True, the device of the tensordict is automatically cast to the policy device before the policy is used. Default is False.
break_when_any_done (bool) – if True, break when any of the contained environments reaches any of the done states. If False, then the done environments are reset automatically. Default is True.
break_when_all_done (bool, optional) – if True, break if all of the contained environments reach any of the done states. If False, break if at least one environment reaches any of the done states. Default is False.
return_contiguous (bool) – if False, a LazyStackedTensorDict will be returned. Default is True.
tensordict (TensorDict, optional) – if auto_reset is False, an initial tensordict must be provided. Rollout will check if this tensordict has done flags and reset the environment in those dimensions (if needed). This normally should not occur if tensordict is the output of a reset, but can occur if tensordict is the last step of a previous rollout. A tensordict can also be provided when auto_reset=True if metadata need to be passed to the reset method, such as a batch-size or a device for stateless environments.
set_truncated (bool, optional) – if True, "truncated" and "done" keys will be set to True after completion of the rollout. If no "truncated" is found within the done_spec, an exception is raised. Truncated keys can be set through env.add_truncated_keys. Defaults to False.
trust_policy (bool, optional) – if True, a non-TensorDictModule policy will be trusted to be assumed to be compatible with the collector. This defaults to True for CudaGraphModules and False otherwise.

Returns:

TensorDict object containing the resulting trajectory.

The data returned will be marked with a “time” dimension name for the last dimension of the tensordict (at the env.ndim index).

rollout is quite handy to display what the data structure of the environment looks like.

Using a policy (a regular Module or a TensorDictModule) is also easy:

>>> from torch import nn
>>> env = GymEnv("CartPole-v1", categorical_action_encoding=True)
>>> class ArgMaxModule(nn.Module):
...     def forward(self, values):
...         return values.argmax(-1)
>>> n_obs = env.observation_spec["observation"].shape[-1]
>>> n_act = env.action_spec.n
>>> # A deterministic policy
>>> policy = nn.Sequential(
...     nn.Linear(n_obs, n_act),
...     ArgMaxModule())
>>> env.rollout(max_steps=10, policy=policy)

>>> from tensordict.nn import TensorDictModule
>>> policy = TensorDictModule(policy, in_keys=list(env.observation_spec.keys()), out_keys=["action"])
>>> env.rollout(max_steps=10, policy=policy)
TensorDict(
    fields={
        action: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([10]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.int64, is_shared=False),
        done: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([10, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.bool, is_shared=False),
        next: TensorDict(

    batch_size=torch.Size([10]),
    device=cpu,
    is_shared=False)

In some instances, contiguous tensordict cannot be obtained because they cannot be stacked. This can happen when the data returned at each step may have a different shape, or when different environments are executed together. In that case, return_contiguous=False will cause the returned tensordict to be a lazy stack of tensordicts:

Examples of non-contiguous rollout:

>>> rollout = env.rollout(4, return_contiguous=False)
>>> print(rollout)
LazyStackedTensorDict(
    fields={
        action: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3, 4, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, is_shared=False),
        done: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3, 4, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.bool, is_shared=False),
        next: LazyStackedTensorDict(
            fields={
                done: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3, 4, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.bool, is_shared=False),
                observation: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3, 4, 3]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, is_shared=False),
                reward: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3, 4, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, is_shared=False),
                step_count: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3, 4, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.int64, is_shared=False),
                truncated: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3, 4, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.bool, is_shared=False)},
            batch_size=torch.Size([3, 4]),
            device=cpu,
            is_shared=False),
        observation: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3, 4, 3]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, is_shared=False),
        step_count: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([3, 4, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.int64, is_shared=False),

    >>> print(rollout.names)

Rollouts can be used in a loop to emulate data collection. To do so, you need to pass as input the last tensordict coming from the previous rollout after calling step_mdp() on it.

Examples of data collection rollouts:

>>> from torchrl.envs import GymEnv, step_mdp
>>> env = GymEnv("CartPole-v1")
>>> epochs = 10
>>> input_td = env.reset()
>>> for i in range(epochs):
...     rollout_td = env.rollout(
...         max_steps=100,
...         break_when_any_done=False,
...         auto_reset=False,
...         tensordict=input_td,
...     )
...     input_td = step_mdp(
...         rollout_td[..., -1],
...     )

set_extra_state(state: Any) → None¶

Set extra state contained in the loaded state_dict.

This function is called from load_state_dict() to handle any extra state found within the state_dict. Implement this function and a corresponding get_extra_state() for your module if you need to store extra state within its state_dict.

Parameters:: state (dict) – Extra state from the state_dict

set_seed(seed: Optional[int] = None, static_seed: bool = False) → Optional[int]¶

Sets the seed of the environment and returns the next seed to be used (which is the input seed if a single environment is present).

Parameters:

seed (int) – seed to be set. The seed is set only locally in the environment. To handle the global seed, see manual_seed().
static_seed (bool, optional) – if True, the seed is not incremented. Defaults to False

Returns:

i.e. the seed that should be used for another environment if created concomitantly to this environment.

Return type:

integer representing the “next seed”

set_submodule(target: str, module: Module) → None¶

Set the submodule given by target if it exists, otherwise throw an error.

For example, let’s say you have an nn.Module A that looks like this:

A(
    (net_b): Module(
        (net_c): Module(
            (conv): Conv2d(16, 33, kernel_size=(3, 3), stride=(2, 2))
        )
        (linear): Linear(in_features=100, out_features=200, bias=True)
    )
)

(The diagram shows an nn.Module A. A has a nested submodule net_b, which itself has two submodules net_c and linear. net_c then has a submodule conv.)

To overide the Conv2d with a new submodule Linear, you would call set_submodule("net_b.net_c.conv", nn.Linear(33, 16)).

Parameters:

target – The fully-qualified string name of the submodule to look for. (See above example for how to specify a fully-qualified string.)
module – The module to set the submodule to.

Raises:

ValueError – If the target string is empty
AttributeError – If the target string references an invalid path or resolves to something that is not an nn.Module

property shape¶: Equivalent to batch_size.

share_memory() → T¶: See torch.Tensor.share_memory_().

property single_action_spec: TensorSpec¶: Returns the action spec of the env as if it had no batch dimensions.

property single_done_spec: TensorSpec¶: Returns the done spec of the env as if it had no batch dimensions.

property single_full_action_spec: Composite¶: Returns the action spec of the env as if it had no batch dimensions.

property single_full_done_spec: Composite¶: Returns the done spec of the env as if it had no batch dimensions.

property single_full_observation_spec: Composite¶: Returns the observation spec of the env as if it had no batch dimensions.

property single_full_reward_spec: Composite¶: Returns the reward spec of the env as if it had no batch dimensions.

property single_full_state_spec: Composite¶: Returns the state spec of the env as if it had no batch dimensions.

property single_input_spec: Composite¶: Returns the input spec of the env as if it had no batch dimensions.

property single_observation_spec: Composite¶: Returns the observation spec of the env as if it had no batch dimensions.

property single_output_spec: Composite¶: Returns the output spec of the env as if it had no batch dimensions.

property single_reward_spec: TensorSpec¶: Returns the reward spec of the env as if it had no batch dimensions.

property single_state_spec: TensorSpec¶: Returns the state spec of the env as if it had no batch dimensions.

property specs: Composite¶

Returns a Composite container where all the environment are present.

This feature allows one to create an environment, retrieve all of the specs in a single data container and then erase the environment from the workspace.

state_dict(*args, destination=None, prefix='', keep_vars=False)¶

Return a dictionary containing references to the whole state of the module.

Both parameters and persistent buffers (e.g. running averages) are included. Keys are corresponding parameter and buffer names. Parameters and buffers set to None are not included.

Note

The returned object is a shallow copy. It contains references to the module’s parameters and buffers.

Warning

Currently state_dict() also accepts positional arguments for destination, prefix and keep_vars in order. However, this is being deprecated and keyword arguments will be enforced in future releases.

Warning

Please avoid the use of argument destination as it is not designed for end-users.

Parameters:

destination (dict, optional) – If provided, the state of module will be updated into the dict and the same object is returned. Otherwise, an OrderedDict will be created and returned. Default: None.
prefix (str, optional) – a prefix added to parameter and buffer names to compose the keys in state_dict. Default: ''.
keep_vars (bool, optional) – by default the Tensor s returned in the state dict are detached from autograd. If it’s set to True, detaching will not be performed. Default: False.

Returns:

a dictionary containing a whole state of the module

Return type:

dict

Example:

>>> # xdoctest: +SKIP("undefined vars")
>>> module.state_dict().keys()
['bias', 'weight']

property state_keys: List[NestedKey]¶

The state keys of an environment.

By default, there will only be one key named “state”.

Keys are sorted by depth in the data tree.

property state_spec: Composite¶

State spec.

Must be a torchrl.data.Composite instance. The keys listed here should be provided as input alongside actions to the environment.

In TorchRL, even though they are not properly speaking “state” all inputs to the environment that are not actions are stored in the state_spec.

Therefore, "state_spec" should be thought as a generic data container for environment inputs that are not action data.

Examples

>>> from torchrl.envs import BraxEnv
>>> for envname in BraxEnv.available_envs:
...     break
>>> env = BraxEnv(envname)
>>> env.state_spec
Composite(
    state: Composite(
        pipeline_state: Composite(
            q: UnboundedContinuous(
                shape=torch.Size([15]),
                space=None,
                device=cpu,
                dtype=torch.float32,
                domain=continuous),
    [...], device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([])), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([])), device=cpu, shape=torch.Size([]))

step(tensordict: TensorDictBase) → TensorDictBase¶

Makes a step in the environment.

Step accepts a single argument, tensordict, which usually carries an ‘action’ key which indicates the action to be taken. Step will call an out-place private method, _step, which is the method to be re-written by EnvBase subclasses.

Parameters:: tensordict (TensorDictBase) – Tensordict containing the action to be taken. If the input tensordict contains a "next" entry, the values contained in it will prevail over the newly computed values. This gives a mechanism to override the underlying computations.
Returns:: the input tensordict, modified in place with the resulting observations, done state and reward (+ others if needed).

step_and_maybe_reset(tensordict: TensorDictBase) → Tuple[TensorDictBase, TensorDictBase]¶

Runs a step in the environment and (partially) resets it if needed.

Parameters:: tensordict (TensorDictBase) – an input data structure for the step() method.

This method allows to easily code non-stopping rollout functions.

Examples

>>> from torchrl.envs import ParallelEnv, GymEnv
>>> def rollout(env, n):
...     data_ = env.reset()
...     result = []
...     for i in range(n):
...         data, data_ = env.step_and_maybe_reset(data_)
...         result.append(data)
...     return torch.stack(result)
>>> env = ParallelEnv(2, lambda: GymEnv("CartPole-v1"))
>>> print(rollout(env, 2))
TensorDict(
    fields={
        done: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([2, 2, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.bool, is_shared=False),
        next: TensorDict(
            fields={
                done: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([2, 2, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.bool, is_shared=False),
                observation: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([2, 2, 4]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, is_shared=False),
                reward: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([2, 2, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, is_shared=False),
                terminated: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([2, 2, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.bool, is_shared=False),
                truncated: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([2, 2, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.bool, is_shared=False)},
            batch_size=torch.Size([2, 2]),
            device=cpu,
            is_shared=False),
        observation: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([2, 2, 4]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.float32, is_shared=False),
        terminated: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([2, 2, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.bool, is_shared=False),
        truncated: Tensor(shape=torch.Size([2, 2, 1]), device=cpu, dtype=torch.bool, is_shared=False)},
    batch_size=torch.Size([2, 2]),
    device=cpu,
    is_shared=False)

to(device: Union[device, str, int]) → EnvBase¶

Move and/or cast the parameters and buffers.

This can be called as

to(device=None, dtype=None, non_blocking=False)

to(dtype, non_blocking=False)

to(tensor, non_blocking=False)

to(memory_format=torch.channels_last)

Its signature is similar to torch.Tensor.to(), but only accepts floating point or complex dtypes. In addition, this method will only cast the floating point or complex parameters and buffers to dtype (if given). The integral parameters and buffers will be moved device, if that is given, but with dtypes unchanged. When non_blocking is set, it tries to convert/move asynchronously with respect to the host if possible, e.g., moving CPU Tensors with pinned memory to CUDA devices.

See below for examples.

Note

This method modifies the module in-place.

Parameters:

device (torch.device) – the desired device of the parameters and buffers in this module
dtype (torch.dtype) – the desired floating point or complex dtype of the parameters and buffers in this module
tensor (torch.Tensor) – Tensor whose dtype and device are the desired dtype and device for all parameters and buffers in this module
memory_format (torch.memory_format) – the desired memory format for 4D parameters and buffers in this module (keyword only argument)

Returns:

self

Return type:

to_empty(*, device: Optional[Union[int, str, device]], recurse: bool = True) → T¶

Move the parameters and buffers to the specified device without copying storage.

Parameters:

device (torch.device) – The desired device of the parameters and buffers in this module.
recurse (bool) – Whether parameters and buffers of submodules should be recursively moved to the specified device.

Returns:

self

Return type:

Module

train(mode: bool = True) → T¶

Set the module in training mode.

This has any effect only on certain modules. See documentations of particular modules for details of their behaviors in training/evaluation mode, if they are affected, e.g. Dropout, BatchNorm, etc.

Parameters:: mode (bool) – whether to set training mode (True) or evaluation mode (False). Default: True.
Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

type(dst_type: Union[dtype, str]) → T¶

Casts all parameters and buffers to dst_type.

Note

This method modifies the module in-place.

Parameters:: dst_type (type or string) – the desired type
Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

xpu(device: Optional[Union[int, device]] = None) → T¶

Move all model parameters and buffers to the XPU.

This also makes associated parameters and buffers different objects. So it should be called before constructing optimizer if the module will live on XPU while being optimized.

Note

This method modifies the module in-place.

Parameters:: device (int, optional) – if specified, all parameters will be copied to that device
Returns:: self
Return type:: Module

zero_grad(set_to_none: bool = True) → None¶

Reset gradients of all model parameters.

See similar function under torch.optim.Optimizer for more context.

Parameters:: set_to_none (bool) – instead of setting to zero, set the grads to None. See torch.optim.Optimizer.zero_grad() for details.
