class onnxruntime.training.ORTModule(module: Module, debug_options: Optional[DebugOptions] = None)[source]#

Bases: Module

Extends user’s torch.nn.Module model to leverage ONNX Runtime super fast training engine.

ORTModule specializes the user’s torch.nn.Module model, providing forward(), backward() along with all others torch.nn.Module’s APIs.

Parameters:

module (torch.nn.Module) – User’s PyTorch module that ORTModule specializes
debug_options (DebugOptions, optional) – debugging options for ORTModule.

Initialize internal Module state, shared by both nn.Module and ScriptModule.

forward(*inputs, **kwargs)[source]#

Delegate the forward() pass of PyTorch training to ONNX Runtime.

The first call to forward performs setup and checking steps. During this call, ORTModule determines whether the module can be trained with ONNX Runtime. For this reason, the first forward call execution takes longer than subsequent calls. Execution is interrupted if ONNX Runtime cannot process the model for training.

Parameters:

inputs – positional, variable positional inputs to the PyTorch module’s forward method.
kwargs – keyword and variable keyword arguments to the PyTorch module’s forward method.

Returns:

The output as expected from the forward method defined by the user’s PyTorch module. Output values supported include tensors, nested sequences of tensors and nested dictionaries of tensor values.

add_module(name: str, module: Optional[Module]) → None[source]#: Raises a ORTModuleTorchModelException exception since ORTModule does not support adding modules to it

property module#

The original torch.nn.Module that this module wraps.

This property provides access to methods and properties on the original module.

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

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

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

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.

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

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_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

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

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

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_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#

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#

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#

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#

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.

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

register_load_state_dict_post_hook(hook)#

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

register_state_dict_pre_hook(hook)#

These hooks will be called with arguments: self, prefix, and keep_vars before calling state_dict on self. 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

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

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

to(*args, **kwargs)#

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:
