|
|
This library provides multiple tensor implementations hidden behind an easy to use API that supports reverse mode automatic differentiation.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Flexible ✨
|
|
- CPU + GPU 🙏
|
|
- Multi-Threads 🚀
|
|
- Intuitive Usage 😌
|
|
- No Global State 🚫
|
|
- Multiple Backends 🦾
|
|
- Reverse Mode Autodiff 🔥
|
|
|
|
### Backends
|
|
|
|
For now, three backends are implemented, and some more are planned.
|
|
|
|
- [x] Pytorch using [tch-rs](https://github.com/LaurentMazare/tch-rs)
|
|
- [x] 100% Rust backend using [ndarray](https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray)
|
|
- [x] [WGPU](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu) backend
|
|
- [ ] [Candle](https://github.com/huggingface/candle) backend
|
|
- [ ] Tensorflow using [tensorflow-rust](https://github.com/tensorflow/rust)
|
|
- [ ] CuDNN using RustCUDA[tensorflow-rust](https://github.com/Rust-GPU/Rust-CUDA)
|
|
- [ ] ...
|
|
|
|
### Autodiff
|
|
|
|
Automatic differentiation is implemented as just another tensor backend without any global state.
|
|
It's possible since we keep track of the order in which each operation as been executed and the tape is only created when calculating the gradients.
|
|
To do so, each operation creates a new node which has a reference to its parent nodes.
|
|
Therefore, creating the tape only requires a simple and efficient graph traversal algorithm.
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
let x = AutodiffTensor::from_tensor(x_ndarray);
|
|
let y = ADtodiffTensor::from_tensor(y_ndarray);
|
|
|
|
let z = x.matmul(&y);
|
|
|
|
let grads = z.backward();
|
|
|
|
let x_grad = x.grad(&grads);
|
|
let y_grad = y.grad(&grads);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Cuda
|
|
|
|
To run with CUDA set `TORCH_CUDA_VERSION=cu113`.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
This crate can be used alone without the entire burn stack and with only selected backends for smaller binaries.
|
|
|
|
## Feature Flags
|
|
|
|
This crate can be used without the standard library (`#![no_std]`) with `alloc` by disabling
|
|
the default `std` feature.
|
|
|
|
- `std` - enables the standard library.
|
|
- `burn-tensor-testgen` - enables test macros for generating tensor tests.
