TorchScript model与eager model的性能区别-德赢Vwin官网网

JIT Trace

torch.jit.trace使用eager model和一个dummy input作为输入，tracer会根据提供的model和input记录数据在模型中的流动过程，然后将整个模型转换为TorchScript module。看一个具体的例子：

我们使用BERT（Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers）作为例子。

from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertModel
import numpy as np
import torch
from time import perf_counter


def timer(f,*args):   


    start = perf_counter()
    f(*args)
    return (1000 * (perf_counter() - start))


# 加载bert model
native_model = BertModel.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
# huggingface的API中，使用torchscript=True参数可以直接加载TorchScript model
script_model = BertModel.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased", torchscript=True)


script_tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased', torchscript=True)






# Tokenizing input text
text = "[CLS] Who was Jim Henson ? [SEP] Jim Henson was a puppeteer [SEP]"
tokenized_text = script_tokenizer.tokenize(text)


# Masking one of the input tokens
masked_index = 8


tokenized_text[masked_index] = '[MASK]'


indexed_tokens = script_tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids(tokenized_text)


segments_ids = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]


# Creating a dummy input
tokens_tensor = torch.tensor([indexed_tokens])
segments_tensors = torch.tensor([segments_ids])

然后分别在CPU和GPU上测试eager mode的pytorch推理速度。

# 在CPU上测试eager model推理性能
native_model.eval()
np.mean([timer(native_model,tokens_tensor,segments_tensors) for _ in range(100)])


# 在GPU上测试eager model推理性能
native_model = native_model.cuda()
native_model.eval()
tokens_tensor_gpu = tokens_tensor.cuda()
segments_tensors_gpu = segments_tensors.cuda()
np.mean([timer(native_model,tokens_tensor_gpu,segments_tensors_gpu) for _ in range(100)])

再分别在CPU和GPU上测试script mode的TorchScript模型的推理速度

# 在CPU上测试TorchScript性能
traced_model = torch.jit.trace(script_model, [tokens_tensor, segments_tensors])
# 因模型的trace时，已经包含了.eval()的行为，因此不必再去显式调用model.eval()
np.mean([timer(traced_model,tokens_tensor,segments_tensors) for _ in range(100)])


# 在GPU上测试TorchScript的性能

最终运行结果如表

我使用的硬件规格是google colab，cpu是Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU @ 2.00GHz，GPU是Tesla T4。

从结果来看，在CPU上，TorchScript比pytorch eager快了3.5%，在GPU上，TorchScript比pytorch快了55.6%。

然后我们再用ResNet做一个测试。

import torchvision
import torch
from time import perf_counter
import numpy as np


def timer(f,*args):   
    start = perf_counter()
    f(*args)
    return (1000 * (perf_counter() - start))


# Pytorch cpu version


model_ft = torchvision.models.resnet18(pretrained=True)
model_ft.eval()
x_ft = torch.rand(1,3, 224,224)
print(f'pytorch cpu: {np.mean([timer(model_ft,x_ft) for _ in range(10)])}')


# Pytorch gpu version


model_ft_gpu = torchvision.models.resnet18(pretrained=True).cuda()
x_ft_gpu = x_ft.cuda()
model_ft_gpu.eval()
print(f'pytorch gpu: {np.mean([timer(model_ft_gpu,x_ft_gpu) for _ in range(10)])}')


# TorchScript cpu version


script_cell = torch.jit.script(model_ft, (x_ft))
print(f'torchscript cpu: {np.mean([timer(script_cell,x_ft) for _ in range(10)])}')


# TorchScript gpu version


script_cell_gpu = torch.jit.script(model_ft_gpu, (x_ft_gpu))
print(f'torchscript gpu: {np.mean([timer(script_cell_gpu,x_ft.cuda()) for _ in range(100)])}')
