此篇博文以AlexNet为网络架构(其需要输入的图像大小为227x227x3)，CIFAR10为数据集，Adamw为梯度下降函数，学习率机制为ReduceLROnPlateau举例。旨为如何让网络模型加速训练，而非去了解其原理。

题外话，我为什么要写这篇博客，就是因为我穷！没钱！租的服务器使用多GPU时一会钱就烧没了（gpu内存不用），急需要一种trick，来降低内存加速。

回到正题，如果我们使用的数据集较大，且网络较深，则会造成训练较慢，此时我们要想加速训练可以使用Pytorch的AMP（autocast与Gradscaler）；本文便是依据此写出的博文，对Pytorch的AMP(autocast与Gradscaler进行对比)自动混合精度对模型训练加速。

注意Pytorch1.6+，已经内置torch.cuda.amp，因此便不需要加载NVIDIA的apex库（半精度加速），为方便我们便不使用NVIDIA的apex库(安装麻烦)，转而使用torch.cuda.amp。

AMP (Automatic mixed precision): 自动混合精度，那什么是自动混合精度？

先来梳理一下历史：先有NVIDIA的apex，之后NVIDIA的开发人员将其贡献到Pytorch 1.6+产生了torch.cuda.amp[这是笔者梳理，可能有误，请留言]

详细讲：默认情况下，大多数深度学习框架都采用32位浮点算法进行训练。2017年，NVIDIA研究了一种用于混合精度训练的方法（apex），该方法在训练网络时将单精度（FP32）与半精度(FP16)结合在一起，并使用相同的超参数实现了与FP32几乎相同的精度，且速度比之前快了不少

之后，来到了AMP时代（特指torch.cuda.amp），此有两个关键词：自动与混合精度（Pytorch 1.6+中的torch.cuda.amp）其中，自动表现在Tensor的dtype类型会自动变化，框架按需自动调整tensor的dtype，可能有些地方需要手动干预；混合精度表现在采用不止一种精度的Tensor, torch.FloatTensor与torch.HalfTensor。并且从名字可以看出torch.cuda.amp，这个功能只能在cuda上使用！

为什么我们要使用AMP自动混合精度？

1.减少显存占用（FP16优势）

2.加快训练和推断的计算（FP16优势）

3.张量核心的普及（NVIDIA Tensor Core），低精度（FP16优势）

4. 混合精度训练缓解舍入误差问题，（FP16有此劣势，但是FP32可以避免此）

5.损失放大，可能使用混合精度还会出现无法收敛的问题[其原因时激活梯度值较小]，造成了溢出，则可以通过使用torch.cuda.amp.GradScaler放大损失来防止梯度的下溢

申明此篇博文主旨为如何让网络模型加速训练，而非去了解其原理，且其以AlexNet为网络架构(其需要输入的图像大小为227x227x3)，CIFAR10为数据集，Adamw为梯度下降函数，学习率机制为ReduceLROnPlateau举例。使用的电脑是2060的拯救者，虽然渣，但是还是可以搞搞这些测试。

本文从1.没使用DDP与DP训练与评估代码（之后加入amp），2.分布式DP训练与评估代码（之后加入amp），3.单进程占用多卡DDP训练与评估代码（之后加入amp）角度讲解。

eval_without.py 和 1.（1）一样

运行结果：

分析：

为什么，我们训练完20个epochs花费了27分27秒，比之前原模型未使用任何amp的时间（22分22秒）都多了？

这是因为我们使用了GradScaler放大了损失降低了模型训练的速度，还有个原因可能是笔者自身的显卡太小，没有起到加速的作用

(2)DP使用autocast的训练与评估源码：

训练源码:

如果你这样写代码，那么你的代码无效！！！

...
    model = Model()
    model = torch.nn.DataParallel(model)
    ...
    with autocast():
        output = model(imgs)
        loss = loss_fn(output)

正确写法，训练大致流程代码：

1.Model(nn.Module):
      @autocast()
      def forward(self, input):
      ...
 
2.Model(nn.Module):
      def foward(self, input):
          with autocast():
              ...

1与2皆可，之后：

...
model = Model()
model = torch.nn.DataParallel(model)
with autocast():
    output = model(imgs)
    loss = loss_fn(output)
...

模型：

须在forward函数上加入@autocast()或者在forward里面最上面加入with autocast():

运行结果：

分析：

可以看出DP使用autocast训练完20个epochs时需要花费的时间是21分21秒，相比与之前DP没有使用的时间(22分22秒)快了1分1秒

之前DP未使用amp能达到准确率0.8216，而现在准确率降低到0.8188，说明还是使用自动混合精度加速还是对模型的准确率有所影响，后期可通过增大batch_sizel让运行时间和之前一样，但是准确率上升，来降低此影响

eval_DP.py 相比与2. （1）导入自己的alexnet.py

运行结果：

分析：

跟之前一样，DP使用了GradScaler放大了损失降低了模型训练的速度

现在DP使用了autocast与GradScaler的准确率为0.8409，相比与DP只使用autocast准确率0.8188还是有所上升，并且之前DP未使用amp是准确率（0.8216）也提高了不少

运行结果：

分析：

从DDP未使用amp花费21分21秒，DDP使用autocast花费20分20秒，说明速度提升了

DDP未使用amp的准确率0.8224，之后DDP使用了autocast准确率下降到0.8162

(3)DDP使用autocast与GradScaler的训练与评估源码

训练源码：

评估源码：

eval_DDP.py 与3. (2) 一样，导入自己的alexnet.py

运行结果：

分析：

运行起来了，速度也比DDP未使用amp（用时21分21秒）快了不少（用时20分20秒），之前DDP未使用amp准确率到达0.8224，现在DDP使用了autocast与GradScaler的准确率达到0.8252，提升了
