; 实验： 混合精度训练对比 (GTX 3090 VS TESLA V100-SXM2)

经常有小伙伴问我 TESLA V100 显存 16GB 比 GTX 3090 的 24GB 少了 8GB，价格还一样，为啥要用 V100 呢？

使用精度低于 32 位浮点数的数字格式有很多好处。首先，它们需要 更少的内存，从而能够训练和部署更大的神经网络。其次，它们需要 更少的内存带宽，从而加快数据传输操作。第三，数学运算在降低精度的情况下 运行得更快，尤其是在具有 Tensor Core 支持该精度的 GPU 上。混合精度训练实现了所有这些好处，同时确保与全精度训练相比不会丢失特定于任务的准确性。

使用混合精度训练需要以下两个步骤：

• 移植模型以使用 FP16 数据类型。
• 添加损失缩放以保留较小的梯度值。

下载数据集

!featurize dataset download 12d20991-7d1a-4722-bf42-b3933bf34689

以下两个包如果自己环境没有的同学请去掉注释运行

#!pip install nvidia-ml-py3 timm

import torch
import timm
import cv2
import os
import nvidia_smi
import random

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

from datetime import datetime

sns.set_theme(style="whitegrid")

df = pd.read_csv('/home/featurize/data/FMY/train.csv')
df.head(2)

定义 PyTorch 的 Dataset

class Dataset(torch.utils.data.Dataset):

    def __init__(self, df: pd.DataFrame):
        self.df = df

    def __getitem__(self, index: int):
        row = self.df.iloc[index]
        fn = row.image
        # 读取数据
        image = cv2.imread(os.path.join(row.path, fn))
        image = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

        # 统一数据尺寸
        image = cv2.resize(image, (384, 512), interpolation=cv2.INTER_LINEAR)
        image = image.transpose(2, 0, 1)

        label = np.array([row.label])

        return torch.from_numpy(image).float(), torch.from_numpy(label).float()

    def __len__(self):
        return len(self.df)

创建 PyTorch 的 Dataloader

train_dataset = Dataset(df)
train_dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
    train_dataset,
    batch_size=32,
    num_workers=8,
    shuffle=True,
    pin_memory=True
)

生成随机的样本看一看

image, label = train_dataset.__getitem__(random.randint(0, len(train_dataset)-1))
plt.imshow(image.int().permute(1, 2, 0));
print('Label:', label.int().item())

创建模型、优化器、损失函数

model = timm.create_model('tf_efficientnet_b0', num_classes=1).cuda()
optimizer = torch.optim.SGD(model.parameters(), lr=1e-3, momentum=0.9)
criterion = torch.nn.BCEWithLogitsLoss()

上面的这些都是为实验作 准备，选择的都是较小的 b0 模型和基础的损失函数，接下来的 4 个 Cell 分别对比了

• 混合精度

V100

• 单精度

所占用的 GPU 显存以及 计算速度。更重要的是让小伙伴了解 如何使用 PyTorch 半精度进行训练。
