PyTorch/XLA

Current CI status: GitHub Actions status

PyTorch/XLA is a Python package that uses the XLA deep learning compiler to connect the PyTorch deep learning framework and Cloud TPUs. You can try it right now, for free, on a single Cloud TPU VM with Kaggle!

Take a look at one of our Kaggle notebooks to get started:

Getting Started

PyTorch/XLA is now on PyPI!

To install PyTorch/XLA a new TPU VM:

pip install torch~=2.2.0 torch_xla[tpu]~=2.2.0 -f https://storage.googleapis.com/libtpu-releases/index.html

To update your existing training loop, make the following changes:

-import torch.multiprocessing as mp
+import torch_xla.core.xla_model as xm
+import torch_xla.distributed.parallel_loader as pl
+import torch_xla.distributed.xla_multiprocessing as xmp

 def _mp_fn(index):
   ...

+  # Move the model paramters to your XLA device
+  model.to(xm.xla_device())
+
+  # MpDeviceLoader preloads data to the XLA device
+  xla_train_loader = pl.MpDeviceLoader(train_loader, xm.xla_device())

-  for inputs, labels in train_loader:
+  for inputs, labels in xla_train_loader:
     optimizer.zero_grad()
     outputs = model(inputs)
     loss = loss_fn(outputs, labels)
     loss.backward()
-    optimizer.step()
+
+    # `xm.optimizer_step` combines gradients across replicas
+    xm.optimizer_step()

 if __name__ == '__main__':
-  mp.spawn(_mp_fn, args=(), nprocs=world_size)
+  # xmp.spawn automatically selects the correct world size
+  xmp.spawn(_mp_fn, args=())

If you're using DistributedDataParallel, make the following changes:

 import torch.distributed as dist
-import torch.multiprocessing as mp
+import torch_xla.core.xla_model as xm
+import torch_xla.distributed.parallel_loader as pl
+import torch_xla.distributed.xla_multiprocessing as xmp
+import torch_xla.distributed.xla_backend

 def _mp_fn(rank):
   ...

-  os.environ['MASTER_ADDR'] = 'localhost'
-  os.environ['MASTER_PORT'] = '12355'
-  dist.init_process_group("gloo", rank=rank, world_size=world_size)
+  # Rank and world size are inferred from the XLA device runtime
+  dist.init_process_group("xla", init_method='xla://')
+
+  model.to(xm.xla_device())
+  # `gradient_as_bucket_view=True` required for XLA
+  ddp_model = DDP(model, gradient_as_bucket_view=True)

-  model = model.to(rank)
-  ddp_model = DDP(model, device_ids=[rank])
+  xla_train_loader = pl.MpDeviceLoader(train_loader, xm.xla_device())

-  for inputs, labels in train_loader:
+  for inputs, labels in xla_train_loader:
     optimizer.zero_grad()
     outputs = ddp_model(inputs)
     loss = loss_fn(outputs, labels)
     loss.backward()
     optimizer.step()

 if __name__ == '__main__':
-  mp.spawn(_mp_fn, args=(), nprocs=world_size)
+  xmp.spawn(_mp_fn, args=())

Additional information on PyTorch/XLA, including a description of its semantics and functions, is available at PyTorch.org. See the API Guide for best practices when writing networks that run on XLA devices (TPU, CUDA, CPU and...).

Our comprehensive user guides are available at:

Python packages

PyTorch/XLA releases starting with version r2.1 will be available on PyPI. You can now install the main build with pip install torch_xla. To also install the Cloud TPU plugin, install the optional tpu dependencies:

pip install torch_xla[tpu] -f https://storage.googleapis.com/libtpu-releases/index.html

GPU, XRT (legacy runtime), and nightly builds are available in our public GCS bucket.
