memmap-replay-buffer 0.1.6

Simple Replay Buffer for RL

memmap-replay-buffer

An easy-to-use numpy memmap replay buffer for RL and other sequence-based learning tasks.

Install

$ pip install memmap-replay-buffer

Usage

Supports trajectory-level, timestep-level, and n-step transition dataloading from a single stored buffer.

import torch
from memmap_replay_buffer import ReplayBuffer

# initialize buffer

buffer = ReplayBuffer(
    './replay_data',
    max_episodes = 1000,
    max_timesteps = 500,
    fields = dict(
        state = ('float', (3, 16, 16), 0.),    # type, shape, and optional default value
        action = ('int', 2),
        reward = 'float'                       # default shape is ()
    ),
    meta_fields = dict(
        task_id = 'int'
    ),
    circular = True,
    overwrite = True
)

# store 4 episodes

for _ in range(4):
    with buffer.one_episode(task_id = 1):
        for _ in range(100):
            buffer.store(
                state = torch.randn(3, 16, 16),
                action = torch.randint(0, 4, (2,)).numpy(),
                reward = 1.0
            )

# rehydrate from disk

buffer_rehydrated = ReplayBuffer.from_folder('./replay_data')
assert buffer_rehydrated.num_episodes == 4

Trajectory-level

Variable-length trajectories, automatically padded with mask and lengths.

dataloader = buffer.dataloader(
    batch_size = 2,
    return_mask = True,
    to_named_tuple = ('state', 'action', 'reward', 'task_id', '_mask', '_lens')
)

for state, action, reward, task_id, mask, lens in dataloader:
    assert state.shape   == (2, 100, 3, 16, 16)
    assert action.shape  == (2, 100, 2)
    assert reward.shape  == (2, 100)
    assert task_id.shape == (2,)

    assert lens.shape    == (2,)
    assert mask.shape    == (2, 100)

Timestep-level

Individual timesteps across episodes, with optional filter_meta for conditioning.

dataloader = buffer.dataloader(
    batch_size = 8,
    filter_meta = dict(
        task_id = 1
    ),
    to_named_tuple = ('state', 'action', 'task_id'),
    timestep_level = True,
    drop_last = True
)

for state, action, task_id in dataloader:
    assert state.shape   == (8, 3, 16, 16)
    assert action.shape  == (8, 2)
    assert task_id.shape == (8,)

N-step transitions

Fetches current_fields at $t$, next_fields at $t + n$ (prefixed next_), and sequence_fields from $t$ to $t + n$ (prefixed seq_, zero-padded at episode boundaries). Use fieldname_map to remap to your model's kwargs.

dataloader = buffer.dataloader(
    batch_size = 4,
    n_steps = 5,
    current_fields = ('state',),
    next_fields = ('state',),
    sequence_fields = ('action', 'reward'),
    to_named_tuple = ('state', 'next_state', 'action_chunk', 'rewards', 'n_step_lens'),
    fieldname_map = {
        'seq_action': 'action_chunk',
        'seq_reward': 'rewards'
    }
)

for state, next_state, action_chunk, rewards, n_step_lens in dataloader:
    assert state.shape == (4, 3, 16, 16)
    assert next_state.shape == (4, 3, 16, 16)
    assert action_chunk.shape == (4, 5, 2)
    assert rewards.shape == (4, 5)
    assert n_step_lens.shape == (4,)
