NNEngine
A high-performance, fully native C++ Neural Network engine exposed to Python via pybind11.
Designed for rapid experimentation without the Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) overhead, nn-engine-core executes the entire deep learning training loop strictly in native C++ using Eigen. It utilizes a zero-allocation flat-memory Autograd graph, AVX SIMD vectorization, and dynamically compiled OpenBLAS to achieve massive speedups over mainstream Python frameworks.
Highlights
- Dual Execution Modes: Train dynamic graphs using the
@nne.eagerdecorator for zero-allocation step-by-step execution, or compile static graphs withJITCompilerfor maximum throughput. - Dynamic Hardware Dispatch: Automatically detects your CPU at runtime to dispatch highly optimized AVX2 or AVX-512 instructions.
- CNN & Modern Layer Support: Built-in support for
Conv2dLayer,MaxPool2dLayer,AvgPool2dLayer,FlattenLayer,BatchNorm1dLayer,DropoutLayer, and Leaky ReLUs. - Zero-Allocation Autograd: Uses arena allocation (
Tape) and flat contiguous memory structs to dynamically build computational graphs without heap allocations.
Installation
Install the released wheel from PyPI:
pip install nn-engine-core
Quick Start: Building a CNN
import numpy as np
import nnengine as nne
X_train = np.random.rand(100, 1, 64, 64).astype(np.float32)
y_train = np.eye(40, dtype=np.float32)[np.random.choice(40, 100)]
class NNEngineDeepCNN(nne.Module):
def __init__(self, in_h, in_w, num_classes):
super().__init__()
self.conv1 = nne.Conv2dLayer(1, 16, in_h, in_w, kernel_size=5, stride=1, pad=2)
self.act1 = nne.LeakyReLULayer(0.01)
self.pool1 = nne.MaxPool2dLayer(16, in_h, in_w, kernel_size=2, stride=2, pad=0)
out_h1, out_w1 = in_h // 2, in_w // 2
self.conv2 = nne.Conv2dLayer(16, 32, out_h1, out_w1, kernel_size=3, stride=1, pad=1)
self.act2 = nne.LeakyReLULayer(0.01)
self.pool2 = nne.MaxPool2dLayer(32, out_h1, out_w1, kernel_size=2, stride=2, pad=0)
out_h2, out_w2 = out_h1 // 2, out_w1 // 2
self.flatten = nne.FlattenLayer()
self.fc = nne.DenseLayer(32 * out_h2 * out_w2, num_classes)
def forward(self, x):
x = self.pool1(self.act1(self.conv1(x)))
x = self.pool2(self.act2(self.conv2(x)))
x = self.flatten(x)
return self.fc(x)
model = NNEngineDeepCNN(64, 64, 40)
optimizer = nne.Adam(learning_rate=0.001)
optimizer.set_parameters(model.parameters())
loss_fn = nne.SoftmaxCrossEntropyLoss()
trainer = nne.JITCompiler(model, optimizer, loss_fn)
dataloader = nne.DataLoader(X_train, y_train, batch_size=32, shuffle=True, drop_last=True)
trainer.fit(dataloader, epochs=40, verbose=False)
trainer.save_checkpoint("faces_model")
