torch-directml 0.1.13.1.dev230119

A DirectML backend for hardware acceleration in PyTorch.

PyTorch with DirectML

DirectML acceleration for PyTorch is currently available for Public Preview. PyTorch with DirectML enables training and inference of complex machine learning models on a wide range of DirectX 12-compatible hardware.

DirectML is a high-performance, hardware-accelerated DirectX 12 library for machine learning. DirectML provides GPU acceleration for common machine learning tasks across a broad range of supported hardware and drivers, including all DirectX 12-capable GPUs from vendors such as AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm.

More information about DirectML can be found in Introduction to DirectML.

PyTorch on DirectML is supported on both the latest versions of Windows 10 and the Windows Subsystem for Linux, and is available for download as a PyPI package. For more information about getting started, see GPU accelerated ML training (docs.microsoft.com)

Workflow

Developers will work on release branches daily and RI to main branch as needed.

• main branch builds with the nightly-built pytorch conda install pytorch torchvision cpuonly -c pytorch-nightly
• release branches build with the corresponding published pytorch
  • both release/1.13 and release/1.13+ build with pytorch 1.13.
  • coming release/1.13.1 should build with pytorch 1.13.1

Motivations why in this pattern.

1. Avoid pushing identical changes twice into release and main.
2. Avoid to be blocked by broken changes from pytorch master.

Examples of cutting branches:

1. A new branch for pytorch-1.13 (e.g. [release/1.13+2]) will be cut from the last released branch release/1.13+ for new releases, and developers will stay on the new branch daily until that release is published.

2. For new pytorch version 1.13.1, release/1.13.1 should be cut from main after all release workloads are RIed.
