torch-flops 0.1.3

A library for calculating the FLOPs in the forward() process based on torch.fx

torch_flops

Introduction

torch_flops中文介绍 - 知乎

This is a library for calculating FLOPs of pytorch models. Compared with other libraries such as thop, ptflops, torchinfo and torchanalyse, the advantage of this library is that it can capture all calculation operations in the forward process, not limited to only the subclasses of nn.Module.

Usage

Installation

pip install torch_flops

Requirements

• python >= 3.10 (for new python features)
• pytorch >= 1.8 (for torch.fx support)
• tabulate (for printing the summary of operations)

Example 1

An expamle for calculating the FLOPs of ViT-base16 and ResNet-50 is given in example1.py. The example requires the timm library. You can calculate the FLOPs in three lines:

    flops_counter = TorchFLOPsByFX(resnet)
    flops_counter.propagate(x)
    total_flops = flops_counter.print_total_flops(show=True)

The output of example1.py is:

========== vit_base16 ==========
total_flops = 35,164,979,282 
========== resnet50 ==========
total_flops = 8,227,340,288

Example 2

Another example of calculating the FLOPs for an attention block is provided in example2.py. However, You can define a simple model to check the result (see compare.py).

C = 768

# Define the model: an attention block (refer to "timm": https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-image-models/blob/main/timm/models/vision_transformer.py)
block = Block(C, num_heads=2, qkv_bias=True)
block.attn.fused_attn = False
block.eval()
model = block

# Input
# N: number of tokens
N = 14**2 + 1
B = 1
x = torch.randn([B, N, C])

# Output
# Build the graph of the model. You can specify the operations (listed in `MODULE_FLOPs_MAPPING`, `FUNCTION_FLOPs_MAPPING` and `METHOD_FLOPs_MAPPING` in 'flops_ops.py') to ignore.
flops_counter = TorchFLOPsByFX(model)
# Print the grath (not essential)
print('*' * 120)
flops_counter.graph_model.graph.print_tabular()
# Feed the input tensor
flops_counter.propagate(x)
# Print the FLOPs of each node in the graph. Note that if there are unsupported operations, the "flops" of these ops will be marked as 'not recognized'.
print('*' * 120)
flops_counter.print_result_table()
# Print the total FLOPs
total_flops = flops_counter.print_total_flops()

You can also feed more than one sequential arguments for the model in propagate() if the model.forward() function need not only one arguments.

Advantage

torch_flops can capture all the operations excuted in the forward including the operations not wrapped by nn.Module, like torch.matmul, @, + and tensor.exp, and it can ignore the FLOPs of the modules not used in the forward process.

There is a comparison of torch_flops (this repo), torchanalyse, thop and ptflops in the script compare.py. The output of

python compare.py:

It can be seen that only torch_flops can capture the FLOPs of x+=1!

torchinfo is not compared here but it does not have this ability. We also find that some of the other libraries cannot calculate the FLOPs of the bias item in nn.Linear using python compare.py --linear_no_bias.

Supported Operations

The supported operations are listed in the following (the keys of the dicts), which can also be seen in flops_ops.py. Note that in addtion to the modules inherited from nn.Module (e.g. nn.Linear), the function (e.g. @, +, torch.softmax) and method operations (e.g. tensor.softmax) are also supported!

However, not all the operations in pytorch have been considered since it spends a lot of effort. If you need to add support for a certain operation, please raise an issue. You are also welcome to add more features to this repository.

Limitations

torch.fx can capture all the operations in the forward process, but it requires a high version of pytorch. However, we recommod you to use the newer version of pytorch (>=2.0) to try the new features.

When using torch.fx, the model should be able to successfully transformed into a graph_model by symbolic_trace(). Dynamic control flow is not supported in the forward function. Please refer to https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/fx.html#limitations-of-symbolic-tracing for more information.

There are many operations not implemented so far. However, you can raise an issue or contact me ([e-mail]) to add new operations.
