torchprof

PyPI version CircleCI

Attention! This library is deprecated due to the PyTorch 1.9 changes to the torch profiler. Please use the official profiler. Thank you!

A minimal dependency library for layer-by-layer profiling of PyTorch models.

All metrics are derived using the PyTorch autograd profiler.

Quickstart

pip install torchprof

import torch
import torchvision
import torchprof

model = torchvision.models.alexnet(pretrained=False).cuda()
x = torch.rand([1, 3, 224, 224]).cuda()

# `profile_memory` was added in PyTorch 1.6, this will output a runtime warning if unsupported.
with torchprof.Profile(model, use_cuda=True, profile_memory=True) as prof:
    model(x)

# equivalent to `print(prof)` and `print(prof.display())`
print(prof.display(show_events=False))
