Training a model

# Run with the default config
python scripts/run_train.py
# Run with config changes
python scripts/run_train.py machine_config.num_gpus=1

Logging and profiling features

We provide many logging functionalities for timing and/or tracking losses during training. All of these loggers are configurable via configs/logging_configs.yml

1. Writer: Logs losses and generated images during training to a specified output stream. Specify the type of writer (Tensorboard, local directory, Weights and Biases), and how often to log in the config.

2. StatsTracker: Computes select statistics and prints to the terminal for local debugging. Specify the kinds of statistics to be logged, how often to log, and the maximum history buffer size in the config.

3. Profiler: Computes the average total time of execution for any function with the @profiler.time_function decorator. Prints out the full profile at the termination of training or the program.

Setting up Jupyter

python -m jupyter lab build
bash environments/run_jupyter.sh

Tooling

We use autoenv to make setting up the environment and environment variables easier. This will run the .envrc file upon entering the /path/to/mattport folder. It will also remove the set environment parameters upon leaving.

# Install direnv.
sudo apt install direnv

# Add the following line to the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file.
eval "$(direnv hook bash)"

# Populate your .envrc with commands you want to run. Then, run the following to allow updates.
cd /path/to/mattport
direnv allow .
