For some matrices on my batch I'm having an exception due the matrix being singular.
L = th.cholesky(Xt.bmm(X))
cholesky_cpu: For batch 51100: U(22,22) is zero, singular U
Since they are few for my use case I would like to ignore the exception and further deal with them. I will set the resulting calculation as nan is it possible somehow?
Actually if I catch the exception and use continue still it doesn’t finish the calculation of the rest of the batch.
The same happens in C++ with Pytorch libtorch.
When performing cholesky decomposition PyTorch relies on LAPACK for CPU tensors and MAGMA for CUDA tensors. In the PyTorch code used to call LAPACK the batch is just iterated over, invoking LAPACK's zpotrs_ function on each matrix separately. In the PyTorch code used to call MAGMA the entire batch is processed using MAGMA's magma_dpotrs_batched which is probably faster than iterating over each matrix separately.
AFAIK there's no way to indicate to MAGMA or LAPACK to not raise exceptions (though to be fair, I'm not an expert on these packages). Since MAGMA may be exploiting batches in some way we may not want to just default to an iterative approach, since we are potentially losing performance by not performing the batched cholesky.
One potential solution is to first try and perform batched cholesky decomposition, if it fails then we could perform cholesky decomposition on each element in the batch, setting the entries that fail to NaN.
def cholesky_no_except(x, upper=False, force_iterative=False):
success = False
if not force_iterative:
try:
results = torch.cholesky(x, upper=upper)
success = True
except RuntimeError:
pass
if not success:
# fall back to operating on each element separately
results_list = []
x_batched = x.reshape(-1, x.shape[-2], x.shape[-1])
for batch_idx in range(x_batched.shape[0]):
try:
result = torch.cholesky(x_batched[batch_idx, :, :], upper=upper)
except RuntimeError:
# may want to only accept certain RuntimeErrors add a check here if that's the case
# on failure create a "nan" matrix
result = float('nan') + torch.empty(x.shape[-2], x.shape[-1], device=x.device, dtype=x.dtype)
results_list.append(result)
results = torch.cat(results_list, dim=0).reshape(*x.shape)
return results
If you expect exceptions to be common during cholesky decomposition you may want use force_iterative=True to skip the initial call which tries to use the batched version, since in that case this function would likely just be wasting time with the first attempt.
I don't know how this compares speed-wise to the other solutions posted, but it may be faster.
First use torch.det to determine if there are any singular matrices in your batch. Then mask out those matrices.
output = Xt.bmm(X)
dets = torch.det(output)
# if output is of shape (bs, x, y), dets will be of shape (bs)
bad_idxs = dets==0 #might want an allclose here
output[bad_idxs] = 1. # fill singular matrices with 1s
L = torch.cholesky(output)
After you probably need to deal with the singular matrices you filled in with 1s, but you have their index values so it's easy to grab them or exclude them.
It's not possible to catch the exception according to Pytorch Discuss forum.
The solution, unfortunately, was to implement my own simple batched cholesky (th.cholesky(..., upper=False)) and then deal with Nan values using th.isnan.
import torch as th
# nograd cholesky
def cholesky(A):
L = th.zeros_like(A)
for i in range(A.shape[-1]):
for j in range(i+1):
s = 0.0
for k in range(j):
s = s + L[...,i,k] * L[...,j,k]
L[...,i,j] = th.sqrt(A[...,i,i] - s) if (i == j) else \
(1.0 / L[...,j,j] * (A[...,i,j] - s))
return L

I want to find the symmetry group of an integer linear program. I think there is a function in skip called SCIPgetGeneratorsSymmetry . I how I can use this function?
You are right, to access symmetry information in SCIP, you have to call the function SCIPgetGeneratorsSymmetry() via C/C++. Note that you need to link SCIP against the external software bliss, because otherwise, SCIP is not able to compute symmetries of your (mixed-integer) linear program.
If you set up your (mixed-integer) linear program using a C/C++ project, you have several options for computing symmetries.
If you set the "recompute" parameter to FALSE, SCIP will return the currently available symmetry information - if symmetries have not been computed yet, SCIP will compute symmetries to give you access to this information.
If you set "recompute" to TRUE, SCIP will discard the available symmetry information and you get access to the generators of the current symmetry group. Moreover, you can control the kind of symmetries that are computed via the parameters "symspecrequire" and "symspecrequirefixed", e.g., to only compute symmetries of binary variables that fix continuous variables.
Edit:
If you have no experience with coding in C/C++ and you are only interested in printing the generators of the symmetry group, the easiest way is probably to modify SCIP's source code in presol_symmetry.c as follows:
Add two integer paramaters int i and int p at the very beginning of determineSymmetry().
Search within determineSymmetry() for the line in which computeSymmetryGroup() is called.
Add the following code snippet right after this function call:
for (p = 0; p < presoldata->nperms; ++p)
{
printf("permutation %d\n", p);
for (i = 0; i < presoldata->npermvars; ++i)
{
if ( TRUE )
printf("%d ", presoldata->perms[p][i]);
else
printf("%s ", SCIPvarGetName(presoldata->permvars[presoldata->perms[p][i]]));
}
printf("\n");
}
This code prints the generators of the symmetry group as a list of variable indices, e.g., 1 2 0 is the permutation that maps 0 -> 1, 1 -> 2, and 2 -> 0. If you change TRUE to FALSE, you get the same list but variable indices are replaced by their names.
Do not forget to recompile SCIP.
If you solve an instance with SCIP and symmetry handling is enabled, SCIP will print the generators in the above format whenever it computes the symmetry group. If you are interested in the symmetry group of the original problem, you should use the parameter setting presolving/symbreak/addconsstiming = 0 and propagating/orbitalfixing/symcomptiming = 0. If you are fine with symmetries of the presolved problem, change the zeros to ones.
I am new to Python, coming from MATLAB, and long ago from C. I have written a script in MATLAB which simulates sediment transport in rivers as a Markov Process. The code randomly places circles of a random diameter within a rectangular area of a specified dimension. The circles are non-uniform is size, drawn randomly from a specified range of sizes. I do not know how many times I will step through the circle placement operation so I use a while loop to complete the process. In an attempt to be more community oriented, I am translating the MATLAB script to Python. I used the online tool OMPC to get started, and have been working through it manually from the auto-translated version (was not that helpful, which is not surprising). To debug the code as I go, I use the
MATLAB generated results to generally compare and contrast against results in Python. It seems clear to me that I have declared variables in a way that introduces problems as calculations proceed in the script. Here are two examples of consistent problems between different instances of code execution. First, the code generated what I think are arrays within arrays because the script is returning results which look like:
array([[ True]
[False]], dtype=bool)
This result was generated for the following code snippet at the overlap_logix operation:
CenterCoord_Array = np.asarray(CenterCoordinates)
Diameter_Array = np.asarray(Diameter)
dist_check = ((CenterCoord_Array[:,0] - x_Center) ** 2 + (CenterCoord_Array[:,1] - y_Center) ** 2) ** 0.5
radius_check = (Diameter_Array / 2) + radius
radius_check_update = np.reshape(radius_check,(len(radius_check),1))
radius_overlap = (radius_check_update >= dist_check)
# Now actually check the overalp condition.
if np.sum([radius_overlap]) == 0:
# The new circle does not overlap so proceed.
newCircle_Found = 1
debug_value = 2
elif np.sum([radius_overlap]) == 1:
# The new circle overlaps with one other circle
overlap = np.arange(0,len(radius_overlap), dtype=int)
overlap_update = np.reshape(overlap,(len(overlap),1))
overlap_logix = (radius_overlap == 1)
idx_true = overlap_update[overlap_logix]
radius = dist_check(idx_true,1) - (Diameter(idx_true,1) / 2)
A similar result for the same run was produced for variables:
radius_check_update
radius_overlap
overlap_update
Here is the same code snippet for the working MATLAB version (as requested):
distcheck = ((Circles.CenterCoordinates(1,:)-x_Center).^2 + (Circles.CenterCoordinates(2,:)-y_Center).^2).^0.5;
radius_check = (Circles.Diameter ./ 2) + radius;
radius_overlap = (radius_check >= distcheck);
% Now actually check the overalp condition.
if sum(radius_overlap) == 0
% The new circle does not overlap so proceed.
newCircle_Found = 1;
debug_value = 2;
elseif sum(radius_overlap) == 1
% The new circle overlaps with one other circle
temp = 1:size(radius_overlap,2);
idx_true = temp(radius_overlap == 1);
radius = distcheck(1,idx_true) - (Circles.Diameter(1,idx_true)/2);
In the Python version I have created arrays from lists to more easily operate on the contents (the first two lines of the code snippet). The array within array result and creating arrays to access data suggests to me that I have incorrectly declared variable types, but I am not sure. Furthermore, some variables have a size, for example, (2L,) (the numerical dimension will change as circles are placed) where there is no second dimension. This produces obvious problems when I try to use the array in an operation with another array with a size (2L,1L). Because of these problems I started reshaping arrays, and then I stopped because I decided these were hacks because I had declared one, or more than one variable incorrectly. Second, for the same run I encountered the following error:
TypeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object is not callable
for the operation:
radius = dist_check(idx_true,1) - (Diameter(idx_true,1) / 2)
which occurs at the bottom of the above code snippet. I have posted the entire script at the following link because it is probably more useful to execute the script for oneself:
https://github.com/smchartrand/MarkovProcess_Bedload
I have set-up the code to run with some initial parameter values so decisions do not need to be made; these parameter values produce the expected results in the MATLAB-based script, which look something like this when plotted:
So, I seem to specifically be having issues with operations on lines 151-165, depending on the test value np.sum([radius_overlap]) and I think it is because I incorrectly declared variable types, but I am really not sure. I can say with confidence that the Python version and the MATLAB version are consistent in output through the first step of the while loop, and code line 127 which is entering the second step of the while loop. Below this point in the code the above documented issues eventually cause the script to crash. Sometimes the script executes to 15% complete, and sometimes it does not make it to 5% - this is due to the random nature of circle placement. I am preparing the code in the Spyder (Python 2.7) IDE and will share the working code publicly as a part of my research. I would greatly appreciate any help that can be offered to identify my mistakes and misapplications of python coding practice.
I believe I have answered my own question, and maybe it will be of use for someone down the road. The main sources of instruction for me can be found at the following three web pages:
Stackoverflow Question 176011
SciPy FAQ
SciPy NumPy for Matlab users
The third web page was very helpful for me coming from MATLAB. Here is the modified and working python code snippet which relates to the original snippet provided above:
dist_check = ((CenterCoordinates[0,:] - x_Center) ** 2 + (CenterCoordinates[1,:] - y_Center) ** 2) ** 0.5
radius_check = (Diameter / 2) + radius
radius_overlap = (radius_check >= dist_check)
# Now actually check the overalp condition.
if np.sum([radius_overlap]) == 0:
# The new circle does not overlap so proceed.
newCircle_Found = 1
debug_value = 2
elif np.sum([radius_overlap]) == 1:
# The new circle overlaps with one other circle
overlap = np.arange(0,len(radius_overlap[0]), dtype=int).reshape(1, len(radius_overlap[0]))
overlap_logix = (radius_overlap == 1)
idx_true = overlap[overlap_logix]
radius = dist_check[idx_true] - (Diameter[0,idx_true] / 2)
In the end it was clear to me that it was more straightforward for this example to use numpy arrays vs. lists to store results for each iteration of filling the rectangular area. For the corrected code snippet this means I initialized the variables:
CenterCoordinates, and
Diameter
as numpy arrays whereas I initialized them as lists in the posted question. This made a few mathematical operations more straightforward. I was also incorrectly indexing into variables with parentheses () as opposed to the correct method using brackets []. Here is an example of a correction I made which helped the code execute as envisioned:
Incorrect: radius = dist_check(idx_true,1) - (Diameter(idx_true,1) / 2)
Correct: radius = dist_check[idx_true] - (Diameter[0,idx_true] / 2)
This example also shows that I had issues with array dimensions which I corrected variable by variable. I am still not sure if my working code is the most pythonic or most efficient way to fill a rectangular area in a random fashion, but I have tested it about 100 times with success. The revised and working code can be downloaded here:
Working Python Script to Randomly Fill Rectangular Area with Circles
Here is an image of a final results for a successful run of the working code:
The main lessons for me were (1) numpy arrays are more efficient for repetitive numerical calculations, and (2) dimensionality of arrays which I created were not always what I expected them to be and care must be practiced when establishing arrays. Thanks to those who looked at my question and asked for clarification.
I'd like to build and train a multi-layer LSTM model (stateIsTuple=True) in python, and then load and use it in C++. But I'm having a hard time figuring out how to feed and fetch states in C++, mainly because I don't have string names which I can reference.
E.g. I put the initial state in a named scope such as
with tf.name_scope('rnn_input_state'):
self.initial_state = cell.zero_state(args.batch_size, tf.float32)
and this appears in the graph as below, but how can I feed to these in C++?
Also, how can I fetch the current state in C++? I tried the graph construction code below in python but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do, because last_state should be a tuple of tensors, not a single tensor (though I can see that the last_state node in tensorboard is 2x2x50x128, which sounds like it just concatenated the states as I have 2 layers, 128 rnn size, 50 mini batch size, and lstm cell - with 2 state vectors).
with tf.name_scope('outputs'):
outputs, last_state = legacy_seq2seq.rnn_decoder(inputs, self.initial_state, cell, loop_function=loop if infer else None)
output = tf.reshape(tf.concat(outputs, 1), [-1, args.rnn_size], name='output')
and this is what it looks like in tensorboard
Should I concat and split the state tensors so there is only ever one state tensor going in and out? Or is there a better way?
P.S. Ideally the solution won't involve hard-coding the number of layers (or rnn size). So I can just have four strings input_node_name, output_node_name, input_state_name, output_state_name, and the rest is derived from there.
I managed to do this by manually concatenating the state into a single tensor. I'm not sure if this is wise, since this is how tensorflow used to handle states, but is now deprecating that and switching to tuple states. Instead of setting state_is_tuple=False and risking my code being obsolete soon, I've added extra ops to manually stack and unstack the states to and from a single tensor. Saying that, it works fine both in python and C++.
The key code is:
# setting up
zero_state = cell.zero_state(batch_size, tf.float32)
state_in = tf.identity(zero_state, name='state_in')
# based on https://medium.com/#erikhallstrm/using-the-tensorflow-multilayered-lstm-api-f6e7da7bbe40#.zhg4zwteg
state_per_layer_list = tf.unstack(state_in, axis=0)
state_in_tuple = tuple(
# TODO make this not hard-coded to LSTM
[tf.contrib.rnn.LSTMStateTuple(state_per_layer_list[idx][0], state_per_layer_list[idx][1])
for idx in range(num_layers)]
)
outputs, state_out_tuple = legacy_seq2seq.rnn_decoder(inputs, state_in_tuple, cell, loop_function=loop if infer else None)
state_out = tf.identity(state_out_tuple, name='state_out')
# running (training or inference)
state = sess.run('state_in:0') # zero state
loop:
feed = {'data_in:0': x, 'state_in:0': state}
[y, state] = sess.run(['data_out:0', 'state_out:0'], feed)

I'm trying to split up the minimize function over two machines. On one machine, I'm calling "compute_gradients", on another I call "apply_gradients" with gradients that were sent over the network. The issue is that calling apply_gradients(...).run(feed_dict) doesn't seem to work no matter what I do. I've tried inserting placeholders in place of the tensor gradients for apply_gradients,
variables = [W_conv1, b_conv1, W_conv2, b_conv2, W_fc1, b_fc1, W_fc2, b_fc2]
loss = -tf.reduce_sum(y_ * tf.log(y_conv))
optimizer = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(1e-4)
correct_prediction = tf.equal(tf.argmax(y_conv,1), tf.argmax(y_,1))
accuracy = tf.reduce_mean(tf.cast(correct_prediction, "float"))
compute_gradients = optimizer.compute_gradients(loss, variables)
placeholder_gradients = []
for grad_var in compute_gradients:
placeholder_gradients.append((tf.placeholder('float', shape=grad_var[1].get_shape()) ,grad_var[1]))
apply_gradients = optimizer.apply_gradients(placeholder_gradients)
then later when I receive the gradients I call
feed_dict = {}
for i, grad_var in enumerate(compute_gradients):
feed_dict[placeholder_gradients[i][0]] = tf.convert_to_tensor(gradients[i])
apply_gradients.run(feed_dict=feed_dict)
However, when I do this, I get
ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence.
This is only the latest thing I've tried, I've also tried the same solution without placeholders, as well as waiting to create the apply_gradients operation until I receive the gradients, which results in non-matching graph errors.
Any help on which direction I should go with this?
Assuming that each gradients[i] is a NumPy array that you've fetched using some out-of-band mechanism, the fix is simply to remove the tf.convert_to_tensor() invocation when building feed_dict:
feed_dict = {}
for i, grad_var in enumerate(compute_gradients):
feed_dict[placeholder_gradients[i][0]] = gradients[i]
apply_gradients.run(feed_dict=feed_dict)
Each value in a feed_dict should be a NumPy array (or some other object that is trivially convertible to a NumPy array). In particular, a tf.Tensor is not a valid value for a feed_dict.
Recently ,I use Cuda to write an algorithm called 'orthogonal matching pursuit' . In my ugly Cuda code the entire iteration takes 60 sec , and Eigen lib takes just 3 sec...
In my code Matrix A is [640,1024] and y is [640,1] , in each step I select some vectors from A to compose a new Matrix called A_temp [640,itera], iter=1:500 . I new a array MaxDex_Host[] in cpu to tell which column to select .
I want to get x_temp[itera,1] from A_temp*x_temp=y using least-square , I use a cula API 'culaDeviceSgels' and cublas matrix-vector multiplication API.
So the culaDeviceSgels would call 500 times , and I think this would be faster than Eigen lib's QR.Sovler .
I check the Nisight performence anlysis , I found the custreamdestory takes a long time . I initial cublas before iteration and destory it after I get the result . So I want to know the what is the custreamdestory , different with cublasdestory?
The main problem is memcpy and function 'gemm_kernel1x1val' . I think this function is from 'culaDeviceSgels'
while(itera<500): I use cublasSgemv and cublasIsamax to get MaxDex_Host[itera] , then
MaxDex_Host[itera]=pos;
itera++;
float* A_temp_cpu=new float[M*itera]; // matrix all in col-major
for (int j=0;j<itera;j++) // to get A_temp [M,itera] , the MaxDex_Host[] shows the positon of which column of A to chose ,
{
for (int i=0;i<M;i++) //M=640 , and A is 640*1024 ,itera is add 1 each step
{
A_temp_cpu[j*M+i]=A[MaxDex_Host[j]*M+i];
}
}
// I must allocate one more array because culaDeviceSgels will decompose the one input Array , and I want to use A_temp after least-square solving.
float* A_temp_gpu;
float* A_temp2_gpu;
cudaMalloc((void**)&A_temp_gpu,Size_float*M*itera);
cudaMalloc((void**)&A_temp2_gpu,Size_float*M*itera);
cudaMemcpy(A_temp_gpu,A_temp_cpu,Size_float*M*itera,cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
cudaMemcpy(A_temp2_gpu,A_temp_gpu,Size_float*M*itera,cudaMemcpyDeviceToDevice);
culaDeviceSgels('N',M,itera,1,A_temp_gpu,M,y_Gpu_temp,M);// the x_temp I want is in y_Gpu_temp's return value , stored in the y_Gpu_temp[0]——y_Gpu_temp[itera-1]
float* x_temp;
cudaMalloc((void**)&x_temp,Size_float*itera);
cudaMemcpy(x_temp,y_Gpu_temp,Size_float*itera,cudaMemcpyDeviceToDevice);
Cuda's memory manage seems too complex , is there any other convenience method to solve least-square?
I think that custreamdestory and gemm_kernel1x1val are internally called by the APIs you are using, so there is not much to do with them.
To improve your code, I would suggest to do the following.
You can get rid of A_temp_cpu by keeping a device copy of the matrix A. Then you can copy the rows of A into the rows of A_temp_gpu and A_temp2_gpu by a kernel assignment. This would avoid performing the first two cudaMemcpys.
You can preallocate A_temp_gpu and A_temp2_gpu outside the while loop by using the maximum possible value of itera instead of itera. This will avoid the first two cudaMallocs inside the loop. The same applies to x_temp.
As long as I know, culaDeviceSgels solves a linear system of equations. I think you can do the same also by using cuBLAS APIs only. For example, you can perform an LU factorization first by cublasDgetrfBatched() and then use cublasStrsv() two times to solve the two arising linear systems. You may wish to see if this solution leads to a faster algorithm.
