could be used for mobile, edge and cloud scenarios. MindSpore is designed to
provide development experience with friendly design and efficient execution for
the data scientists and algorithmic engineers, native support for Ascend AI
processor, and software hardware co-optimization. At the meantime MindSpore as
a global AI open source community, aims to further advance the development and
enrichment of the AI software/hardware application ecosystem.For more details please check out ourArchitecture Guide.Automatic DifferentiationCurrently, there are two automatic differentiation techniques in mainstream deep learning frameworks:Operator Overloading (OO): Overloading the basic operators of the programming language to encapsulate their gradient rules. Record the operation trajectory of the network during forward execution in an operator overloaded manner, then apply the chain rule to the dynamically generated data flow graph to implement automatic differentiation.Source Transformation (ST): This technology is evolving from the functional programming framework and performs automatic differential transformation on the intermediate expression (the expression form of the program during the compilation process) in the form of just-in-time compilation (JIT), supporting complex control flow scenarios, higher-order functions and closures.PyTorch used OO. Compared to ST, OO generates gradient graph in runtime, so it does not need to take function call and control flow into consideration, which makes it easier to develop. However, OO can not perform gradient graph optimization in compilation time and the control flow has to be unfolded in runtime, so it is difficult to achieve extreme optimization in performance.MindSpore implemented automatic differentiation based on ST. On the one hand, it supports automatic differentiation of automatic control flow, so it is quite convenient to build models like PyTorch. On the other hand, MindSpore can perform static compilation optimization on neural networks to achieve great performance.The implementation of MindSpore automatic differentiation can be understood as the symbolic differentiation of the program itself. Because MindSpore IR is a functional intermediate expression, it has an intuitive correspondence with the composite function in basic algebra. The derivation formula of the composite function composed of arbitrary basic functions can be derived. Each primitive operation in MindSpore IR can correspond to the basic functions in basic algebra, which can build more complex flow control.Automatic ParallelThe goal of MindSpore automatic parallel is to build a training method that combines data parallelism, model parallelism, and hybrid parallelism. It can automatically select a least cost model splitting strategy to achieve automatic distributed parallel training.At present, MindSpore uses a fine-grained parallel strategy of splitting operators, that is, each operator in the figure is split into a cluster to complete parallel operations. The splitting strategy during this period may be very complicated, but as a developer advocating Pythonic, you don't need to care about the underlying implementation, as long as the top-level API compute is efficient.InstallationPip mode method installationMindSpore offers build options across multiple backends:Hardware PlatformOperating SystemStatusAscend910Ubuntu-x86✔️Ubuntu-aarch64✔️EulerOS-aarch64✔️CentOS-x86✔️CentOS-aarch64✔️GPU CUDA 10.1Ubuntu-x86✔️CPUUbuntu-x86✔️Ubuntu-aarch64✔️Windows-x86✔️For installation usingpip, takeCPUandUbuntu-x86build version as an example:Download whl fromMindSpore download page, and install the package.pipinstallhttps://ms-release.obs.cn-north-4.myhuaweicloud.com/1.2.0-rc1/MindSpore/cpu/ubuntu_x86/mindspore-1.2.0rc1-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whlRun the following command to verify the install.importnumpyasnpimportmindspore.contextascontextimportmindspore.nnasnnfrommindsporeimportTensorfrommindspore.opsimportoperationsasPcontext.set_context(mode=context.GRAPH_MODE,device_target="CPU")classMul(nn.Cell):def__init__(self):super(Mul,self).__init__()self.mul=P.Mul()defconstruct(self,x,y):returnself.mul(x,y)x=Tensor(np.array([1.0,2.0,3.0]).astype(np.float32))y=Tensor(np.array([4.0,5.0,6.0]).astype(np.float32))mul=Mul()print(mul(x,y))[ 4. 10. 18.]Use pip mode method to install MindSpore in different environments.
