ML/PYTORCH ========== The overall goal of machine learning models in this context is to accelerate computationally expensive kernels/routines as part of an AMReX simulation. This tutorial demonstrates how to interface a pre-trained PyTorch machine learning model to an AMReX simulation by querying inputs from and supplying outputs to an AMReX MultiFab. Here we use a 1-input, 2-output model to illustrate the interface between the PyTorch model and a MultiFab. PyTorch is a commonly used machine learning package with a C++ API library called LibTorch. Located in the directory ``amrex-tutorials/ExampleCodes/ML/PYTORCH``, this example uses a machine learning model to solve a radioactive beta decay problem. To begin, we initialize data on a MultiFab, then copy the data into a PyTorch tensor, then we call the pre-trained model to compute the outputs, and finally we load the result back into a MultiFab. The program runs on either only the CPU or both the CPU and GPU. **Running an AMReX application with a PyTorch model** ----------------------------------------------------- Below is a step-by-step guide to successfully run an AMReX program that uses a PyTorch model. It will require the model to have been saved as a TorchScript. In this example the TorchScript file is ``model.pt``. For more information on TorchScript, please see their `intro tutorial `_. 1. Before compiling, either a CPU or CUDA version of LibTorch (PyTorch C++ library) must be downloaded into ``ML/PYTORCH/``. To download the CPU-only version of ``libtorch`` and rename it to ``libtorch_cpu``: .. code-block:: console wget https://download.pytorch.org/libtorch/cpu/libtorch-cxx11-abi-shared-with-deps-1.9.0%2Bcpu.zip unzip libtorch-cxx11-abi-shared-with-deps-1.9.0+cpu.zip mv libtorch libtorch_cpu Similarly, the CUDA 11.1 version of ``libtorch`` can be downloaded and renamed to ``libtorch_cuda``: .. code-block:: console wget https://download.pytorch.org/libtorch/cu111/libtorch-cxx11-abi-shared-with-deps-1.9.0%2Bcu111.zip unzip libtorch-cxx11-abi-shared-with-deps-1.9.0+cu111.zip mv libtorch libtorch_cuda You can also check the website, `PyTorch `_ to download the latest version of LibTorch. 2. Go to ``ML/PYTORCH/Exec`` to compile the executable. If using GPU, compile with ``USE_CUDA=TRUE``. Run ``make`` and it should result in an executable named ``main2d.gnu.MPI.CUDA.ex`` 3. Then you can run the example: ``./main2d.gnu.MPI.CUDA.ex inputs``. **Beta Decay** -------------- In this example, the machine learning model is a regression model pre-trained to solve a two-component ODE system describing beta decay. The input is a time step ``dt`` and output is the two-component solution of the ODE system at time ``t = dt``. **Pre-trained Model** --------------------- The TorchScript model that is included in this example is located at ``ML/PYTORCH/Exec/model.pt``. If you wish to change the model, edit the ``model_file`` parameter in ``ML/PYTORCH/Exec/inputs`` to your desired PyTorch model file location.
