training Pytorch models with onnxruntime

training pytorch models with onnxruntime

torch-ort can be used to train pytorch models with onnxruntime backend. Before using torch-ort, one need to have a working pytorch gpu environment.

to build (you need to update version number in version.txt in order to be able to upload a python whl):

(run 'pip install setuptools', if it is not already installed) 
rm dist/*
python setup.py bdist_wheel

to publish (it will ask for user name and password):

twine upload dist/*

to install:

stable:

TBD

nightly:

(make sure you are not in the ort repo folder - otherwise torch-ort is taken as already installed)
pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://aiinfra.pkgs.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_packaging/ORT-Nightly/pypi/simple/ ort-gpu-nightly-training
pip install torch-ort

(eventually we are aiming at: pip install --pre torch-ort onnxruntime=1.9.0+cu111_training)

to test:

python ./ort/tests/bert_for_sequence_classification.py

to use torch-ort within PyTorch training scripts:

import onnxruntime
from torch_ort import ORTModule
model = ORTModule(model)
# normal PyTorch training script follows

FAQs

Question: When running training script with ORTModule, I got an error of missing Cuda shared library:

Answer: It is possible that your torch install has a different version of Cuda library than onnxruntime. In this case, do:

conda install -c anaconda cudatoolkit=10.2.89
(replace with the right cudatoolkit version)
