§ TensorFlow Python and C++ Dataset API
§ Python Module and Packaging
§ Comfort with Python’s Lack of Strong Typing
§ C++ Concurrency Constructs
§ Protocol Buffers
§ Old Queue API
§ GPU/CUDA Memory Tricks And a Lot of Coffee!
56. FEED TENSORFLOW TRAINING PIPELINE
§ Training is Limited by the Ingestion Pipeline

§ Scaling GPUs Up / Out Doesn’t Help
§ GPUs are Heavily Under-Utilized
§ Use tf.dataset API for best perf
§ Efficient parallel async I/O (C++)
Tesla K80 Volta V100
57. DON’T USE FEED_DICT!!
§ feed_dict Requires Python <-> C++ Serialization
§ Not Optimized for Production Ingestion Pipelines
§ Retrieves Next Batch After Current Batch is Done
§ Single-Threaded, Synchronous
§ CPUs/GPUs Not Fully Utilized!
§ Use Queue or Dataset APIs
§ Queues are old & complex
sess.run(train_step, feed_dict={…}
58. DETECT UNDERUTILIZED CPUS, GPUS
§ Instrument Code to Generate “Timelines”
§ Analyze with Google Web
Tracing Framework (WTF)
§ Monitor CPU with top, GPU with nvidia-smi
http://google.github.io/tracing-framework/
from tensorflow.python.client import timeline
trace =
timeline.Timeline(step_stats=run_metadata.step_stats)
with open('timeline.json', 'w') as trace_file:
trace_file.write(
trace.generate_chrome_trace_format(show_memory=True))
59. QUEUES
§ More than Traditional Queue
§ Uses CUDA Streams
§ Perform I/O, Pre-processing, Cropping, Shuffling, …
§ Pull from HDFS, S3, Google Storage, Kafka, ...
§ Combine Many Small Files into Large TFRecord Files
§ Use CPUs to Free GPUs for Compute
§ Helps Saturate CPUs and GPUs
60. QUEUE CAPACITY PLANNING
§ batch_size
§ # examples / batch (ie. 64 jpg)
§ Limited by GPU RAM
§ num_processing_threads
§ CPU threads pull and pre-process batches of data
§ Limited by CPU Cores
§ queue_capacity
§ Limited by CPU RAM (ie. 5 * batch_size)
61. TF.DTYPE
§ tf.float32, tf.int32, tf.string, etc
§ Default is usually tf.float32
§ Most TF operations support numpy natively
# Tuple of (tf.float32 scalar, tf.int32 array of 100 elements)
(tf.random_uniform([1]), tf.random_uniform([1, 100], dtype=tf.int32))
62. TF.TRAIN.FEATURE
§ Three(3) Feature Types
§ Bytes
§ Float
§ Int64
§ Actually, They Are Lists of 0..* Values of 3 Types Above
§ BytesList
§ FloatList
§ Int64List
63. TF.TRAIN.FEATURES
§ Map of {String -> Feature}
§ Better Name is “FeatureMap”
§ Organize Feature into Categories
§ Access Feature Using
Features[’feature_name’]
65. TF.TRAIN.FEATURELISTS
§ Map of {String -> FeatureList}
§ Better Name is “FeatureListMap”
§ Organize FeatureList into Categories
§ Access FeatureList Using
FeatureLists[’feature_list_name’]
66. TF.TRAIN.EXAMPLE
§ Key-Value Dictionary
§ String -> tf.train.Feature
§ Not a Self-Describing Format (?!)
§ Must Establish Schema Upfront by Writers and Readers
§ Must Obey the Following Conventions
§ Feature K must be of Type T in all Examples
§ Feature K can be omitted, default can be configured
§ If Feature K exists as empty, no default is applied
67. TF.TFRECORD
§ Contains many tf.train.Example’s
=> tf.train.Example contains many tf.train.Feature’s
=> tf.train.Feature contains BytesList, FloatList, Int64List
§ Record-Oriented Format of Binary Strings (ProtoBuffer)
§ Must Convert tf.train.Example to Serialized String
§ Use tf.train.Example.SerializeToString()
§ Used for Large Scale ML/AI Training
§ Not Meant for Random or Non-Sequential Access
§ Compression: GZIP, ZLIB
uint64 length
uint32 masked_crc32_of_length
byte data[length]
uint32 masked_crc32_of_data
68. EMBRACE BINARY FORMATS!
§ Unreadable and Scary, But Much More Efficient
§ Better Use of Memory and Disk Cache
§ Faster Copying and Moving
§ Smaller on the Wire

69. CONVERTING MNIST DATA TO TFRECORD
def convert_to_tfrecord(data, name):
images = data.images
labels = data.labels
num_examples = data.num_examples
rows = images.shape[1]
cols = images.shape[2]
depth = images.shape[3]

'image_raw': tf.train.Feature(bytes_list=tf.train.BytesList(value=[image_raw]))
}))
writer.write(example.SerializeToString())
tf.python_io.TFRecordWriter
70. READING TF.TFRECORD’S
§ tf.data.TFRecordDatasetß Preferred (Dataset API)
§ tf.TFRecordReader()ß Not Preferred (Queue API)
§ tf.python_io.tf_record_iterator ß Preferred
§ Used as Python Generator
for serialized_example in tf.python_io.tf_record_iterator(filename):
example = tf.train.Example()
example.ParseFromString(serialized_example)
image_raw example.features.feature['image_raw’].string_list.value
height = example.features.feature[‘height'].int32_list.value[0]
…
71. DE-SERIALIZING TF.TFRECORD’S
feature_map = {'height': tf.train.Feature(int64_list=tf.train.Int64List(value=[rows])),
'width': tf.train.Feature(int64_list=tf.train.Int64List(value=[cols])),
'depth': tf.train.Feature(int64_list=tf.train.Int64List(value=[depth])),
'label': tf.train.Feature(int64_list=tf.train.Int64List(value=[index])),
'image_raw': tf.train.Feature(bytes_list=tf.train.BytesList(value=[image_raw]))
deserialized_features = tf.parse_single_example(serialized_example, features=feature_map)
# Cast height from String to int32
height = tf.cast(deserialized_features[‘height’], tf.int32)
…
# Convert raw image from string to float32
image_raw = tf.decode_raw(deserialized_features[‘image_raw'], tf.float32)
72. MORE TF.TRAIN.FEATURE CONSTRUCTS
§ tf.VarLenFeature
§ tf.FixedLenFeature, tf.FixedLenSequenceFeature
§ tf.SparseFeature
feature_map = {'height': tf.FixedLenFeature((), tf.int32, …)),
…
'image_raw': tf.train.VarLenFeature(tf.string, …))
deserialized_features = tf.parse_single_example(serialized_example, features=feature_map)
# Cast height from String to int32
height = tf.cast(deserialized_features[‘height’], tf.int32)
…
# Convert raw image from string to float32
image_raw = tf.decode_raw(deserialized_features[‘image_raw'], tf.float32)
73. TF.DATA.DATASET

Dataset.from_tensor_slices((features, labels))
TextLineDataset(filenames)
dataset.map(lambda x: tf.decode_jpeg(x))
dataset.repeat(NUM_EPOCHS)
dataset.batch(BATCH_SIZE)
def generator():
while True:
yield ...
dataset.from_generator(generator, tf.int32)
Dataset => One-Shot Iterator
Dataset => Initializable Iter
iter = dataset.make_one_shot_iterator()
next_element = iter.get_next()
while …:
sess.run(next_element)
iter = dataset.make_initializable_iterator()
sess.run(iter.initializer, feed_dict=PARAMS)
next_element = iter.get_next()
while …:
sess.run(next_element)
TIP: Use Dataset.prefetch() and parallel version of Dataset.map()
76. CUSTOM TF.PY_FUNC() TRANSFORMATION
§ Custom Python Function
§ Similar to Spark Python UDF (Eek!)
§ You Will Suffer a Big Performance Penalty
§ Try to Use TensorFlow-Native Operations
§ Remember, you can build your own in C++!
77. TF.DATA.ITERATOR TYPES
§ One Shot: Iterates Once Through the Dataset
§ Currently, best Iterator to use with Estimator API
§ Initializable: Runs iterator.initializer() Once
§ Re-Initializable: Runs iterator.initializer() Many
§ Ie. Random shuffling between iterations (epochs) of training
§ Feedable: Switch Between Different Dataset
§ Uses Feed and Placeholder to explicitly feed the iterator
§ Doesn’t require initialization when switching
78. TF.DATA.ITERATOR SIMPLE EXAMPLE
dataset = tf.data.Dataset.range(5)
iterator = dataset.make_initializable_iterator()
next_element = iterator.get_next()
# Typically `result` will be the output of a model, or an optimizer's
# training operation.
result = tf.add(next_element, next_element)
sess.run(iterator.initializer)
while True:
try:
sess.run(result) # è 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
except tf.errors.OutOfRangeError:
print(‘End of dataset…’)
break
79. TF.DATA.ITERATOR TEXT EXAMPLE
filenames = ["/var/data/file1.txt", "/var/data/file2.txt"]
dataset = tf.data.TextLineDataset(filenames)
filenames = ["/var/data/file1.txt", "/var/data/file2.txt"]
dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices(filenames)
dataset = dataset.flat_map(
lambda filename: (
tf.data.TextLineDataset(filename)
.skip(1)
.filter(lambda line: tf.not_equal(tf.substr(line, 0, 1), "#"))))
§ Skip 1st Header Line and Comment Lines Starting with `#`
80. TF.DATA.ITERATOR NUMPY EXAMPLE
# Load the training data into two NumPy arrays, for example using `np.load()`.
with np.load("/var/data/training_data.npy") as data:
features = data["features"]
labels = data["labels"]
# Assume that each row of `features` corresponds to the same row as `labels`.
assert features.shape[0] == labels.shape[0]
features_placeholder = tf.placeholder(features.dtype, features.shape)
labels_placeholder = tf.placeholder(labels.dtype, labels.shape)
dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((features_placeholder, labels_placeholder))
# …Your Dataset Transformations…
iterator = dataset.make_initializable_iterator()
sess.run(iterator.initializer, feed_dict={features_placeholder: features,
labels_placeholder: labels})
81. TF.DATA.ITERATOR TFRECORD EXAMPLE
filenames = tf.placeholder(tf.string, shape=[None])
dataset = tf.data.TFRecordDataset(filenames)
dataset = dataset.map(...) # Parse the record into tensors.
dataset = dataset.repeat() # Repeat the input indefinitely.
dataset = dataset.batch(32) # Batches of size 32
iterator = dataset.make_initializable_iterator()
# You can feed the initializer with the appropriate filenames for the current
# phase of execution, e.g. training vs. validation.
# Initialize `iterator` with training data.
training_filenames = ["/var/data/file1.tfrecord", "/var/data/file2.tfrecord"]
sess.run(iterator.initializer, feed_dict={filenames: training_filenames})
# Initialize `iterator` with validation data.
validation_filenames = ["/var/data/validation1.tfrecord", ...]
sess.run(iterator.initializer, feed_dict={filenames: validation_filenames})

§ Note: This is Likely to be Deprecated Soon
86. ESTIMATOR + EXPERIMENT CONFIGS
§ TF_CONFIG
§ Special environment variable for config
§ Defines ClusterSpec in JSON incl. master, workers, PS’s

§ Local: ‘{environment”:“local”, {“task”:{”type”:”worker”}}’
§ RunConfig: Defines checkpoint interval, output directory,
§ HParams: Hyper-parameter tuning parameters and ranges
§ learn_runner creates RunConfig before calling run() & tune()
§ schedule is set based on {”task”:{”type”:…}}
TF_CONFIG=
'{

87. ESTIMATOR + KERAS
§ Distributed TensorFlow (Estimator) + Easy to Use (Keras)
§ tf.keras.estimator.model_to_estimator()
# Instantiate a Keras inception v3 model.
keras_inception_v3 = tf.keras.applications.inception_v3.InceptionV3(weights=None)
# Compile model with the optimizer, loss, and metrics you'd like to train with.
keras_inception_v3.compile(optimizer=tf.keras.optimizers.SGD(lr=0.0001, momentum=0.9),
loss='categorical_crossentropy',
metric='accuracy')
# Create an Estimator from the compiled Keras model.
est_inception_v3 = tf.keras.estimator.model_to_estimator(keras_model=keras_inception_v3)
# Treat the derived Estimator as you would any other Estimator. For example,
# the following derived Estimator calls the train method:
est_inception_v3.train(input_fn=my_training_set, steps=2000)
88. “CANNED” ESTIMATORS
§ Commonly-Used Estimators

iter = my_dataset.make_one_shot_iterator()
# The return value of get_next() matches the dataset element type.
images, labels = iter.get_next()
return images, labels
# The input_fn can be used as a regular Estimator input function.

106. DATA PARALLEL VS. MODEL PARALLEL
§ Data Parallel (“Between-Graph Replication”)
§ Send exact same model to each device
§ Each device operates on partition of data
§ ie. Spark sends same function to many workers
§ Each worker operates on their partition of data
§ Model Parallel (“In-Graph Replication”)
§ Send different partition of model to each device
§ Each device operates on all data
§ Difficult, but required for larger models with lower-memory GPUs
107. SYNCHRONOUS VS. ASYNCHRONOUS
§ Synchronous
§ Nodes compute gradients
§ Nodes update Parameter Server (PS)
§ Nodes sync on PS for latest gradients
§ Asynchronous
§ Some nodes delay in computing gradients
§ Nodes don’t update PS
§ Nodes get stale gradients from PS
§ May not converge due to stale reads!
108. CHIEF WORKER
§ Chief Defaults to Worker Task 0
§ Task 0 is guaranteed to exist
§ Performs Maintenance Tasks
§ Writes log summaries
§ Instructs PS to checkpoint vars
§ Performs PS health checks
§ (Re-)Initialize variables at (re-)start of training
109. NODE AND PROCESS FAILURES
§ Checkpoint to Persistent Storage (HDFS, S3)
§ Use MonitoredTrainingSession and Hooks
§ Use a Good Cluster Orchestrator (ie. Kubernetes, Mesos)
§ Understand Failure Modes and Recovery States
Stateless, Not Bad: Training Continues Stateful, Bad: Training Must Stop Dios Mio! Long Night Ahead…
