[docs]class DataParallel(Module): r"""Implements data parallelism at the module level. This container parallelizes the application of the given :attr:`module` by splitting the input across the specified devices by chunking in the batch dimension (other objects will be copied once per device). In the forward pass, the module is replicated on each device, and each replica handles a portion of the input. During the backwards pass, gradients from each replica are summed into the original module. The batch size should be larger than the number of GPUs used. .. warning:: It is recommended to use :class:`~torch.nn.parallel.DistributedDataParallel`, instead of this class, to do multi-GPU training, even if there is only a single node. See: :ref:`cuda-nn-ddp-instead` and :ref:`ddp`. Arbitrary positional and keyword inputs are allowed to be passed into DataParallel but some types are specially handled. tensors will be **scattered** on dim specified (default 0). tuple, list and dict types will be shallow copied. The other types will be shared among different threads and can be corrupted if written to in the model's forward pass. The parallelized :attr:`module` must have its parameters and buffers on ``device_ids[0]`` before running this :class:`~torch.nn.DataParallel` module. .. warning:: In each forward, :attr:`module` is **replicated** on each device, so any updates to the running module in ``forward`` will be lost. For example, if :attr:`module` has a counter attribute that is incremented in each ``forward``, it will always stay at the initial value because the update is done on the replicas which are destroyed after ``forward``. However, :class:`~torch.nn.DataParallel` guarantees that the replica on ``device[0]`` will have its parameters and buffers sharing storage with the base parallelized :attr:`module`. So **in-place** updates to the parameters or buffers on ``device[0]`` will be recorded. E.g., :class:`~torch.nn.BatchNorm2d` and :func:`~torch.nn.utils.spectral_norm` rely on this behavior to update the buffers. .. warning:: Forward and backward hooks defined on :attr:`module` and its submodules will be invoked ``len(device_ids)`` times, each with inputs located on a particular device. Particularly, the hooks are only guaranteed to be executed in correct order with respect to operations on corresponding devices. For example, it is not guaranteed that hooks set via :meth:`~torch.nn.Module.register_forward_pre_hook` be executed before `all` ``len(device_ids)`` :meth:`~torch.nn.Module.forward` calls, but that each such hook be executed before the corresponding :meth:`~torch.nn.Module.forward` call of that device. .. warning:: When :attr:`module` returns a scalar (i.e., 0-dimensional tensor) in :func:`forward`, this wrapper will return a vector of length equal to number of devices used in data parallelism, containing the result from each device. .. note:: There is a subtlety in using the ``pack sequence -> recurrent network -> unpack sequence`` pattern in a :class:`~torch.nn.Module` wrapped in :class:`~torch.nn.DataParallel`. See :ref:`pack-rnn-unpack-with-data-parallelism` section in FAQ for details.
