Overview of this book

PyTorch is making it easier than ever before for anyone to build deep learning applications. This PyTorch deep learning book will help you uncover expert techniques to get the most out of your data and build complex neural network models. You’ll build convolutional neural networks for image classification and recurrent neural networks and transformers for sentiment analysis. As you advance, you'll apply deep learning across different domains, such as music, text, and image generation, using generative models, including diffusion models. You'll not only build and train your own deep reinforcement learning models in PyTorch but also learn to optimize model training using multiple CPUs, GPUs, and mixed-precision training. You’ll deploy PyTorch models to production, including mobile devices. Finally, you’ll discover the PyTorch ecosystem and its rich set of libraries. These libraries will add another set of tools to your deep learning toolbelt, teaching you how to use fastai to prototype models and PyTorch Lightning to train models. You’ll discover libraries for AutoML and explainable AI (XAI), create recommendation systems, and build language and vision transformers with Hugging Face. By the end of this book, you'll be able to perform complex deep learning tasks using PyTorch to build smart artificial intelligence models.

Profiling MNIST model inference using PyTorch Profiler

The profiling of programming code is the analysis of its performance in terms of its space (memory) and time complexity, providing us with a breakdown of the time and memory consumed by the various sub-modules or functions called within the code. When we run inference using a PyTorch deep learning model, a series of such function calls are made in order to produce the output (y) from the input (X). In this section, we will learn how to profile PyTorch model inference using the PyTorch Profiler.

We will infer the MNIST model that was trained in Chapter 1, Overview of Deep Learning Using PyTorch [13], and deployed in Chapter 13, Operationalizing PyTorch Models into Production [14]. First we will run the model inference on a CPU and profile the inference to examine the CPU time and memory consumption by its various internal operations. Next, we will run model inference on the GPU and repeat the profiling exercise. Finally, we...
