PaddlePaddle 2.5.0 Release Note

1. 重要更新

  • 动静统一新架构:实现基础算子组合的动转静加编译器执行新模式,在ResNet50&Bert模型上完成动转静、组合算子、神经网络编译器优化加速全流程。动转静完成整图fallback核心功能开发,支持动转静失败时回退到动态图训练执行;组合算子设计一套包含150多个基础算子的基础算子体系,实现python层前向算子拆分机制和支持动、静态图的反向算子拆分机制,实现70多个常用前、反向算子的拆分;CINN编译器修复正确性问题,开发关键Pass,添加手工Schedule规则,实现内核代码自动生成,ResNet50模型性能提升12%,Bert模型性能提升10%。
  • PHI算子库算子架构统一:将原算子体系下剩余的350+算子内核全部统一到PHI算子库中,以及原算子体系中的算子定义方式也都统一为PHI算子库的算子定义形式(基于YAML配置定义算子),提升了架构统一性,降低了框架开发的理解成本;将PHI算子库依赖的Fluid头文件全部解耦,并独立编译为动态链接库,为框架的二次开发提供更轻量的算子库复用方式;继续对飞桨框架中不规范的算子以及算子内核进行规范化调整,便于开发者理解,降低了硬件的接入成本。
  • 静态图新执行器全面上线:静态图新执行器实现多项功能和性能优化,完成对原有多套旧执行器的统一和替换,成为静态图单卡和分布式训练python端入口以及动转静、控制流、CINN等后端默认使用的执行引擎,大幅提升框架调度性能,功能架构更加清晰,二次开发能力显著增强。
  • Python API 支持0维tensor:为形状为[1,] 及形状为 [] 的张量定义了清晰的语义。
  • 新的环境适配:适配了CUDA 12,并支持使用gcc12进行编译。

2. 不兼容升级

  • 飞桨API支持0维tensor。飞桨之前用shape为[1]的1维tensor来替代0维tensor,这种替代方式和当前主流习惯有差异,增加模型的开发调试成本,有时还会导致非预期错误。本版本对需支持0维tensor的376个API进行了修正,和社区广泛使用的工具如EinOps等实现。例如,在之前的情况下,模型训练中输出的loss为1维tensor,如果要取出或打印loss,往往需要使用 loss.numpy()[0] 这样的代码。经过本次修改后,模型训练中输出的loss为0维tensor,使用 loss.numpy() 即可取出或打印loss,代码简短、易懂且符合业界使用习惯。
  • paddle.fluid API全面退场。按照上个版本已预告的计划,本次退场了1116个paddle.fluidAPI及相关内部接口,剩余少量相关内部接口会在下个版本全部清理完成。fluid API属于飞桨2.0本计划移除但考虑到兼容性等因素延缓清理的历史API,本次退场清理不会影响基于飞桨2.0开发的程序,飞桨API体系也会更加简洁易懂。
  • 旧版动态图Python端代码完成清理。至此,Python端仅使用新版动态图调用C++核心逻辑。
  • 为统一静态图模型数据并行的训练方式,废弃原有的单进程多卡训练方式,包括 paddle.static.ParallelExecutorpaddle.static.CompiledProgram().with_data_parallel() 两个接口,原因是这套接口只支持单机多卡,不支持多机多卡,且底层执行性能较差。推荐统一使用多进程多卡训练方式,即 paddle.distributed.launch 接口来进行数据并行的分布式训练。该升级只影响静态图,不影响动态图和动转静训练,如果使用了废弃接口,请参考 数据并行 的文档修改模型代码。#50351#50501#51240#51701#51616#51369#52671
  • 移除框架中原有的昇腾NPU和寒武纪MLU的适配代码,全部升级为CustomDevice插件式适配方式,并将昇腾NPU和寒武纪MLU的适配代码迁移至PaddleCustomDevice仓库。

PaddlePaddle 2.5.0 Release Note

1. Highlights

  • New dynamic-static unification architecture: Implement a new dynamic-to-static plus compiler execution model in combination with the basic operator, and complete the whole dynamic-to-static, combinator and neural network compiler optimization and acceleration process on the ResNet50&Bert model. For the dynamic-to-static, complete the whole graph fallback core function development, and support the fallback to dynamic graph training execution in case of dynamic-to-static failure. For the combinator, design a set of basic operator systems containing more than 150 basic operators, to achieve the python layer forward operator splitting mechanism and the reverse operator splitting mechanism of static graphs, to realize splitting of more than 70 commonly used forward and reverse operators. For the CINN compiler, fix the correctness bug, develop the key Pass, add manual schedule rules, achieve automatic generation of kernel codes, and improve performance of ResNet50 model by 12% and Bert model by 10%.
  • Operator architecture unification of PHI operator library: Unify all remaining 350+ operator kernels under the original operator system into PHI operator Library. Unify the way of defining operator in the original operator system into the operator definition form of PHI operator library (configuration of operator definition based on YAML), enhancing unity of the architecture, and reducing comprehension cost of framework development. Decouple all the Fluid header files that the PHI operator library depends on and compile them independently as dynamic link libraries to provide a lighter reuse of the operator library for secondary development of the framework. Continue to standardize and adjust unspecified operators, as well as operator kernels in the PaddlePaddle framework. It is easy for developers to understand and reduce the cost of accessing the hardware.
  • Full go-live of new actuator for static graph: The new actuator for static graph implements a number of functions and performance optimization, and completes unification and replacement of the original multiple sets of old actuators. The new actuator becomes the back-end default execution engine for the static graph single card and distributed training python side entrance, as well as dynamic-to-static, control flow, CINN, etc. This significantly improves scheduling performance of the framework, and the functional architecture is clearer. Secondary development capability is significantly enhanced.
  • Python API supporting 0-dimensional tensor: clear semantics are defined between tensor of shape [1,] and tensor of shape [], and fixed many API behaviors to support tensor of shape [], such as paddle.sum etc.
  • New environment adaptation: Adapt to CUDA 12. Compilation with gcc12 is supported.

2. Incompatibility Upgrade

  • PaddlePaddle API supports 0-dimensional tensor.PaddlePaddle previously used a 1-dimensional tensor with a shape of [1] instead of a 0-dimensional tensor, which is different from current mainstream habits. It increases development and debugging cost of the model, and sometimes leads to unintended errors. This release fixes 376 APIs that need to support 0-dimensional tensor, and implements tools widely used by the community such as EinOps. For example, in previous cases, output loss in model training was a 1-dimensional tensor. To take out or print the loss, it was often necessary to use codes like loss.numpy()[0].After this modification, output loss in model training is a 0-dimensional tensor. When using loss.numpy(), users can take out or print the loss. The codes are short, easy to understand, and in line with the industry's habit.
  • paddle.fluid API is fully decommissioned. According to the plan that has been previewed in the last version, 1116 paddle.fluid APIs and related internal interfaces have been decommissioned, and the remaining few related internal interfaces will be cleaned up in the next version.fluid API belongs to the historical APIs that PaddlePaddle 2.0 had planned to remove, but delayed the cleanup in consideration of compatibility and other factors. This decommissioning cleanup will not affect programs developed based on PaddlePaddle 2.0, and the PaddlePaddle API system will be more concise and easier to understand.
  • Complete code cleanup at the old version of the dynamic graph Python side.So far, the Python side only uses the new version of dynamic graph to call the C++ core logic.
  • In order to unify the training method of data parallel for static graph model, original single-process multi-card training method is abandoned, including paddle.static.ParallelExecutor and paddle.static. CompiledProgram(). with_data_parallel( ) APIs, because this set of APIs only supports single-computer multi-card, does not support multi-computer multi-card, and the underlying execution performance is poor.It is recommended to use the multi-process multi-card training method uniformly, i.e., paddle.distributed.launch API for distributed training with data parallel. This upgrade affects only static graphs, and does not affect dynamic graphs and dynamic-to-static training. If you use the decommissioned API, please refer to the documentation on data parallel to modify model code. #50351#50501#51240#51701#51616#51369#52671
  • Remove the original adaptation code of Ascend NPU and Cambricon MLU in the framework, upgrade all to CustomDevice plug-in adaptation, and migrate the adaptation code of Ascend NPU and Cambricon MLU to PaddleCustomDevice warehouse.
