If you use the HyperParameterOptimizer in hyper parameter optimization mode, this main function will get one set of hyperparameters. If you use it as a simple argument parser you get the default arguments in the argument parser. So, calling main(hyperparams) runs the model with the default argparse arguments. main(hyperparams)","title":"Trainer Example"},{"location":"examples/Examples/#cpu-hyperparameter-search","text":"# run a grid search over 20 hyperparameter combinations. hyperparams.optimize_parallel_cpu( main_local, nb_trials=20, nb_workers=1 )","title":"CPU hyperparameter search"},{"location":"examples/Examples/#hyperparameter-search-on-a-single-or-multiple-gpus","text":"# run a grid search over 20 hyperparameter combinations. hyperparams.optimize_parallel_gpu( main_local, nb_trials=20, nb_workers=1, gpus=[0,1,2,3] )","title":"Hyperparameter search on a single or multiple GPUs"},{"location":"examples/Examples/#hyperparameter-search-on-a-slurm-hpc-cluster","text":"def optimize_on_cluster(hyperparams): # enable cluster training cluster = SlurmCluster( hyperparam_optimizer=hyperparams, log_path=hyperparams.tt_save_path, test_tube_exp_name=hyperparams.tt_name ) # email for cluster coms cluster.notify_job_status(email='add_email_here', on_done=True, on_fail=True) # configure cluster cluster.per_experiment_nb_gpus = hyperparams.per_experiment_nb_gpus cluster.job_time = '48:00:00' cluster.gpu_type = '1080ti' cluster.memory_mb_per_node = 48000 # any modules for code to run in env cluster.add_command('source activate pytorch_lightning') # name of exp job_display_name = hyperparams.tt_name.split('_')[0] job_display_name = job_display_name[0:3] # run hopt print('submitting jobs...') cluster.optimize_parallel_cluster_gpu( main, nb_trials=hyperparams.nb_hopt_trials, job_name=job_display_name ) # run cluster hyperparameter search optimize_on_cluster(hyperparams)","title":"Hyperparameter search on a SLURM HPC cluster"}]}
