Add a tqdm progress bar to your JAX scans and loops.
Install with pip:
pip install jax-tqdm
from jax_tqdm import scan_tqdm
from jax import lax
import jax.numpy as jnp
n = 10_000
@scan_tqdm(n)
def step(carry, x):
return carry + 1, carry + 1
last_number, all_numbers = lax.scan(step, 0, jnp.arange(n))
from jax_tqdm import loop_tqdm
from jax import lax
n = 10_000
@loop_tqdm(n)
def step(i, val):
return val + 1
last_number = lax.fori_loop(0, n, step, 0)
For scans and loops inside a map, jax-tqdm can print stacked progress bars
showing the individual progress of each process. To do this you can wrap
the initial value of the loop or scan inside a PBar
class, along with the
index of the progress bar. For example
from jax_tqdm import PBar, scan_tqdm
import jax
n = 10_000
@scan_tqdm(n)
def step(carry, _):
return carry + 1, carry + 1
def map_func(i):
# Wrap the initial value and pass the
# progress bar index
init = PBar(id=i, carry=0)
final_value, _all_numbers = jax.lax.scan(
step, init, jax.numpy.arange(n)
)
return (
final_value.carry,
_all_numbers,
)
last_numbers, all_numbers = jax.vmap(map_func)(jax.numpy.arange(10))
The indices of the progress bars should be contiguous integers starting from 0.
By default, the progress bar is updated 20 times over the course of the scan/loop
(for performance purposes, see below). This
update rate can be manually controlled with the print_rate
keyword argument. For
example:
from jax_tqdm import scan_tqdm
from jax import lax
import jax.numpy as jnp
n = 10_000
@scan_tqdm(n, print_rate=2)
def step(carry, x):
return carry + 1, carry + 1
last_number, all_numbers = lax.scan(step, 0, jnp.arange(n))
will update every other step.
You can select the tqdm submodule manually with the tqdm_type
option. The options are 'std'
, 'notebook'
, or 'auto'
.
from jax_tqdm import scan_tqdm
from jax import lax
import jax.numpy as jnp
n = 10_000
@scan_tqdm(n, print_rate=1, tqdm_type='std') # tqdm_type='std' or 'notebook' or 'auto'
def step(carry, x):
return carry + 1, carry + 1
last_number, all_numbers = lax.scan(step, 0, jnp.arange(n))
Any additional keyword arguments are passed to the tqdm progress bar constructor. For example:
from jax_tqdm import scan_tqdm
from jax import lax
import jax.numpy as jnp
n = 10_000
@scan_tqdm(n, print_rate=1, desc='progress bar', position=0, leave=False)
def step(carry, x):
return carry + 1, carry + 1
last_number, all_numbers = lax.scan(step, 0, jnp.arange(n))
JAX functions are pure, so side effects such as printing progress when running scans and loops are not allowed. However, the debug module has primitives for calling Python functions on the host from JAX code. This can be used to update a Python tqdm progress bar regularly during the computation. JAX-tqdm implements this for JAX scans and loops and is used by simply adding a decorator to the body of your update function.
Note that as the tqdm progress bar is only updated 20 times during the scan or loop, there is no performance penalty.
