chainer.DeviceResident¶
- class chainer.DeviceResident[source]¶
A base class of objects with multi-device hierarchy.
Methods
- device_resident_accept(visitor)[source]¶
Applies the visitor to all the device objects in this instance.
- Parameters
visitor (DeviceResidentsVisitor) – Visitor.
This method should be overridden if the concrete class has custom sub-hierarchy of device resident objects.
- from_chx()[source]¶
Converts parameter variables and persistent values from ChainerX to NumPy/CuPy devices without any copy.
- to_chx()[source]¶
Converts parameter variables and persistent values to ChainerX without any copy.
This method does not handle non-registered attributes. If some of such attributes must be copied to ChainerX, the link implementation must override this method to do so.
Returns: self
- to_cpu() chainer.device_resident.DeviceResident [source]¶
Copies parameter variables and persistent values to CPU.
Deprecated since version v7.0.0: Use
to_device()
instead.This method does not handle non-registered attributes. If some of such attributes must be copied to CPU, the link implementation should override
device_resident_accept()
to do so.Returns: self
- to_device(device: Union[backend.Device, chainerx.Device, cuda.Device, str, Tuple[str, int], ModuleType, Tuple[ModuleType, int]]) DeviceResident [source]¶
Copies parameter variables and persistent values to the specified device.
This method does not handle non-registered attributes. If some of such attributes must be copied to the device, the link implementation must override this method to do so.
- Parameters
device – Target device specifier. See
get_device()
for available values.
Returns: self
- to_gpu(device: Optional[Union[chainer.backends.cuda.Device, int, numpy.integer]] = None) chainer.device_resident.DeviceResident [source]¶
Copies parameter variables and persistent values to GPU.
Deprecated since version v7.0.0: Use
to_device()
instead.This method does not handle non-registered attributes. If some of such attributes must be copied to GPU, the link implementation must override
device_resident_accept()
to do so.Warning
This method does not transfer the parameters if they are already on GPU. Use
to_device
to perform inter-GPU transfer.- Parameters
device – Target device specifier. If omitted, the current device is used.
Returns: self
- to_intel64() chainer.device_resident.DeviceResident [source]¶
Copies parameter variables and persistent values to CPU.
Deprecated since version v7.0.0: Use
to_device()
instead.
- __eq__(value, /)¶
Return self==value.
- __ne__(value, /)¶
Return self!=value.
- __lt__(value, /)¶
Return self<value.
- __le__(value, /)¶
Return self<=value.
- __gt__(value, /)¶
Return self>value.
- __ge__(value, /)¶
Return self>=value.
