Overview of this book

This book, written by an HPC expert with over 25 years of experience, guides you through enhancing model training performance using PyTorch. Here you’ll learn how model complexity impacts training time and discover performance tuning levels to expedite the process, as well as utilize PyTorch features, specialized libraries, and efficient data pipelines to optimize training on CPUs and accelerators. You’ll also reduce model complexity, adopt mixed precision, and harness the power of multicore systems and multi-GPU environments for distributed training. By the end, you'll be equipped with techniques and strategies to speed up training and focus on building stunning models.

What do you mean by compiling?

As a programmer, you will immediately assign the term “compiling” to the process of building a program or application from the source code. Although the complete building process comprises additional phases, such as generating assembly code and linking it to libraries and other objects, it is reasonable to think that way. However, at first glance, it may be a bit confusing to think about the compiling process in the context of this book since we are talking about Python. After all, Python is not a compiled language; it is an interpreted language, and thus, no compiling is involved.

Note

It is important to clarify that Python uses compiled functions for performance purposes, though it is primarily an interpreted language.

That said, what is the meaning of compiling a model? Before answering this question, we must understand the two execution modes of machine learning frameworks. Follow me to the next section.
