<p>FX is a toolkit for developers to use to transform <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nn.Module</span></code>
instances. FX consists of three main components: a <strong>symbolic tracer,</strong>
an <strong>intermediate representation</strong>, and <strong>Python code generation</strong>. A

<p>The <strong>symbolic tracer</strong> performs “symbolic execution” of the Python
code. It feeds fake values, called Proxies, through the code. Operations
on theses Proxies are recorded. More information about symbolic tracing
can be found in the <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.symbolic_trace" title="torch.fx.symbolic_trace"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">symbolic_trace()</span></code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Tracer" title="torch.fx.Tracer"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Tracer</span></code></a>
documentation.</p>
<p>The <strong>intermediate representation</strong> is the container for the operations
that were recorded during symbolic tracing. It consists of a list of
Nodes that represent function inputs, callsites (to functions, methods,
or <a class="reference internal" href="generated/torch.nn.Module.html#torch.nn.Module" title="torch.nn.Module"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.nn.Module</span></code></a> instances), and return values. More information
about the IR can be found in the documentation for <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Graph" title="torch.fx.Graph"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Graph</span></code></a>. The
IR is the format on which transformations are applied.</p>
<p><strong>Python code generation</strong> is what makes FX a Python-to-Python (or
Module-to-Module) transformation toolkit. For each Graph IR, we can
create valid Python code matching the Graph’s semantics. This
functionality is wrapped up in <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.GraphModule" title="torch.fx.GraphModule"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">GraphModule</span></code></a>, which is a
<a class="reference internal" href="generated/torch.nn.Module.html#torch.nn.Module" title="torch.nn.Module"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.nn.Module</span></code></a> instance that holds a <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Graph" title="torch.fx.Graph"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Graph</span></code></a> as well as a
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">forward</span></code> method generated from the Graph.</p>
<p>Taken together, this pipeline of components (symbolic tracing -&gt;
intermediate representation -&gt; transforms -&gt; Python code generation)
constitutes the Python-to-Python transformation pipeline of FX. In
addition, these components can be used separately. For example,
symbolic tracing can be used in isolation to capture a form of
the code for analysis (and not transformation) purposes. Code
generation can be used for programmatically generating models, for
example from a config file. There are many uses for FX!</p>
<p>Several example transformations can be found at the
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pytorch/examples/tree/master/fx">examples</a>

<p>We can use this information to answer the questions we posed above.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>What are the inputs to the method? In FX, method inputs are specified
via special <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">placeholder</span></code> nodes. In this case, we have a single

<h3>Proxy/Retracing<a class="headerlink" href="#proxy-retracing" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<p>Another way of manipulating <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Graph" title="torch.fx.Graph"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Graph</span></code></a>s is by reusing the <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Proxy" title="torch.fx.Proxy"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code></a>
machinery used in symbolic tracing. For example, let’s
imagine that we wanted to write a transformation that decomposed
PyTorch functions into smaller operations. It would transform every
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">F.relu(x)</span></code> call into <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">(x</span> <span class="pre">&gt;</span> <span class="pre">0)</span> <span class="pre">*</span> <span class="pre">x</span></code>. One possibility would be to
perform the requisite graph rewriting to insert the comparison and
multiplication after the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">F.relu</span></code>, and then clean up the original
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">F.relu</span></code>. However, we can automate this process by using <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Proxy" title="torch.fx.Proxy"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code></a>
objects to automatically record operations into the <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Graph" title="torch.fx.Graph"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Graph</span></code></a>.</p>
<p>To use this method, we write the operations that we want inserted as regular
PyTorch code and invoke that code with <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Proxy" title="torch.fx.Proxy"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code></a> objects as arguments.
These <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Proxy" title="torch.fx.Proxy"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code></a> objects will capture the operations that are performed
on them and append them to the <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Graph" title="torch.fx.Graph"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Graph</span></code></a>.</p>

<p>In addition to avoiding explicit graph manipulation, using <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Proxy" title="torch.fx.Proxy"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code></a>s
also allows you to specify your rewrite rules as native Python code.
For transformations that require a large amount of rewrite rules
(such as vmap or grad), this can often improve readability and
maintainability of the rules. Note that while calling <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Proxy" title="torch.fx.Proxy"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code></a> we also
passed a tracer pointing to the underlying variable <cite>graph</cite>. This is done so
if in case the operations in graph are n-ary (e.g. add is a binary operator)
the call to <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Proxy" title="torch.fx.Proxy"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code></a> does not create multiple instances of a graph
tracer which can lead to unexpected runtime errors. We recommend this method
of using <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Proxy" title="torch.fx.Proxy"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code></a> especially when the underlying operators can not be
safely assumed to be unary.</p>
<p>A worked example of using <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Proxy" title="torch.fx.Proxy"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code></a>s for <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Graph" title="torch.fx.Graph"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Graph</span></code></a> manipulation

<h3>The Interpreter Pattern<a class="headerlink" href="#the-interpreter-pattern" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<p>A useful code organizational pattern in FX is to loop over all the <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Node" title="torch.fx.Node"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Node</span></code></a>s
in a <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Graph" title="torch.fx.Graph"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Graph</span></code></a> and execute them. This can be used for several things including
runtime analysis of values flowing through the graph or transformation of the code
via retracing with <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Proxy" title="torch.fx.Proxy"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code></a>s. For example, suppose we want to run a
<a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.GraphModule" title="torch.fx.GraphModule"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">GraphModule</span></code></a> and record the <a class="reference internal" href="tensors.html#torch.Tensor" title="torch.Tensor"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.Tensor</span></code></a> shape and dtype

<p>As you can see, a full interpreter for FX is not that complicated
but it can be very useful. To ease using this pattern, we provide
the <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Interpreter" title="torch.fx.Interpreter"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Interpreter</span></code></a> class, which encompasses the above logic
in a way that certain aspects of the interpreter’s execution can
be overridden via method overrides.</p>
<p>In addition to executing operations, we can also generate a new
<cite>Graph</cite> by feeding <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Proxy" title="torch.fx.Proxy"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code></a> values through an interpreter.
Similarly, we provide the <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Transformer" title="torch.fx.Transformer"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Transformer</span></code></a> class to encompass
this pattern. <a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Transformer" title="torch.fx.Transformer"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Transformer</span></code></a> behaves similarly to
<a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Interpreter" title="torch.fx.Interpreter"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Interpreter</span></code></a>, but instead of calling the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">run</span></code> method to
get a concrete output value from the Module, you would call the
<a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Transformer.transform" title="torch.fx.Transformer.transform"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Transformer.transform()</span></code></a> method to return a new
<a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.GraphModule" title="torch.fx.GraphModule"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">GraphModule</span></code></a> which was subject to any transformation rules
you installed as overridden methods.</p>

In this case, we may need to do some debugging. The key is to work
backwards: first, check the results of invoking the generated module to prove or
disprove correctness. Then, inspect and debug the generated code. Then, debug the
process of transformations that led to the generated code.</p>

<h3>Common Pitfalls in Transform Authoring<a class="headerlink" href="#common-pitfalls-in-transform-authoring" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Nondeterministic <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">set</span></code> iteration order. In Python, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">set</span></code> datatype is
unordered. Using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">set</span></code> to contain collections of objects like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Node</span></code>s,
for example, can cause unexpected nondeterminism. An example is iterating
over a set of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Node</span></code>s to insert them into a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Graph</span></code>. Because the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">set</span></code> data type is unordered, the ordering of the operations in the output
program will be nondeterministic and can change across program invocations.
The recommended alternative is to use a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dict</span></code> data type, which is
<a class="reference external" href="https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-December/151283.html">insertion ordered</a>
as of Python 3.7 (and as of cPython 3.6). A <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dict</span></code> can be used equivalently
to a set by storing values to be deduplicated in the keys of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dict</span></code>.</p></li>

<p>Here, we’ve tried to check equality of the values of two deep learning
models with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">==</span></code> equality operator. However, this is not well-
defined both due to the issue of that operator returning a tensor
and not a bool, but also because comparison of floating point values
should use a margin of error (or epsilon) to account for the
non-commutativity of floating point operations (see
<a class="reference external" href="https://floating-point-gui.de/errors/comparison/">here</a> for more
details). We can use <a class="reference internal" href="generated/torch.allclose.html#torch.allclose" title="torch.allclose"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.allclose()</span></code></a> instead, which will give

<h3>Debugging the Transformation<a class="headerlink" href="#debugging-the-transformation" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h3>

Once we verify that tracing is working as expected, the goal
becomes figuring out what went wrong during our <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">GraphModule</span></code>

<a class="reference internal" href="#writing-transformations"><span class="std std-ref">Writing Transformations</span></a>, but, if not, there are several ways to

</div>
<p>Using the utility functions above, we can compare our traced Module
before and after we’ve applied our transformations. Sometimes, a
simple visual comparison is enough to trace down a bug. If it’s still
not clear what’s going wrong, a debugger like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pdb</span></code> can be a good
next step.</p>
<p>Going off of the example above, consider the following code:</p>

</div>
<p>Using the above example, let’s say that the call to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print(traced)</span></code>
showed us that there was an error in our transforms. We want to find
what goes wrong using a debugger. We start a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pdb</span></code> session. We can see
what’s happening during the transform by breaking on
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">transform_graph(traced)</span></code>, then pressing <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">s</span></code> to “step into” the call
to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">transform_graph(traced)</span></code>.</p>
<p>We may also have good luck by editing the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print_tabular</span></code> method to print
different attributes of the Nodes in the Graph. (For example, we might
want to see the Node’s <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">input_nodes</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">users</span></code>.)</p>

<p>The most common Python debugger is
<a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html">pdb</a>. You can start
your program in “debug mode” with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pdb</span></code> by typing
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">python</span> <span class="pre">-m</span> <span class="pre">pdb</span> <span class="pre">FILENAME.py</span></code> into the command line, where <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FILENAME</span></code>
is the name of the file you want to debug. After that, you can use the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pdb</span></code> <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html#debugger-commands">debugger commands</a>
to move through your running program stepwise. It’s common to set a
breakpoint (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">b</span> <span class="pre">LINE-NUMBER</span></code>) when you start <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pdb</span></code>, then call <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">c</span></code> to
run the program until that point. This prevents you from having to step
through each line of execution (using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">s</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">n</span></code>) to get to the part
of the code you want to examine. Alternatively, you can write
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">import</span> <span class="pre">pdb;</span> <span class="pre">pdb.set_trace()</span></code> before the line you want to break at.
If you add <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pdb.set_trace()</span></code>, your program will automatically start
in debug mode when you run it. (In other words, you can just type
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">python</span> <span class="pre">FILENAME.py</span></code> into the command line instead of
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">python</span> <span class="pre">-m</span> <span class="pre">pdb</span> <span class="pre">FILENAME.py</span></code>.) Once you’re running your file in
debug mode, you can step through the code and examine your program’s
internal state using certain commands. There are many excellent
tutorials on <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pdb</span></code> online, including RealPython’s
<a class="reference external" href="https://realpython.com/python-debugging-pdb/">“Python Debugging With Pdb”</a>.</p>
<p>IDEs like PyCharm or VSCode usually have a debugger built in. In your
IDE, you can choose to either a) use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pdb</span></code> by pulling up a terminal
window in your IDE (e.g. View → Terminal in VSCode), or b) use the
built-in debugger (usually a graphical wrapper around <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pdb</span></code>).</p>

<span id="id4"></span><h2>Limitations of Symbolic Tracing<a class="headerlink" href="#limitations-of-symbolic-tracing" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>FX uses a system of <strong>symbolic tracing</strong> (a.k.a <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_execution">symbolic
execution</a>)
to capture the semantics of programs in a transformable/analyzable form.
The system is <strong>tracing</strong> in that it executes the program (really a
<a class="reference internal" href="generated/torch.nn.Module.html#torch.nn.Module" title="torch.nn.Module"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.nn.Module</span></code></a> or function) to record operations. It is
<strong>symbolic</strong> in that the data flowing through the program during this
execution is not real data, but rather symbols (<a class="reference internal" href="#torch.fx.Proxy" title="torch.fx.Proxy"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code></a> in FX parlance).</p>
<p>Although symbolic tracing works for most neural net code, it has some
limitations.</p>
<div class="section" id="dynamic-control-flow">
<h3>Dynamic Control Flow<a class="headerlink" href="#dynamic-control-flow" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<p>The main limitation of symbolic tracing is it does not currently support
<em>dynamic control flow</em>. That is, loops or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">if</span></code> statements where the
condition may depend on the input values of the program.</p>
<p>For example, let’s examine the following program:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">func_to_trace</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="k">if</span> <span class="n">x</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">sum</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="o">&gt;</span> <span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">:</span>
        <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">relu</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">)</span>
    <span class="k">else</span><span class="p">:</span>
        <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">neg</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">)</span>

<span class="n">traced</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">fx</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">symbolic_trace</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">func_to_trace</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="sd">&quot;&quot;&quot;</span>
<span class="sd">  &lt;...&gt;</span>
<span class="sd">  File &quot;dyn.py&quot;, line 6, in func_to_trace</span>
<span class="sd">    if x.sum() &gt; 0:</span>
<span class="sd">  File &quot;pytorch/torch/fx/proxy.py&quot;, line 155, in __bool__</span>
<span class="sd">    return self.tracer.to_bool(self)</span>
<span class="sd">  File &quot;pytorch/torch/fx/proxy.py&quot;, line 85, in to_bool</span>
<span class="sd">    raise TraceError(&#39;symbolically traced variables cannot be used as inputs to control flow&#39;)</span>
<span class="sd">torch.fx.proxy.TraceError: symbolically traced variables cannot be used as inputs to control flow</span>
<span class="sd">&quot;&quot;&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The condition to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">if</span></code> statement relies on the value of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x.sum()</span></code>,
which relies on the value of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x</span></code>, a function input. Since
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x</span></code> can change (i.e. if you pass a new input tensor to the traced
function), this is <em>dynamic control flow</em>. The traceback walks back up
through your code to show you where this situation happens.</p>
<div class="section" id="static-control-flow">
<h4>Static Control Flow<a class="headerlink" href="#static-control-flow" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h4>
<p>On the other hand, so-called <em>static control flow</em> is supported. Static
control flow is loops or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">if</span></code> statements whose value cannot change
across invocations. Typically, in PyTorch programs, this control flow
arises for code making decisions about a model’s architecture based on
hyper-parameters. As a concrete example:</p>

</div>
<p>The if-statement <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">if</span> <span class="pre">self.do_activation</span></code> does not depend on any
function inputs, thus it is static. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">do_activation</span></code> can be considered
to be a hyper-parameter, and the traces of different instances of
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MyModule</span></code> with different values for that parameter have different
code. This is a valid pattern that is supported by symbolic tracing.</p>
<p>Many instances of dynamic control flow are semantically static control
flow. These instances can be made to support symbolic tracing by
removing the data dependencies on input values, for example by moving
values to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Module</span></code> attributes or by binding concrete values to arguments
during symbolic tracing:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">f</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">flag</span><span class="p">):</span>

<dd><p>Symbolic tracing API</p>
<p>Given an <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nn.Module</span></code> or function instance <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">root</span></code>, this function will return a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">GraphModule</span></code>
constructed by recording operations seen while tracing through <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">root</span></code>.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">concrete_args</span></code> allows you to partially specialize your function, whether it’s to remove control flow or data structures.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">f</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">a</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">b</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="k">if</span> <span class="n">b</span> <span class="o">==</span> <span class="kc">True</span><span class="p">:</span>
        <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">a</span>
    <span class="k">else</span><span class="p">:</span>
        <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">a</span><span class="o">*</span><span class="mi">2</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>FX can typically not trace through this due to the presence of control
flow. However, we can use <cite>concrete_args</cite> to specialize on the value of
<cite>b</cite> to trace through this:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">f</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">fx</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">symbolic_trace</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">f</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">concrete_args</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="s1">&#39;b&#39;</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="kc">False</span><span class="p">})</span>
<span class="k">assert</span> <span class="n">f</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="kc">False</span><span class="p">)</span>  <span class="o">==</span> <span class="mi">6</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Note that although you can still pass in different values of <cite>b</cite>, they will be ignored.</p>
<p>We can also use <cite>concrete_args</cite> to eliminate data-structure handling from
our function. This will use pytrees to flatten your input. To avoid
overspecializing, pass in <cite>fx.PH</cite> for values that shouldn’t be
specialized. For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">f</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">):</span>

<ul class="simple">

denoting the default parameter of the function input. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">kwargs</span></code> is don’t-care. Placeholders correspond to

as previous. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">target</span></code> is the fully-qualified name of the module in the module hierarchy to call.
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">args</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">kwargs</span></code> represent the arguments to invoke the module on, <em>excluding the self argument</em>.</p></li>

<p>If you’re doing graph transforms, you can wrap your own <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code>

<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Proxy</span></code> objects cannot be iterated. In other words, the symbolic

an <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">*args</span></code>/<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">**kwargs</span></code> function argument.</p>
<p>There are two main ways around this:
1. Factor out the untraceable logic into a top-level function and
use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">fx.wrap</span></code> on it.
2. If the control flow is static (i.e. the loop trip count is
based on some hyperparameter), the code can be kept in its original
position and refactored into something like:</p>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The above code will first match <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pattern</span></code> in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">forward</span></code>
method of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">traced_module</span></code>. Pattern-matching is done based on
use-def relationships, not node names. For example, if you had
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">p</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">torch.cat([a,</span> <span class="pre">b])</span></code> in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pattern</span></code>, you could match
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">m</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">torch.cat([a,</span> <span class="pre">b])</span></code> in the original <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">forward</span></code> function,
despite the variable names being different (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">p</span></code> vs <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">m</span></code>).</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">return</span></code> statement in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pattern</span></code> is matched based on its
value only; it may or may not match to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">return</span></code> statement in
the larger graph. In other words, the pattern doesn’t have to extend
to the end of the larger graph.</p>
<p>When the pattern is matched, it will be removed from the larger
function and replaced by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">replacement</span></code>. If there are multiple
matches for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pattern</span></code> in the larger function, each non-overlapping
match will be replaced. In the case of a match overlap, the first
found match in the set of overlapping matches will be replaced.
(“First” here being defined as the first in a topological ordering
of the Nodes’ use-def relationships. In most cases, the first Node
is the parameter that appears directly after <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">self</span></code>, while the
last Node is whatever the function returns.)</p>
<p>One important thing to note is that the parameters of the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pattern</span></code> Callable must be used in the Callable itself,
and the parameters of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">replacement</span></code> Callable must match
the pattern. The first rule is why, in the above code block, the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">forward</span></code> function has parameters <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x,</span> <span class="pre">w1,</span> <span class="pre">w2</span></code>, but the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pattern</span></code> function only has parameters <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">w1,</span> <span class="pre">w2</span></code>. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pattern</span></code>
doesn’t use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x</span></code>, so it shouldn’t specify <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x</span></code> as a parameter.
As an example of the second rule, consider replacing</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">pattern</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">y</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">neg</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">relu</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">y</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>with</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">replacement</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">y</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">relu</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>In this case, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">replacement</span></code> needs the same number of parameters
as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pattern</span></code> (both <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">y</span></code>), even though the parameter
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">y</span></code> isn’t used in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">replacement</span></code>.</p>
<p>After calling <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">subgraph_rewriter.replace_pattern</span></code>, the generated
Python code looks like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">forward</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">x</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">w1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">w2</span><span class="p">):</span>
