<span class="target" id="module-torch.jit"></span><p>TorchScript is a way to create serializable and optimizable models from PyTorch code.
Any TorchScript program can be saved from a Python
process and loaded in a process where there is no Python dependency.</p>
<p>We provide tools to incrementally transition a model from a pure Python program
to a TorchScript program that can be run independently from Python, such as in a standalone C++ program.
This makes it possible to train models in PyTorch using familiar tools in Python and then export
the model via TorchScript to a production environment where Python programs may be disadvantageous
for performance and multi-threading reasons.</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">Mixing Tracing and Scripting</a><a class="headerlink" href="#mixing-tracing-and-scripting" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>In many cases either tracing or scripting is an easier approach for converting a model to TorchScript.
Tracing and scripting can be composed to suit the particular requirements
of a part of a model.</p>
<p>Scripted functions can call traced functions. This is particularly useful when you need
to use control-flow around a simple feed-forward model. For instance the beam search
of a sequence to sequence model will typically be written in script but can call an
encoder module generated using tracing.</p>
<p>Example (calling a traced function in script):</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">torch</span>
<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">foo</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="mi">2</span> <span class="o">*</span> <span class="n">x</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="n">y</span>
<span class="n">traced_foo</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">jit</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">trace</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">foo</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">rand</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">),</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">rand</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">)))</span>
<span class="nd">@torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">jit</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">script</span>
<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">bar</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">traced_foo</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">x</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Traced functions can call script functions. This is useful when a small part of
a model requires some control-flow even though most of the model is just a feed-forward
network. Control-flow inside of a script function called by a traced function is
preserved correctly.</p>
<p>Example (calling a script function in a traced function):</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">torch</span>
<span class="nd">@torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">jit</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">script</span>
<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">foo</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">if</span> <span class="n">x</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">max</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="o">></span> <span class="n">y</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">max</span><span class="p">():</span>
<span class="n">r</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">x</span>
<span class="k">else</span><span class="p">:</span>
<span class="n">r</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">y</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">r</span>
<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">bar</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="n">z</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">foo</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="o">+</span> <span class="n">z</span>
<span class="n">traced_bar</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">jit</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">trace</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">bar</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">rand</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">),</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">rand</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">),</span> <span class="n">torch</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">rand</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">)))</span>

<p>This composition also works for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nn.Module</span></code>s as well, where it can be used to generate
a submodule using tracing that can be called from the methods of a script module.</p>

<p>Setting the environment variable <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PYTORCH_JIT=0</span></code> will disable all script
and tracing annotations. If there is hard-to-debug error in one of your
TorchScript models, you can use this flag to force everything to run using native

you can use tools like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pdb</span></code> to debug the model code. For example:</p>

<p>TorchScript also has a representation at a lower level than the code pretty-

<p>TorchScript uses a static single assignment (SSA) intermediate representation
(IR) to represent computation. The instructions in this format consist of
ATen (the C++ backend of PyTorch) operators and other primitive operators,
including control flow operators for loops and conditionals. As an example:</p>

<p>This message indicates to us that the computation differed between when
we first traced it and when we traced it with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">check_inputs</span></code>. Indeed,
the loop within the body of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop_in_traced_fn</span></code> depends on the shape
of the input <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x</span></code>, and thus when we try another <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x</span></code> with a different
shape, the trace differs.</p>

<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>fill_row_zero.py:4: TracerWarning: There are 2 live references to the data region being modified when tracing in-place operator copy_ (possibly due to an assignment). This might cause the trace to be incorrect, because all other views that also reference this data will not reflect this change in the trace! On the other hand, if all other views use the same memory chunk, but are disjoint (e.g. are outputs of torch.split), this might still be safe.
x[0] = torch.rand(*x.shape[1:2])
fill_row_zero.py:6: TracerWarning: Output nr 1. of the traced function does not match the corresponding output of the Python function. Detailed error:
