<li><p><strong>Tracing</strong>: If <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.onnx.export()</span></code> is called with a Module that is not already a
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ScriptModule</span></code>, it first does the equivalent of <a class="reference internal" href="generated/torch.jit.trace.html#torch.jit.trace" title="torch.jit.trace"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.jit.trace()</span></code></a>, which executes the model
once with the given <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">args</span></code> and records all operations that happen during that execution. This
means that if your model is dynamic, e.g., changes behavior depending on input data, the exported
model will <em>not</em> capture this dynamic behavior.
We recommend examining the exported model and making sure the operators look
reasonable. Tracing will unroll loops and if statements, exporting a static graph that is exactly
the same as the traced run. If you want to export your model with dynamic control flow, you will
need to use <em>scripting</em>.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Scripting</strong>: Compiling a model via scripting preserves dynamic control flow and is valid for inputs
of different sizes. To use scripting:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Use <a class="reference internal" href="generated/torch.jit.script.html#torch.jit.script" title="torch.jit.script"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.jit.script()</span></code></a> to produce a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ScriptModule</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Call <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch.onnx.export()</span></code> with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ScriptModule</span></code> as the model. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">args</span></code> are still required,
but they will be used internally only to produce example outputs, so that the types and shapes of the
outputs can be captured. No tracing will be performed.</p></li>

<p>Since we see <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">aten::elu</span></code> in the graph, we know this is an ATen operator.</p>
<p>We check the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/onnx/onnx/blob/master/docs/Operators.md">ONNX operator list</a>,
and confirm that <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Elu</span></code> is standardized in ONNX.</p>
<p>We find a signature for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">elu</span></code> in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch/nn/functional.pyi</span></code>:</p>

<p>We add the following lines to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">symbolic_opset9.py</span></code>:</p>

<p>Now PyTorch is able to export models containing the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">aten::elu</span></code> operator!</p>
