<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 →
intermediate representation → transforms → 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

<li><p>What are the operations within the method? The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">get_attr</span></code>,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">call_function</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">call_module</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">call_method</span></code> nodes

<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">></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 arugments.
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>

<h3>The Interpreter Pattern<a class="headerlink" href="#the-interpreter-pattern" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</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>

<p>Often in the course of authoring transformations, our code will not be quite right.
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>

traditional debugging techniques like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print</span></code> statements or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pdb</span></code> is
not as straightfoward. Luckily, we have several techniques we can use
