Since the operator in a program desc will automatically choose the right compute kernel to run based on the data type of the input tensor. We actually don't need to change the program desc to run in float16 mode. However, in this way, users who are used to feeding and fetching tensors of float32 data type when running typical inference may find it confusing and difficult to run inference in float16 mode as they need to convert input data to float16 dtype and then convert the results back to float32 dtype to match the rest of code. So this function appends cast ops to the program desc where necessary so that users are able to run inference in float16 mode while providing input tensor (feed_holder) of float data type and obtaining output tensor (fetch_holder) of float data type. Moreover, it is desired that when we have the scope and program desc to run inference in float32 mode, we can use a single API to do the necessary modification and then user can run float16 inference on the fly. To make this happen, this function also create new parameters in the scope to have the converted float16 weights and change the operators in program desc to use these new parameters. :param program: program to transpile :type program: Program :param place: inference place :type place: Place :param scope: inference scope :type scope: Scope ''' if not isinstance(program, Program): raise TypeError("program should be as Program type") if not isinstance(place, core.CPUPlace) and not isinstance( place, core.CUDAPlace): raise TypeError("place should be as CPUPlace/CUDAPlace type") if scope is None: scope = global_scope() if not isinstance(scope, core.Scope): raise TypeError("scope should be as Scope type or None") self.scope = scope self.place = place self.block = program.block(0) self.input_map = {} # store the input names should be adjusted self._modify_feed_fetch() self._convert_param_to_float16() self._adjust_input(skip=True) self._remove_unused_var() # TODO(luotao): use clone() method to flush the program.desc in force, # since some large program.desc will not be flushed immediately. # And a better solution will be considered later. program = program.clone() # ====================== private transpiler functions ===================== def _adjust_input(self, skip=False): ''' Change the input variable name in operators.
