Hi @lminer,
Speed would be the only potential disadvantage that I can think of. I have plans to run more extensive performance comparisons on standard models in the future, but the basic performance tests that I have run, on one particular model, showed only a 6% slow down with deterministic ops enabled.
It would be great if you could try training your model with and without and let me know how much slower (or faster) it trains. Also, confirm that you get determinism.
In the longer-term, I do have plans to increase the performance of determinism in TensorFlow, but I cannot commit to when that will be focused on, tackled, and completed.
This question has been answered. Closing.
Is there any downside to enabling this? Are we losing any speed optimizations for example?
