Support TPU #269

Open vincent-hui opened 6 years ago

vincent-hui commented 6 years ago

Is it possible to support TPU?

TPU can be used in colab https://colab.research.google.com/github/tensorflow/tpu/blob/master/tools/colab/fashion_mnist.ipynb

haifeng-jin commented 6 years ago

@vincent-hui Yes, we are working on this issue. Please refer to #105 . Thanks.

@haifeng-jin so is there TPU support in Colab for AutoKeras? Or do we have to stick with GPU’s?

haifeng-jin commented 3 years ago

This is a really old issue. I expect we already support TPU, but having some performance issues. Should be solved when we support compile function for AutoModels.

haifeng-jin commented 3 years ago

If anyone is having any error caused by running AutoKeras on TPU. Please paste it here.

Looks like TPU is supported as KerasTuner now supports TPU, here is an example: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1AaFDTQaq8B5p3-FKtNDdMdhlmUHtwOIM?authuser=1#scrollTo=HUJ0LxZnbQnc

and it's quite simple actually with only 2 lines of code:

resolver = tf.distribute.cluster_resolver.TPUClusterResolver(tpu=tpu_address)
strategy = tf.distribute.TPUStrategy(resolver)
clf = ak.ImageClassifier(max_trials=3, distribution_strategy=strategy)

Note: It looks like using with strategy.scope() will not work (same as KerasTuner) and the TPU strategy have to be passed down this way. I think it will be great if this is added somewhere in the documentation (I'm happy to contribute if needed), also thanks for the awesome package!

Edit: Actually there are some models generate that are not compatible with TPU will break, see the same colab above.
