mindspore.ms_function

mindspore.ms_function(fn=None, input_signature=None, hash_args=None, jit_config=None)

Create a callable MindSpore graph from a Python function.

This allows the MindSpore runtime to apply optimizations based on graph.

Note

ms_function will be deprecated and removed in a future version. Please use jit instead. If input_signature is specified, each input of fn must be a Tensor. And the input arguments for fn will not accept **kwargs.

Parameters

• fn (Function) – The Python function that will be run as a graph. Default: None .

• input_signature (Tensor) – The Tensor which describes the input arguments. The shape and dtype of the Tensor will be supplied to this function. If input_signature is specified, each input to fn must be a Tensor. And the input parameters of fn cannot accept **kwargs. The shape and dtype of actual inputs should keep the same as input_signature. Otherwise, TypeError will be raised. Default: None .

• hash_args (Union[Object, List or Tuple of Objects]) – The local free variables used inside fn, like functions or objects of class defined outside fn. Calling fn again with change of hash_args will trigger recompilation. Default: None .

• jit_config (JitConfig) – Jit config for compile. Default: None .

Returns

Function, if fn is not None, returns a callable function that will execute the compiled function; If fn is None, returns a decorator and when this decorator invokes with a single fn argument, the callable function is equal to the case when fn is not None.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from mindspore import Tensor
>>> from mindspore import ops
>>> from mindspore import ms_function
...
>>> x = Tensor(np.ones([1, 1, 3, 3]).astype(np.float32))
>>> y = Tensor(np.ones([1, 1, 3, 3]).astype(np.float32))
...
>>> # create a callable MindSpore graph by calling ms_function
>>> def tensor_add(x, y):
...     z = x + y
...     return z
...
>>> tensor_add_graph = ms_function(fn=tensor_add)
>>> out = tensor_add_graph(x, y)

>>> # create a callable MindSpore graph through decorator @ms_function
>>> @ms_function
... def tensor_add_with_dec(x, y):

>>> out = tensor_add_with_dec(x, y)

>>> # create a callable MindSpore graph through decorator @ms_function with input_signature parameter
>>> @ms_function(input_signature=(Tensor(np.ones([1, 1, 3, 3]).astype(np.float32)),

...
>>> out = tensor_add_with_sig(x, y)
...
... # Set hash_args as fn, otherwise cache of compiled `closure_fn` will not be reused.
... # While fn differs during calling again, recompilation will be triggered.
>>> def func(x):

...     return inner_fn(x)

>>> inputs = Tensor(np.ones([10, 10, 10]).astype(np.float32))
